Plateau

I've hit a plateau. It's been weeks since I've lost any weight. I keep fluctuating between 192-193. I got down to 191 a week ago, but I haven't seen that weight since then. Plateaus are frustrating. But in other news...I've quit smoking. My birthday was October 22nd. I woke up feeling like someone stomped on my chest. I didn't smoke anymore after that. It's been 14 days and it's getting easier. Everyone tells me to expect to gain some weight. Screw that. I'll be the only person in history t...

It's not as easy to lose weight at (almost) 38 as it was when I was 31. It's happening, but it is very slow. This week I've lost nothing. NOTHING. And I've followed my fitness plan. But really, if I'm honest with myself, I didn't follow my diet. I had a hell week at work. Actually, I think it was a worse-than-hell week. I really thought the cosmos was punishing me for something I did, or didn't do. The vending machines, now more convenient than ever now that they accept credit cards, wer...

I am really committed to get fit. The problem is there are so many programs out there to help you. I am now a member of 3 fitness sites. They all have different recommendations for diet and exercise programs. I have found that I've been jumping around from one program to another. I feel like I have fitness ADD. Some advice: More is not better. In fact, it's overwhelming. So I'm sticking to this site, not logging into the other ones. In fact, I'm not even following the exercise program on THIS s...

Lunges...I hate them

I started doing my Wii Active game again. I did it yesterday and today. Why, oh why did they have me doing lunges two days in a row??? My butt and quads hurt like a mother and I'm pretty sure I'm walking funny. And I still have my evening cardio to do. I hope I can get through 30 minutes though I really wanted to do 45 minutes tonight. In other news, I got on the scale this morning and I'm UNDER 200 lbs. I was so happy I didn't want to eat cake!

Starting all over

When I was 31, I decided I was going to get in shape. I did, too. Over the course of 6 months, I dropped 40 lbs. I looked good and felt fabulous. When I was 33, I moved and the gym I was a member of wasn't within 20 miles of me. Instead of joining a new one, I put it off. Over the next 5 years, I would have gained 70 lbs. Depression hit me, because I no longer felt good in my skin. I didn't want people to see me who never knew me as my "fat" self. I isolated myself from everyone. Then o...
