Wednesday Weigh-In, August 5th, 2009

Wednesday Weigh-In, Blog to fit Even though I don’t post my weigh-in here every Wednesday, I am keeping up with it and usually post it on the Blog to Fit blog.

Since I’m back to work as a short-term supplemental instructor, I need to watch it so that I don’t fall into my old bad habits.

In the past, each time I worked with a license class, I would pack on more weight. However, these days, I am doing a lot of things differently — besides making it to the gym on a regular basis.

Some of the BAD things that I don’t do anymore include:

…. stopping at convenience store on way to work and buying junk food
…. stopping at convenience store on way home and buying junk food
…. stopping at fast food places and buying LARGE CHOCOLATE SHAKES (not something I’d do regularly, just on impulse)
…. stopping at and buying anything at fast foot places
…. stopping and buying donuts (another irregular impulse)
…. eating out several times a month — we may go out to eat once or twice a month.
…. buying anything from the junk food vending machine across the hall from my office
…. buying anything from the junk food machine on the first floor when I’m working late in the simulator

XUP August 6, 2009 at 10:02 AM: Wow — beyond even the weight loss is the fact that you’ve stuck with it all this long. By now it’s surely become a normal way of life rather than a “program”, no?
Vered - Blogger for Hire August 6, 2009 at 2:10 PM: Sounds like you made some important changes to your eating habits. This is great.
