Two months out...33 pounds down.

Jul 31, 2011

I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a bit disappointed.  I was 22 pounds down at one month, so I've only lost 11 pounds this month. With it only being my second month, I definitely expected to lose more. Especially since I weigh the same today as I did one week ago.  Heck, I expected to lose more last month too. My weight loss is very slow. I go a week with no change and then drop a pound or two.  I was really hoping to lose 3 measley more pounds this month as that would have brought me to my next milestone - no longer having a Morbidly Obese BMI! In three pounds I'll just be plain ol' Obese. :) 

I'm not making bad food choices. If anything, my NUT said I need to eat more carbs. She said my diet was TOO protein heavy and "Atkins-like" after she reviewed my food journal. I'm getting on average 700 calories per day, sometimes 500 on a grouchy pouch day.

I need to exercise. That is something  that I have slacked on. I can't seem to find the time or the motivation. With a full-time job and two preschoolers, free time is minimal. when it comes at the end of the day, I'm too exhausted. I'm going to have to resolve myself to get up extra early in the AM and exercise before the kids get up. I'm so not a morning person, so that is going to take significant motivation that I don't have. Maybe this month's disappointment will be motivation enough. We'll see what happens when the alarm goes off tomorrow. ;)
