Weekly check in 4-6

Sorry, you're not getting the detailed food list this week. (I'm sure you're horribly disappointed). I'm having some issues exporting the list at the moment.

It's Period Week, which means a slight gain as I greatly indulged my salt cravings this past weekend. Just 1.2lbs, bringing me back to 234.2. No biggie. It'll be gone plus some at the end of this week.

(And OMG it is also Cramps From Hell Week. *whimpers*)

For those who don't know uglygrandmother, who was kind enough to give me a place to live when my life fell apart, has quit smoking. This is a very, very good thing. It does mean that we have all been going through withdrawal all week, so everyone feels like crap. Including the cats. That said, it was a good week for me, overall.

I am discovering that I just can't make myself exercise once I get home from working a day shift. By the time I've driven home, decompressed, cooked and eaten dinner, well- I'm exhausted, and my legs are killing me. My foot problems seem to be coming back. This is bad. What I do instead is try and work some exercise into my work routine. I try not to stand still, always, moving or dancing about a bit, and do some stepping and pushups periodically.

What I'd like to do is find a decent gym I could hit after work to do some weight training. It's been years, so I'd need refreshers on the machines, but I used to love strength training. My issues are still the same though; I hate the idea of being watched while I work out, because my inner self always assumes people are being critical or derisive. Of course, having been told that I had no business taking up the weight machine times since I was just a fat lazy cow is still a memory I need to let go of. It is difficult. Maybe if I had someone to work out with, it'd be a bit easier. Any takers?

Clothes that were tight this time last year are loose. Yay!

I've been cooking more at home too, trying to help Trudy out. I think that's been good for food intake, all around.
