Ugh. It seems that I've been on 'vacation' for quite some time when it comes to the gym and eating good. When I don't feel good, I don't worry about it I guess... and it's been one cold after the other. I find it's a lot more difficult to eat right if I'm not working out too. I hope to go back on Monday, but I'm thinking that I'm not going to take the girls b/c of all this stupid cold and flu stuff going around, so it'll depend on if I can get Aaron to watch them while I go.
Anyway, I weighed myself earlier in the week (and then ate a bunch of crap I shouldn't have) but it was 159.4. That's almost a 5 lb gain and a 7.4 overall gain from June. I suppose it could be worse, but it's so close to 160 that it freaks me out. I really need to get back in the gym. I'm also thinking about ways I can find to be accountable to someone else for my eating and working out - like a personal trainer or something. I'm going to check into it at the gym and see if they do just 'check ins' when it comes to eating and weight. Hmmmm.....

I'm sorry you're not feeling well! I hope you feel better by Monday so you can go to the gym. Being sick is so annoying.
ReplyDeleteWeight Watchers might be another good option for a check in type thing if you want someone to be accountable to. My aunt has had a lot of sucess with them in the last year. I have not idea how expensive they are or if it's even what you want, but it's an idea.
It seems like this has been a terrible cold season already and winter hasn't even started.
ReplyDeleteAs far as thinking this accountability blog would hold you accountable I am with you.
I thought it would be more humiliating for me to post my weight on here and thus motivating me to do better. It turns out once I did it once, it didn't really bother me anymore.
Maybe because we really are all friends it is too easy. And because there are really only three of us doing it now. I think I was better when I knew Carrie and Leasa were signing in and reading our comments. Hmm, what does that say about me? That I am not losing weight for me? I am not sure.
I don't think that it means you're not losing weight for you. I think that it means that it's hard and when you're accountable to someone who actually will hold you accountable, then it's easier. Maybe it's that we're too good of friends to be like "hey! why did you eat that peanut butter? HMMM!?!?!"
ReplyDeleteI also think that it's easier for me to be accountable to someone who isn't going through it - you know, like a personal trainer or someone at a weight loss center - b/c I know that all of us on the blog are going tyo stumble, so in my mind, it's ok if I do b/c you guys probably won't think any less of me b/c you will probably stumble sometime too.
