Because....

I SUCK.

Seriously. I am sucking so bad at the weight thing this last, oh, 4-5 days that I can't muster up the guts to get on the scale either. One of my partners in this "marathon" as we call it is going through it too. I am hoping that it's just the spring fever that has us. As soon as school is out for my daughter (tomorrow is the last day!!), we will be taking family bike rides, etc. It WILL be done. As God as my witness.... this WILL happen.

Now is NOT the time to be getting down.... I have, have, HAVE to lose the weight and stop smoking. I am just too "instant results" oriented. It's that simple. I need to change my mindset. I have to. And I AM.

Taking the Chantix. It's hard to tell if it's working or not, as I have only been on it three days and am still on the lowest end of the dosage. Tomorrow the dose goes up. I will most likely start to see things happening then. I hope. No.... I WILL.

Note: This isn't something that has to or even can be done in a matter of a couple of days. These are two MAJOR life changes. They both take time to fix. To fix FOREVER, not just for today.

Marathon, not a sprint, right? :-) Went for a family HIKE today. Walked with the kids and hubs down to the playground at Zorinsky. Which is all well and good, except for the fact that it's uphill the whole way home! And we probably walked a good 3-4 miles, so that's good. Motivation has waned a lot, but I'm hoping that my moods swings very soon and I'll get back on it!

Hang in there - we will do this!

BTW - you don't suck!

Just read your comment back at my place. In case you were wondering -I did get the double stroller at Babies R Us today. A side-by-side double umbrella. It's a Jeep brand. Seems to work okay. HEAVY, but good! :-)
