When I finish reading everyone's blogs (which I pretty much do everyday) and it is time for me to do my blog update I just seem to be at a loss lately. I'm not doing well with losing, actually I still haven't lost. Just maintained since July. Yep. since July. I've had 3 fills since September, December 14th is going to be my next one. Please please send me positive vibes on this one, the last three have made zero difference! I really need the help of my band... obviously! Anywho- I am trying to get moving in the right direction again, baby steps, a little at a time.
I attended my monthly support group meeting last week and one of the ladies who always attends is a bypass patient- she has done fabulous with her losses but she has also plateaued for a little while not 5 months like me, but anyway we decided to do a little competition to get going again. We have challenged eachother to be the "First to lose 40" we both want to lose 40 lbs to get to goal (or pretty close anyway). I'll keep you all posted on how that goes.
I am a little nervous about doing the triathalon in August, I have plenty of time to train, but it is something I have never done so I'm not sure what to expect. I'm sure I'll be fine, especially since two of my favorite people that I work with are doing it as well.
I had a lot of fun this weekend hanging out with my sister for her birthday. I have some photos on my phone that I will post soon.
I guess that is about it for my update, I'll try to think of something funny or fun to say for my next post...
Bullshit and Some Truth
7 years ago
I know how hard it is to post when the weight is not coming off. For me, sometimes it's hard to read blogs as well. I want to be happy for everybody, but sometimes jealousy takes over. I'm definitely not a superstar where weight loss is concerned and have been on a month long plateau to boot. I don't want to get back in the dieting frame of mind by tracking what I eat, but I guess if exercise doesn't help and my next fill on 12/14 doesn't help, that will be the next step. Maybe it's a good sign that we are both getting fills on 12/14! I hope so for both our sakes.
ReplyDeleteMaintaining is not a bad thing. Keep your head up! Let me know if you want to get together on the trail or somehting. My schedule is tight but I will certainly make time to go for a walk/bike ride/etc. on the trail for you! Not to mention Trevor would LOVE to ride his bike on the trail too! We love you and you can do this!
ReplyDeleteGirl, I have been plateaued for almost 2 years...Well, it was 1 year then I broke my weight and gained, but still. It is challenging, but like you said, maintaining is not bad at all! :)
ReplyDeleteI was plateaued for a year and it was so frustrating, especially seeing everyone else pass me up, but just keep looking for that thing you can do to shake things up. Switch up your exercise routine, wear a pedometer and shoot for 10,000 steps or log your food...it can make a world of difference! :)
Sorry, I feel your pain! My plateau has been even longer, fills and all. Looks like we really need to get on this...somehow! I'm going to try tracking food again for a while, and upping exercise. Good luck and keep blogging no matter what!
