I am still at 137. I am really struggling with these last 7-10 pounds. Part of it is not necessarily lack of motivation, but more a self-defeating attitude. I know I am close, and therefore have not been as careful about what I eat. I still log in everything I eat, and have actually been averaging right at 1400/day, but have not been eating the right sorts of food. It is mid-week already - I ate pretty well yesterday, not too bad today, but I will be traveling back from NY to DC tonight and will probably grab a sandwich for dinner that I can eat on the train.
Also, and I know this sounds like excuses, but it isn't *really*
, I am still getting over the flu and bronchitis and am having a very hard time breathing whenever I exert myself. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical Saturday, and was literally gasping for air before I was finished. DH threatened to tie me to the couch if I didn't get off of elliptical and sit down. Then I did not work out Sunday because I was still having such a hard time breathing. I have been walking and doing yoga the past few days, but it isn't the same as cardio.
How do you all stay on target when you are close? I need some common sense tips!
Dinah, I am also traveling for work right now. I need to bring a portable dvd player with me! The corporate apartments I am staying in have a VCR, but no DVD player. I don't even have the option of a funky hotel fitness room!
PurpleCrush - losing inches is just as good, if not better, than losing weight because you know it is all muscle rather than fat! Three inches around the hips is fantastic.
Jenn - congratulations on your weight loss!!! You are so close to your goal I am sure you will make it soon!
