It has been almost 3 weeks since I have written anything. I have hit a point in weight loss that I am finding very difficult to get beyond. I eat right and exercise and still nothing. I am stuck at 185 pounds. I am trying to change a few things to see if it helps at all. No matter what I am not quitting.
1) I have always weighed myself using Wii Fit to help track my weight better. Seeing on a graph in front of me helps me visualize where I am and to see how my weight is fluctuating. I really hate the way Wii Fit is so hard on a person though. I despise the little comments that pop up. “You need to weigh yourself every day!” If it is normal for my weight to change 2 pounds in a given day, which is normal for everyone according to Wii, I don’t need to see that flashed on a screen! I hate the way Wii does not take into account water weight gain for women! If the comments that the Wii makes don’t depress you then the “OHHHH!” when you step on the balance board will! Geeze Wii makers, be a little more positive about people trying to loose weight!
2) I am measuring out my morning cereal rather than trying to eyeball the amount I am pouring. Most servings of cereal will fit in a ramekin; you know the little small glass dishes that come in the sets that everyone rarely uses. We are the strange people, we use those often especially for serving ice cream in a more reasonable quantity.
3) I started using run keeper to help track my distance/time progress. I was told by a doctor I had the lungs of a runner. I told him that I should have taken their body instead! I only started run keeper today but I added the last 3 days worth of workouts to it. It is not just for runners. It tracks all sorts of activities so it’s name is a little deceiving. I want to be able to work to be able to completely run a 5k. I don’t care if I finish last as long as I am still running in the end.
4) I added lifting 5 pound weights to my daily workout. I don't like the look of my arms. They are too flabby and I want to tone them up. I am not interested in lifting large amounts of weight. I just want to tone up what is there and hopefully loose some weight off of them.
This week I am running a quarter mile and then walking a quarter mile. I use to run a few years ago but I quit for several reasons none which were good ones. I am wanting to build up my distance and endurance and get better with my time. All in time.
I am hoping that these changes will get me beyond this point. What tricks do you find works to get you beyond a weight loss lull?
