Starting Over

11/16/2009

With the end of race season came a backlash of sorts that I didn’t anticipate. Since I’d set such high goals for next season, I figured I’d stay on track with my diet and exercise plan, no problem. It went well for a couple of weeks and then, problem. Little by little I let old eating behaviors back in and that, in turn, slowed up my exercise some. No excuses, it just happened. I keep trying to get back on track in fits and starts. My last post was titled “I need to run” and I had hoped by posting it, I would have actually gotten out there to do it. That morning however was cold and windy and rainy. I could have gone to the gym. I opted to roll over and go back to sleep. I actually haven’t been running in 8 days. Saturday, the day started...

Ch…Ch…Ch…Ch…Changes

07/07/2009

So this week I threw my points to the wind, sort of, and decided instead to concetrate on what types of food I’ve been eating. Remember, I’ve been at a plateau now pretty much for the last three months. I went pretty far over points on Thursday and Saturday. Not great on Friday either. I return to counting points on Sunday though. Here’s the thing. After my frustration with the scale on Thursday this week, I decided (when I finally let it go) that this week would not be about counting points and it would not be about losing weight. WHAT?, you say? Has she gone over the edge? Nope. I feel like I’ve been letting my frustration with my “weight” really take away from all the healthy changes I’ve been making. I’m thinking my obsession with what the scale says could even be one of the reasons I’m...

Struggling Through a Plateau

03/10/2009

This morning when I got on the scale, it finally budged. I’ve been battling the same two or three pounds for four or five weeks now (I’d stopped counting) and I’ve been more than a little frustrated. This morning I was down two pounds from my weigh in on Thursday, where I was down a mere .2. That’s a total of 43 pounds but I’ve been stuck right there. I’m going to make sure I eat even healthier this week to keep this momentum going.  It just seems so easy to bail when the scale won’t give you any love. Don’t get me wrong. I know it’s not all about the number on the scale. I’ve been getting in my workouts and feeling stronger and stronger. And even though I’m still a little worried about my race in a month, I know I’ll be able to finish it, even...

Tough Week In WW Land

11/23/2008

I started at the gym last week, and I was really excited by how much I was able to do. I also ate really well all week. Stayed right on program, tracked everything I put in my mouth and even went under points on a couple of days….all while working out 4 days in a row. And then I weighed in on Thursday. Nothing. Not one ounce. I stayed the same. Sigh. And Thanksgiving is coming up. Double sigh. In my head, I know it will come off, this week, next week (well maybe not next week) but it will come off. Getting on that scale though and not seeing it budge? No matter what my head knows, that’s so frustrating and somewhat defeating. I don’t mind when the scale stays the same or goes up if there’s a reason, but this was tough. And I know, it could...
