March On(e)

My flight into LaGuardia International Airport was without incident. That particular USAirways flight is has a rather dismal on-time rate of 50-60%, so I was pleasantly surprised when we departed at the appointed time and arrived 15 minutes early. Given that I had at least 15 minutes before Joe arrived, I phoned my parents to let them know that I had arrived safely. Within minutes, Joe strolled through the baggage claim area, and we escaped LGA with a mere $3.00 in parking fees.

February was a disappointing "diet" month. After shedding 2lbs. in the first week, I thought I would make my 5lbs. per month goal easily. Sadly, I regained those 2lbs., thus I start March behind the eight ball with 29lbs. down and 25lbs. to go.

In spite of my success, I am struggling to stay focused. Quite frankly, the math and the food are killing me. It has taken me 33 weeks to unload 29lbs., which is slow, and I am barely 50% to goal. Even more depressing: I am utterly bored by food -- thinking about it, measuring it, logging it, calculating the Points value of it.

I wonder if a brief hiatus from "dieting" -- much like my medically-required knitting hiatus -- could rekindle my focus and motivation.
