I haven’t given up my quest. Nope, it hasn’t happened. I’m still here, kicking away at trying to lose some poundage.

As for my lack of writing, I had an “uh-oh” of sorts. To be specific, I thought there was a possibility that I was pregnant and as we all know, the last thing a pregnant woman needs to be concerned with is her obesity. If anything, she knows her waistline will only expand, and rapidly. Unfortunately, I am not pregnant so my quest to lose weight continues.

Yesterday, I finally bought a scale. I have mentioned I hadn’t weighed myself since my last doctor’s appointment this past October. Surprisingly, I hadn’t gained any weight since that appointment (yay!) but my weight is still too high. So, here goes:

Angela’s Weigh-in Week One
195 lbs.

Yikes!

Today, I did work on my activity. I spent the entire day swimming. According to Myfitnesspal.com, I burned 1047 calories this afternoon. NICE! And it was fun. Let’s say that swimming is my favorite physical activity.

I’m back on the wagon!

I’ve never been one to weigh myself. I never look as heavy as I weigh and, just like staring at the clock when you want to leave work, sometimes I think weighing myself constantly is counterproductive.

For that reason, I’m actually unsure how much I weigh. At my last doctor’s appointment in October, I weighed-in at 195 lbs. That was up 40 pounds since my previous weigh-in in August of ‘05 when I tipped the scales at 150.

I don’t think I’ve gained much in the last few months. I’m going to guesstimate my current weight at 210.

I’m going to have to hit up my grandmother’s bathroom scale for a more accurate measure. Stay tuned…
