Hey all.....I am in a funk and need to get out of it! I am only down another pound. Since August 1st I have only lost 9 pounds and it is so depressing. At first I was dealing fine and stayed on plan, now I am rarely tracking my calories - except in my head sort of and I haven't been checking in here which I know is a factor. I haven't gained anything, but I need to get back on plan. I feel stuck, annoyed, angry at myself.
I continue to do an exercise class 2 times a week, but nothing in between. It was three times a week, but now one of the nights my little guy has Cub Scouts and I go with him. I know in my head that if I went walking or used the treadmill between exercise classes that it might start melting off again at the 1-2 pound a week rate so why don't I do it??? I am 216 right now and so badly want to hit Onederland by Christmas.
I need a kick in the pants, some tough love (Robin!!??!) something to snap me out of this!
On the upside, I know a 42 pound loss is good, I just expected more by now. Also, my blood sugars are in the 90-115 range without any medication.....I have been out of it for about 3 weeks and haven't refilled it yet - it's only $4 so it isn't the money I just haven't done it. I am thinking as long as the numbers don't go up I might just keep trying to go without it. I feel better overall, I am enjoying wearing some clothes in my closet that I haven't been able to wear in about 5 years - so that is all good and fun, but I want more success - more relief from the fat!
Help! Talk to me!!!!
