Yikes

So I haven't lose any weight in awhile.  In fact, I may have gained.  I can't remember what my weight was when I last blogged.  I'm not 159.4.  I don't really know what else to do.  I feel like I'm doing everything that I can.  I'm eating right for the most part, with the occasional snack or slip-up which is expected.  I'm mostly eating vegetables and chicken, turkey, or tuna...things that are supposedly "good for me".  Every now and then I'll have a piece of bread or a piece of candy.  I drink tea occasionally, unsweetened.  What else can I do???  I was exercising every day for at least 25 minutes, sometimes up to an hour.  I skipped 4 days of exercise so I'm sure that has something to do with it.  Yesterday was my first day exercising since Monday.  I did my aerobics DVD with weights for an hour.  I'm trying not to get down.  I decided I am bored with what I have been doing.  I just can't run for very long at one time so it's hard to get a lot of use out of my treadmill.  I do use it for walking and jogging...I will walk for 2 or 3 minutes, then jog for 2 or 3, then walk, etc. for up to about 30 minutes switching on and off between the two.  I usually can only do that on the weekends though and my treadmill is in the garage so it's COLD!  Then on weekdays I just do my DVD, which like I said is getting very boring.  I have ordered another DVD and a fitness "game" thing for our XBOX 360 Kinect so I'm hoping that offers some other options....new exercises, stuff like that.  Right now I'm looking into getting an elliptical or a bike so I can alternate that with the other things.

I feel like I'm in a rut.

As of now, it's looking impossible to meet my goal of losing 5 more lbs by February 12th, considering I haven't lost ANY lbs.  I would probably have to starve myself to lose that much in a week.  Guess that means it's time to set a new goal, but I don't really feel like it.  It seems like I keep telling myself I'm going to do something and then it doesn't happen.  I don't know why I can't JUST DO IT.  I guess my will power isn't that strong.  Need to work on that.

I weigh in at work for our weight challenge on Thursday.  I'm guessing that scale will show I have lost maybe 5 or 6 lbs total.  (I lost a few pounds before I weighed in for that challenge, so I have a total weight loss of about 8 lbs, but only about 5 will count for this challenge).  I was up to 9lbs lost, but I guess I gained a lb back during this week.  Bummer.  I'm super happy that I have lost 8 lbs but it really doesn't feel like I've lost any.  That's hard to believe, I thought 8 lbs would be a big deal but I can't feel it in any of my clothes.

Oh well!  I will keep on keeping on and eventually something has to change...
