When it comes to weight loss, the past month and a bit have been really difficult for me. I haven't put on any, but I haven't lost any either (about 1 &1/2 kilo loss is all).
I've stalled.
I got comfy at my new weight, which is the lightest I've been in 10 years.
But I've got a bit more to lose.
I just haven't tried hard enough.
I'm not going to beat myself up about it as I think that would be counter productive and would probably send me spinning into a chocolate coma.
Instead, I've gone back to basics.
- Back to clean, basic, uncomplicated eating (like in this post).
- Back to writing down EVERYTHING I PUT IN MY MOUTH.
- Back to using my treadmill for an hour everyday.. it has just been repaired and now back in tip top condition.
I missed it.
Never thought I'd say that.
Never thought I'd wear these either. But I do and if you workout, can I suggest you try these from Body for Women, they are so comfy. You can get them here.
So why am I telling you all of this?
To keep myself accountable of course.
Everyone needs a kick in the capris now and then.
&
To ask for some kind words of encouragement too.
Any advice if you've got it....or do you have a similar story?
What did you do to get yourself "up & running" again?
I'd love to know.
Have a great week
Timely post for me Marnie. Having that tummy virus and then both kids got me out of routine going to the gym. Its been a few weeks and of course the diet's gone a little off track. I've got one home sick today but will be shaking my tail feather at a class tomorrow. Thanks mate!

I have hibernated a bit over winter too, but I am trying to get myself back into the swing of things with spring in the air!
ReplyDeleteThis promising weather makes it seem a little easier Deanne. Good luck.

Hi Marnie! Popped into your blog after much too long - I see you're also on a weight loss journey! I'm hoping to lose 20kg in the next 8 months (getting married) so it's lovely finding some inspiration here as well :) Good luck with the rest of your goals - you're looking great! x
