I keep changing my fitness. I know that sounds weird, but the food aspect of it is confusing to me. I eat below my caloric goal, I try and get more plant type foods in everyday (WHY WHY WHY am I such a DAIRY hound?! If you don't want to eat that apple, you aren't Hungry!) So what I CAN do is change up the fitness. I seem to be one of those people who dig the work out (I've kind of always been baffled that I got to 307 lbs because I LOVE to move my body).
Recently I downloaded to C25k App for my Ipod. This very lovely British woman encourages me with timed vocals and micromanagement, which somehow I respond to. I guess I like structure, deep deep down. Now, I'm nowhere near running. So when she commands RUN! I start to walk as Speed walky as I can speed walk and when she says Walk, I back off. It's my own version of kicking up the intensity of what was becoming a perfectly boring walking routine. Plus, it made me finally make that playlist to import over.
I fancy myself doing the C25K with running, but not until my muscles and body can support it. Until then, I plan on spending 2 weeks on each 1 of the plan until I'm speed walking the whole time. Or until I'm so bored, I've moved on.
I also rotate out Dance, Pilates, NIA (my favorite) and weights as supplemental work outs. It seems to keep my attention and my motivation.
The again, this is week 4 for me. HA! I can not imagine week 15- your attention span and your willpower seem quite strong to me! Keep it going! I'm sure, just like with everything else (marriage, money, good hair days) it ebbs and flows. Maybe you just need some sort of WOO HOO reward day to celebrate your current amazing self.
