I have been seriously slacking on this whole weight-loss journey endeavor as of lately. I am not sure where my mojo has gone, but it’s definitely not around anymore. But, I am not giving up. As of right now I weight 251.2. Not too shabby, but not that great either. I definitely wanted to be in the 240’s at this point.
So, I am evaluating my game plan. I am considering several things.
First, I am reconsidering Weight Watchers. It works for SO many people and I love that some of their things are zero points. I am not sure why this matters to me, but when you’re counting EVERY single calorie of every single thing that goes into your mouth it can drive you insane. There are actually times when I am annoyed because I have to enter in every single ingredient of a complicated meal and there isn’t any other way to do it. I feel like WW might be slightly less complicated and take less thinking time.
I realize that complaining about something that silly is…well…silly, but I am crazy busy and I need every extra minute I can have.
Second, I am going to rejoin the local gym in mid-May. I have fallen behind on running and forcing myself to get onto the elliptical. I really think if I had a fun, energetic class to look forward to it would get me up and moving right now. I desperately need that.
I am getting some exercise while walking my dogs (they go for walks about every 2 hours and it takes approximately 20 minuets to walk them, so when you subtract the times I am not here that ends up being 40-60 minutes per day) and that doubles up on the days I am off and here with them all day. Every little bit helps and I know that is what is keeping the weight from piling back on at this point.
I still have goals and I am still planning on getting back into running, but I really just need to make some more realistic goals for myself that I can keep up with and won’t compromise.
I might be slow and a little discouraged, but I am still doing it.
