EPIC FAIL??

 

I am incredibly frustrated.  I am almost 45 days into this journey and I still haven't been able to loose ANY weight? Since I weigh well over 200 lbs. the initial 10lbs should be easy.  I got so frustrated that I gave in.  I went on a 10 eat whatever I want kind of binge.  Guess what...I didn't gain any weight.  Not that I was trying but I find it interesting that it doesn't seem to matter what I am eating I am still weighing the same no matter what.

The other day I was speaking with my friend Angie and she is going low carb (eating 100 grams of protein a day) and is already losing weight.  So I think...Hmmm, I am already pretty much Paleo why not go low carb and see what happens.  So I started on Tuesday. I can't say I'm eating Paleo since I have had a little dairy here and there but I am low carbing it (still eating the best quality food I can afford).  So 5 days in....zip nadda.  Not an ounce. I am retaining fluid.  Maybe not drinking enough water?? Maybe Aunt Flow is to close??  I don't know what the F#$K is going on but I am going to stick with this for the rest of the month to see what happens.  I joined a local gym too. I will check in later this month to let you know how I am doing.

GETTIN' BACK ON TRACK

Ok.  So I have been off track for the past couple of days.  I don't think I did too much damage. However the fact remains that I didn't make any progress.  I almost slid into the "why bother" or as my good friend Nancy likes to call it "fuck it mode" mindset again. I have it admit that I am finding it hard to stay motivated.  After all it's been a whole month now and I haven't made anyprogress.  So with that said I need to re-think a few things.

1. I am going to simplify my eating plan.  Only meals with a few ingredients and I need to prepare 90% of it myself.  Clearly I must be doing something wrong?? 

2. Go to the Dr. and get my thyroid and hormones checked out.  Could be something wrong there.

3. I joined a gym.  Back to LA Fitness I go.  This should help take some of those excuses off of the table.  Like it's too hot to work out when it 100 degrees out. 

 

 

BTW... Kudos to those committed people I see jogging in the middle of the afternoon in the sweltering heat.  I don't know how you do it but I am envious of your commitment!!

I am another month closer to hitting that landmark birthday but yet no closer to my goal.  I sit here still committed and today I will begin this journey as if today is the first day. I am going to put all of my mistakes behind me.
