Keeping up appearances

Things may look a little different. I am trying this from my phone tonight.

I've decided to make weigh in day on Fridays now. I thought to myself that I sometimes cheat on the weekends and it makes it difficult for good results to come out of a weigh in on Mondays because of this.

I still did okay this week. Got lots of good walks in and a lot of bug bites to boot. The trails we walk are pretty deep in the woods. Lots of fly dope is required. And although I love walking there, sometimes I am just too tired to take a shower. But I sit down and that's all I can smell is fly dope. Ew. I measured myself kind of today. I am not losing any inches. Maybe one total. But I am losing the pounds. Slowly but surely.   I figured if I can't do both at the same time, at least one will do.

Even though I consider this a "personal" blog, I do want to thank the people who come hear from other parts of the world. Weather you come here because you are on the same mission as I am, or stumbled across this by accident, I'm glad you did and why don't you leave a message?

I call it a personal blog because it seems to help me sometimes. Just to look back and see my ups and downs that I have encountered along the way. It has been a long hard trek to get where I am. Many times I thought about giving up and letting myself get back to the horrible place I was before. Then I look back and say "No! You had a funeral for the old Carrie. It was your first post. Don't let zombie Carrie get to you. Don't let it out."  And I don't. I get back on track and kick zombie Carrie back down to the ground.

But of course there are struggles I encounter. Like today, I treated myself to a soft swirl ice cream. And I totally think it was worth it. I'm sure I burned it off on my walk.

Either way, I'm up way past my bed time. I best get to bed and be prepared for a busy day tomorrow.

Night peeps!!
