It's been a while...

Jun 11, 2009

Well, just wanted to do a real quick check in. Things are going really great her. since reaching onederland the weight is just falling off. I am averaging 2.5 - 3 pounds a week and that's every week. So, I flew through the 190's and am now more than 1/2 way through the 180's. In just 17 pounds away from the lightest  I've been in more than 10 years. It is very exciting.

However, I am still struggling horribly with the exercise. I worked out so hard to lose the weight last time that as soon as I backed out just a bit I started gaining. I had maxxed out and had nowhere to go to continue the weight loss. Now I sit here losing without the exercise and feel that I'm doing my tool a disservice. To be healthy exercise is a must period. So, then why can't I get my butt in gear. I definitely have the energy but in my head I keep telling myself save it for when the weight stops coming off. Give yourself something to fall back on. I wish I could get through to this thick head of mine. I NEED to exercise. Ideally I want to walk no less than 4 times a week and add 3 days of weight resistance and flexibility exercises. It would work out to about 5 1/2 hours per week. That's totally doable. And about a third of what I was doing the last time. I just need to do it and quit thinking about it.

So all in all things are great. I am in a size 11/12 and will be out of those shortly. I feel amazing and starting to look that way also. This tool is such a gift and I am so grateful.
