So I have literally lost my mind in the last week and a half/two weeks. Seriously. I can be good for like a total of 4 hours, what am I a toddler?!? I have gained back a TON! of weight, I mean a ton!!!! Like half of what took me forever to lose. How can that happen? Id like to blame water... I'm sure that's part of it, Ive been bad with the yucky stuff and I feel like a bloated carp, but I know that's not it.
Im on track today... for the moment. I guess when it comes to this I just need to "live in the moment" no past no future just the ever present, present.
As an additional kick on my overly round arse I have come to the very concrete conclusion that my Wii, even with its Wii carpet feet on, is about 6 or 7 lbs off!!!!!! Not in a good way either... like in a bad way, like I'm 6 or 7 lbs HEAVIER than I thought :(((((( Can I just crawl back into bed?
I did this before, I kicked this outta the park why cant I this time? I am trying to think back on that time in my life, what were my driving factors blah, blah... I was alone then. No internet to search for inspiration. No heavy people near me. I did it alone and yet with all of the support I have now I cant seem to get my rear in gear!!!
I just gotta keep at it... anything worth doing takes time.
*As a side note, I'm thinking of joining a weight loss contest as motivation. The prize is $500.00 and that would sure be nice. What do you guys think about keeping motivated through contests?

I've gained too, HoneyB, so you're not alone. As far as contests go, I have joined a few and became discouraged when my progress was not as fast as others. I think I do better working at my own pace and avoiding comparison to others. But hey, if $500 will motivate you, go for it!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Your garden sounds marvelous and I love that the kids are involved too.
Sorry to hear about the gain, but it happens to all of us. Remember that this is a marathon, not a sprint. Stay with it.
ReplyDeleteI find that the challenges are super-motivating for me. Even more so, when the challenge is based on the activity, not the scale. Like now, I am doing my own little challenge of riding my bike up these huge hills at least 10 times in a month. I've committed to updating my blog every time I do it. (I hope the weight will follow!).
As for the weight loss challenge, could it be based on percentage of loss vs. weight? It might be more fair to all people. Just a thought.
Love your blog. It is sweet.
Clyde, the weight loss challenge is based on percentage just for that reason :) Its who ever losses the biggest percentage of their body weight :)
ReplyDeleteI did it, I entered .... I guess the rest is really just up to me... :)
Maybe you need to start a food journal? One where you write down everything you eat immediately after eating it. Even if it is just one almond or tasting something while baking/cooking. You have to be very diligent with them and record every last thing you eat.
ReplyDeleteThe idea behind them is to keep you accountable to yourself and sometimes they are eye openers to how much we are really eating.
hi honeyb, just catching up on some reading. your 'fat ass' label made me laugh.
ReplyDeletei did the same a couple of weeks ago (earned the label) and totally blew everything. it takes so long to work it off, but it feels like only seconds to pile it back on. i'm hoping your more recent posts show you're back on track already! xx
