2017~~52 Pounds in 52 Weeks Challenge

fraiseroja

Week 8 of 52
SW 179
GW 130ish
CW 170
This week's loss- 0
Lost 9

Successes: I'm actually happy I had no gain or loss week. I've been super sick for two weeks and not allowed to work out this week. I could barely walk around and do my job (teacher) let alone work out. Don't worry I was not contagious. My appetite did come back in full swing so again, happy for the no gain.
Challenges: honesty I am still a bit shaky so my challenge to myself is to work out at least once this week. Very modest goal? You bet. But I am going to be truthful and accomplish it than lie to myself and then feel defeated when I didn't do it. Also I really need to log!

Good luck everyone

Goal weight:175
Current weight:192
Total weight lost:14 lbs.
This week's successes: Keeping at it and remembering to eat on a normal schedule. Starting to insert a little exercise here and there. I found a sweet app called "just reminder". It actually goes off reliably, and reminds me to do some exercises or eat a snack. I set it up to remind me to do exercises at times when I know I'll just be goofing off on my phone.

This week's challenges: Finding time and motivation in the moment to exercise. Always a challenge. Also, I figured out my scale was not working correctly, so I had thought I was losing weight that I actually wasn't. Turns out I wasn't, and now the scale should be fixed. Lol

As you can see, I've failed to log in for over a month, severe issues at home had left me in the doldrums and weight stagnation issues just compounded my problems. To top it all, I pushed hard and doubled my Insanity fitness programme, back to back, result was a week off to recover, so when you're at 52, your head says "you can do it", but your body says "oh no you can't".
So if you're like me, so damned impatient, want to see results. Take body pics every couple of weeks, when your weight stagnates for a few weeks, get the tape measure out instead and if you've lost more than half an inch anywhere, then well done you!
Now whilst your body is resetting its "body clock" up the ante, mix up your routine somewhat, push harder for 30 secs, slow down, push hard for another 30 secs, slow down and repeat; up the exercise another 5-10 mins each month, it will make a difference and if like me, fall off the wagon for a few days or more and see you put 2lb in weight on in a couple of days, rather than the usual yo-yo with a steady weight loss, then you're falling back into your old ways, time to put in the jogging shoes.
No matter what life throws at you, No matter how hard you think things are becoming, hold one thought, your fitness your goal, only one person can take that from you. I'll see you at the 'finishing line' because I'm determined to reach it!

But you're still here, plugging away. Last night was an epic fail for me - so much so that I cannot even begin to guess to log it - heavy hors d'oeuvres and open bar. I'm with you - just write that off and begin fresh today.
