Weight Loss: Week 3

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.

  2. I 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!
