Again.
As much as I don't want to bethis heavy try as I might, I am having a devil of a time pulling together a string of successes; caloric intake, consistent and meaningful movement.
Hence, heavy remains. And in recent weeks, inching ever so toward -ier.
As I've been where I am before I know what to do. I am just, as I said, struggling with sticking to a routine and making the routine stick.
'Tis critical, this heavier thing. My blood pressure is higher My knees are achier. My clothes are tighter.
Massive
Critical.
Five years ago I had the Shrinking Piggies to help me work through my weightiness. This time around, to be brutally honest, I hold little confidence that participation in that group, fantastic as those folks were, would yield much in the way of positive results.
But, something must be done.
Now. Consistently. For heavier, this much heavier is not the place to be. Ever. Again.
Oh this is such a hard place to be. So much helps us to gain, and so little helps us to lose weight. good luck and I hope you find something that works for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have some things in mind.
DeleteI'm there too. It's frustrating. What's especially frustrating is that we know ALL THE STUFF about keeping the weight down, we just don't always do it. And, as soon as our determination flickers, even for an instant, it all comes back. Oh, sure it takes a few months, but it's not very long before the pants are uncomfortably tight.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
Let me know how that goes for you... cuz I am right there too!
slow and steady. one day one step. d-i-s-c-i-p-l-i-n-e.
Deleteyes, i shall.
Weight has never been much of as issue for me, although it is for my partner. Generally, I think like any habit (for me it was quitting smoking) it's not going to happen until you are ready to make it happen. Unless you are truly ready, it is hard to succeed. How to get to that point of readiness? I have no idea.
ReplyDeleteBut when you do start, I will be happy to be a cheerleader for you!

DeleteWith all the false starts this year it is clear I haven't been ready.That said, I feel closer to ready than at any of those other times. I'm through day eleven of this month and I have only had one bag of chips. the goal is to go 0 for 30. If I can conquer chps, well. . . that is huge.
DeleteRah Rah Rahs Very Welcomed!!!
Can you see me with my pompoms? I am cheering 11 days!
DeleteI saw a quote from a man that said something like "I didn't lose 200 pounds. I lost 1 pound, 200 times."
Baby steps.
I DO see you with your pompoms!!! Thank you.
DeleteLove the quote. Thank you, again. :-)
Indeed. Baby.
I hear you, especially when you write that you know what you must do. I'm in the same place, and I keep making poor choices. Sending good thoughts to your efforts.
ReplyDeleteReceived. Appreciated.
DeleteSo...this. It is my one frustration that I have challenges accepting.Most of the last year was spent i changing how we eat. At this point we are mostly eating fresh, whole food...mostly. In January, I started a yoga program that should have been the nudge I needed, to zero result with the scale...three months of frustrating...since then, I have tried to do a modified sun salutation (one that my fat ass can actually do) and whatever pose or two pops into my brain...I have been about 50% successful in finding consistency. I also gave mself permission to eat anything, but the richer it is or the more it makes me deliriously happy,l the less of it I eat...reading your post, I just decided no more pepsi in the house through the end of the year...curious to see what a small change will do...
ReplyDeleteI meant to include in the above, that after giving up the yoga and trying less hard, somehow I lost 15 pounds in the last few months...It has been a long time since I have been under 300 (omg yes, I just said it, and barely under but I am claiming it!) and the only thing I can attribute it to is eating only if I am truly hungry and keeping my mind on quantity/portion control (letting less be more)...how do we create a support circle with each other? Our own version of SP or WW?
I ♥ you much Maxine! I have decided a few things in the past several days. Beyond the avoidance of potato chips--oh, how I ♥ chips--other adjustments moving toward...well, moving. How do we indeed? I think we've just begun. Welcome to Wednesday. ;-)
DeleteSo I posted this and then immediately forgot about it...and some Pepsi arrived with the last groceries...I will once again say no more and see if it sticks...all we can do is keep trying and focusing on defining what is healthy for us...
Delete. . . what is healthy for us. Yes!!
DeleteFirst, thanks for stopping by over at my place. =)
ReplyDeleteSecond, I'm right there with ya, Sista! I've been struggling with the same issue for almost a year now. You are so right - we KNOW what to do, it's a matter of just DOING it. :-/
You're welcome and returning the thanks. :-)
DeleteNot as easy as Nike asserts.
