Sigh. I have a confession to make. I considered lying today. I was so disappointed to step on the scale and seeing ZERO change. AGAIN. But I promised I would be honest and accountable to my readers. So I'm not lying. I've been fighting off the Thanksgiving bulge, the weight gained around this time of the month, and the fact that I've only gotten in one WOD and just have been walking my dog. I know that my efforts are doing something because I'm not gaining - with the meds I'm on, if I don't make an effort I gain easily - but I NEED to break this plateau. I keep saying I just need my body to calm down enough so I can settle into a routine. It just seems like that day isn't coming. I'm struggling here. I want to do more, I NEED to do more, and I am not sure how to get it in.
Folks, I need your help. Give me ideas of how to fit exercise into my day - and high intensity cardio is out due to my heart issues. Throw your best suggestions at me. Help me get out of this rut.
Highest Weight: 235
Lowest Weight: can't remember
Last week's weight: 192
Today's Weight: 192
I'll keep saying this until it's true. Because failure is not an option.
Don't be discouraged, lovely!!! This is the worst time of year to be trying to lose! You haven't gainenodder the biggest food holiday of the year, and that's amazing!! Be proud!!!! Pat yourself on the back!!! Your efforts are definitely paying off! Walking the dog is great. I would also suggest maybe some yoga and pilates if possible?? Maybe biking? Also, try switching up your food choices and seeing how that goes! Most importantly, smile and give urself the credit you deserve!! You rock! Keep working hard! Spa <3
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jenna!!
DeleteOh, we had a similar reaction to stepping on the scale today. :) I know you're bummed you didn't lose, but I think it's great you didn't gain! I need to work on making working out a priority too. I just bought a bunch of ballet/yoga/pilates DVDs that I'm hoping will keep,me active indoors.
ReplyDeleteTiffany, big hugs!! I was SOOO sure that I had lost, and stepping on the scale was so disappointing. But having this buddy system really helped me keep accountable and I'm so grateful that you kept it real too :)
