I’m not going to eat between meals and I’m not going to take seconds._ Just today. And I’m going to try this for a year to see what happens.

Apparently getting in better shape doesn’t keep me from blasting posts into nothing.i I had everthing totally typed out much earlier today and in a moment of inattention closed my browser without actually publishing it. Or something.d I’m not really sure about what happened except that the post I typed out isn’t here.

And maybe it’s just as well that it’s gone. I wrote it after my morning walk and after noticing the amazing change from last year. Which is that while last year I’d have never gone walking in the middle of summer wearing a dress without hose, that’s exactly what I did this morning. And I’ve been doing it all summer.

It’s a wonderful thing to do — just put on a summer dress and walk around.l It’s much cooler than jeans or even shorts. But because my legs have been so chubby, I haven’t been able to do it for years.

When I realized what I was doing and how great it felt, I decided that I am NEVER, EVER going to revert to my former bad ways. This was just too fun.] I’m not going back to being hobbled by fat thighs again. I liked it so much I went for a second walk just a little while ago and I didn’t imagine it.s Even in 93 degree heat (maybe more on the high school track) it was easy and comfortable to walk for as long as I wanted.

I’ve been thinking about it all day. And renewed my commitment because of the experience.y I can’t let myself drift into bad habits that bring that weight back.
