I'm losing weight, but it's a real battle because my body is fighting me all the way.
You see, I've been over 300 pounds for so long, my body has decided that this should be my ideal weight. me and my body need to have a serious chat.
As of today I'm still maintaining my 295.5 pounds, and am further modifying my diet and exercise to compensate for what I like to call Constant Rebellion Against Petiteness, or C.R.A.P. for short. I've been putting up with C.R.A.P. for years, and my body is still full of it. It's time to knuckle down and get rid of this C.R.A.P. and lose some weight, despite my body's protests.
Step one is to walk more. I walked to the gym today, despite feeling tired, despite the rain, and though I might not be able to move by the end of the day, I'm still walking my daughter to school and back. I'll log in a grand total of four miles just for today, and if I survive, I'll do it Friday too.
These big walking days are the days I'll do some back stretches by decluttering the house while sitting- it's amazing just how much paper we toss in a week! Sewing is also a good sit-down activity, so I'll be doing that when my legs get too tired. I won't be sitting the entire time (though right now it's pretty tempting!)- that would defeat the entire purpose of moving more- so dishes and other stand-up chores are also going to be done.
I am going to sleep so well tonight!
As for the menu, I have yet to make one up, so most dinners have been homemade, but tossed together with green vegetables being left out most of the time. This is also something I really need to focus on that's really hard, because I have to find the time to make a menu! I'm still tweaking breakfast and lunch, and so far, so good- I haven't lost, but I haven't gained either. My weight is about the only thing in my life that's consistent at this point!
I'm going to fight the fight, right the wrongs, and get myself thinner! 275, here I come!
