About Me
I live outside Reno, NV, and I have the dreaded desk job at a big casino, admin for the Security Department. It's not usually particularly stressful and sometimes it's really interesting, and my bosses are the best. But it does mean that I spend a lot of time sitting, so I've struggled with my weight for years. I've done a few of the crazy things like Atkins, but nothing ever worked long-term so now I'm trying to just balance what I eat with how much I move, and let it happen more naturally. My hobbies include travel to the tropics (when I can afford it) to scuba dive, reading, bird watching, and fly fishing. I'm learning to cook now, too. One of my dreams is to see Ireland and Scotland someday.

IrishEyes's Journal
Title...
No, I didn't walk 142 miles in 1 day - that's a compilation of everything since I last made an entry here back on Jan. 23. I've been tracking on a datasheet in my PC. Since I plan to start using DB again beginning Monday, that entry is just to get my walking miles caught up.

Glad you are getting back into it

Ouch!
Yeah, I did myself some damage during my vacation. When I got home I purposely stayed off the scale, since I had decided that today would be my re-start, but I did start watching what I was eating so I might have actually been a little heavier a few days ago. But I'll never know!

Got to get motivated!
I've been a bit of a slug again, for about two weeks now. A slightly strained thigh muscle made me cut back on my running, and I have to admit that I used it as an excuse to get lazy. It seems to be OK now; I ran day before yesterday and the only soreness was the norm for muscles that haven't been used for awhile. We're on vacation, when we tend to eat out a lot and I eat too much, and without a scale I'm not sure if I've gained weight or not. All of my clothes still fit the same, so I can't be doing too bad. - - - - I'm going to use Nov.1, which is Celtic New Year, as a new kick-off point. And, we're considering taking a trip to Jamaica in January. What could be a better motivator to lose 15 pounds?!? I'm sure that there will be a November weight-loss challenge, too. Maybe I'll start tracking my food again, at least a few days a week. It makes me crazy, but I have to admit that it works.
