i fluctuate like crazy but it looks like the latest re-gain crises had passed
last week i posted about having gone way above 140 after a few weeks of eating like a pregnant elephant (being depresed and PMSing didn;t help) and was seriously worried about getting on a slippery slope to major re-gain.
the good news is i'm under 140 and even 130 again...officially 129.5 as of today (btw., for some reason i hae this weird thing about numbers--there's no rime of reason to it but to me a difference beween 130 and 129.5 is a bigger deal than, for example a difference between 125 and 129 or 131 and 134--makes no sence but it's some weird psychological thing i have about thresholds.
i haven't kept my resolution to start exercising again ( i had like literary 10 job interviews in the last week or so so i've been stressed and hurried) but i've got to stop making excuses, it's always something or other, like choosing which job offer accept, starting a new job, not feeling well, being under the weather (whatever the weather may be), alien abduction, global warming, crises in the middle east--i admire those of you guys who stuck with exercise long term and hope to join your ranks again.

So weird but I totally understand you on the number thing! Those thresholds really mess with our heads but I'm glad you are able to be happy with your numbers again. Hope that the job interviewing paid off, be sure to let us know the good news when it happens.
The only reason I've stuck with long term exercising is because it is my job. That and the economy is one thing that keeps me afraid of looking for a different job. I know me well enough to know that without this heavy labor I probably wouldn't come home and exercise so at least if I stay where I am I know there is a workout every day.
Trying not to eat like one of those elephants myself this week. Man, it would be so much easier to just give in sometimes. All it took for a little encouragement was accidentally grabbing a too-small pair of jeans a few days ago and after trying to cram my *ss into them I had to recognize that I've just got to cut back on calories.
Hey, speaking of making excuses: my 15-yr. old has a great one that I haven't been successful yet at getting around. The world is going to end in 2012 according to the Mayan calendar so why does he have to worry about his weight/health/future/finances/etc.
Hang in there with the exercise.
