walkin', yes indeed

went for a 30-minute walk around the neighborhood in spite of some weird but consistent nausea and the fact that it's about 4 degrees out. i had plans to go for a longer walk after work, but things were just conspiring against me. but still--30 minutes of walking is way better than none.

if i make it for 30 or more minutes of cardio something 4 times this week, i will consider that pretty good.

moment of truth...

alone in the kitchen (at work) with 2 dozen krispy kreme doughnuts...

and i walked away.

that, my friends, is possibly the first step back on track. well you know, that and finding my spices, cookware, and dishes in all the moving mess. and going to the grocery store for the first time in 3 weeks.

in other news, after all the moving stuff, my pants are loose even though i have been eating crap. apparently moving heavy things around all day IS a workout. i haven't weighed yet (god knows where the bathroom scale is!), but i know i've lost something from the way things are feeling and fitting. now it's time to get back into the gym, back onto the weight machines, and back in shape. and this time, i'm actually glad about it. for all that i am still a tad run down, i do feel good about all the activity of the past few weeks. i hope i can keep it up!
