PHEW! I dodged another bullet... Despite not getting any exercise due to a bad leg and then going away the weekend on a road trip, I still lost weight... not much mind you (.2 lbs) but it's still heading in the right direction! :D
The problem is, I'm starting to get bored with this now... and that's not a little problem, it's a BIG problem! I notice I'm starting to make up excuses again to snack. I'm not holding myself back like I was before... Now I haven't fully gone off the wagon, but I'm slacking compared to the first few months. I know it sounds weird because it's up to me what I do... but I'm worried! I know all too well how easy it is to quit and go back to eating whatever/whenever!
I need to find a way to motivate me further. The bet with Hubby has kind of gone by the wayside (as the saying goes) because we can't afford to be dishing out $40 bucks a month on a bet. Not that I ever once did what I was meant to do with the money and spend it on something fun like bingo. I spent it on stuff that was needed for our trip south and personal items. I was too responsible with it... sucked the fun right out of it I did!
I really don't want to gain back any weight, I worked too damn hard to get where I am! I'll have to figure this out... I'd say exercise is the key but it seems every night there is something going on. Tomorrow night Hubby has plans. Wednesday night I have an eye appt. Thursday night I am donating blood... maybe Friday night we could go for a walk at this point. The only other time a day I have free is at lunch time and by the time I get my lunch into me there's usually less than half an hour left.
I'll have to figure this out... I really don't want to be fat anymore! :(
Stay tuned....
A 15 minute walk at lunch every day would be about 5 miles a week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Melanie, I never knew that! It really doesn't have to be big does it, you just have to move... :)
