We are almost halfway through February and I must admit that the 2.7 is getting more bearable. I cannot imagine 2.8 at all and 2.7 is still something that requires a lot of my personal motivation to get to but I can do it and I am not weeping like I was the first few days of the month. I know that’s how it’s supposed to work, but it’s still nice to see.
I’m still hungrier than usual and sneaking a bit more than I should which is why I think I’ve lost so little in the last few weeks. I’ve even had to weigh myself a few times to see a loss and not gain. Cheating? Maybe but I only note it if it does show a loss. And long term it all equals out anyway. I need to stop sneaking and eat better and more.
According to the fitbit, I am moving more which is good. Most days, I reach 9,000 or more steps now. And I am happy about that. I am trying to take the longer way, park far, and not be too lazy to go upstairs, etc. So that I can use the excuses to move more. The TMJ doctor helped me with my tailbone a bunch this week too so it’s feeling better and that makes a tangible difference. So all in all, progress is being made. However slow and small. Progress is progress.
and here’s this week’s card:
Healthy for Life is a weekly project for 2011. You can read more about it here.
Just a comment about your mention of being hungrier. You’re going to be with increasing your exercise load. I don’t remember what it is that you’ve mentioned eating every day, but if you graze during the day (versus eating 3 big meals), that should help satisfy your hunger without too much added food intake, really. Also, the decreased weight loss may be attributed to you having reached a plateau spot in your loss. Just keep going! Cheering you on here… 😀
ahem – you may not like me saying this but weight loss is no measure of fit how your body is or how good it looks. still, i do admire your commitment!
thank you for being honest with me. and i totally agree, but i still want to lose it. 🙂
