It’s been awhile since I’ve updated anyone about my weightloss progress and frankly it isn’t really progress just a gentle stall. I’ve lost my mojo and while I haven’t really gained I certainly am not doing anything to continue losing. I’m not sure what has happened but I’m finding that I no longer am watching what I eat. Things like vanilla soft serve cones from Sonic, 22oz cokes and m&m’s have slipped quietly back into my life and I’m really enjoying them. The desire to limit the kinds of food I eat and the amount of calories I consume has completely gone away. I’ve also been struggeling with the amount of time I spend a week exercising. I still go to the gym about 3 times a week and I’ve tried walk/running around my neighborhood but I’m not giving things the attention that I once was.
This week I’ve decided that I need to break this bad trend. I need to do it before I really lose my grip on any good pseudo-habits I had developed. So I promise myself these things:
- I will download my bodybugg information everyday this week
- I will record every single thing I consumed during the day before I go to bed
- I will go to water aerobics monday & thursday
- I will get up at 6 a.m. tuesday, wednesday & friday and spend at least 45 minutes doing cardio and 10 minutes doing strength building activities
- I will not talk myself out of doing these things at any time!
Today my current weight is 265. Friday it will be lower!

I really need to start back at the gym in the morning too. I can’t get my lazy butt out of bed lately. Maybe if we were each looking for each other then we both may be more motivated? I will try and get out of bed tomorrow and I will look for you at the gym. (Try is the key word!)
