Still going....

From my previous entry it took me until December 17 to hit 190. Since then I've been meddling around the 180s. I've decided to try to lose five more pounds by the end of May and that will put me solidly in the 170s. I did go down in clothing sizes and fit most of the old sz 18s. I also did some shopping so I can stay fully dressed.

That ten pounds was pretty hard to do, and I am just glad that I didn't gain any back. In January I went on a small cruise vacation with SO MUCH FOOD. I hadn't been worried about it because I had gone on a cruise last year and I was so active that I didn't gain. On the second night of the cruise I hurt my foot, actually breaking one toe. :( I spent the rest of the cruise either in a wheelchair or walking clumsily with a cane. I've spent some time in the state of Depression, which generally means less activity, more time wallowing in sorrow, I mean bed.

I'm starting to perk up now that some warm weather is here. I've gone walking the last three nights and I definitely feel better, though still dealing with financial issues, which are an invitation to depression and its friend despair. I may have to take a second job, which I absolutely dread. ABSOLUTELY. Or a new job altogether. I'm working on figuring this out.

My foot a couple of weeks after the cruise.
