I'm just going to call it that. No part of what I am doing is contributing to getting fit, unless you count the couple miles I walk per week, which I don't.
I'm down to 143. That's 7 lbs in three weeks purely from watching what I eat. But, like I said last week, I'm lacking motivation. I'm ready to throw in the towel. Weight loss without exercise is just not cutting it.
So...my options:
1) Quit. Call 143 good and tackle it when the weather gets warmer and I can go back to walks with the kids, which kills two birds with one stone. Oh so tempting.
2) Figure out how to exercise. This makes me want to die. I can't find time to EAT, let alone exercise. (Seriously - I've skipped lunch twice this week because I've been so busy at school.) I don't have my yoga membership anymore :( and we don't have a treadmill. I'm just not sure how to swing it.
3) Keep doing what I'm doing. Ugh. I keep trying to remind myself that I'm no good with maintenance - I do better with rules - but then I think, "One year ago, I was probably 195 lbs. I'm at 143. That's 52 lbs. I can be content with that."
Sigh. I don't know what to do. Someone (Lindsey?) told me I would probably get to 140, but then I wouldn't be happy there, so I would want 135, and then I wouldn't be happy there, so I would want 130. I can totally see how that could happen. And maybe it's okay for me to be this size and be happy with it for now, and tackle it when I have the full force of my resources behind me.
Oy.
I don't think I said that's, but it's probably true. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have an eliptical not being used that I want to get rid of. It's not a heavy duty one, but you can def get your sweat on with it!
