February 1st

So I begin February at 262 - a whole 6 pounds lighter than I began January.  I did hit 260 a few days ago. Maybe it was a light day, or maybe today is a heavy day. Sometimes it's like that.
I can't really be too disappointed in the small weightloss because I didn't really do anything other than be aware of my need to drop some weight and have some good intentions to do so. For February I need to be more purposeful. 
Just a couple of years ago I would dress for the cold weather and walk in the winter. These days I'm just not feeling it. I need to make good use of the stationary cycle, treadmill, and other equipment that we have in the basement to get some activity during these colder months. 

I'm still an advocate of "eat to control weight and exercise for better health" or "you can't out exercise a poor diet," so a little more food control is also on the platter (so to speak). That philosophy actually works out better for me and losing weight since I'm to the point that controlling diet is easier than getting into a regular fitness routine. Don't get me wrong - I'm still in need of the exercise for the fitness part. I'm just saying that's the more difficult part for me.
