Ok so i’m typing this during the super bowl. I’ve been kind of spinning my wheels on my weight loss for a couple months now and I really would like to re-kickstart it a little bit. So I think I’m going to try something atleast for the rest of February. I think the lowest weight I’ve gotten to is 275lbs which down from my high in 2017 of 443 is obviously a big improvement. But since Thanksgiving, I’ve basically vascillated between 277 and 281 on given days. This morning was 280. I’ve been really sticking to my exercise plan very well but I’ve been starting to eat much more poorly again. I’m not eating huge amounts, just eating too many sweets. I think in my mind i’m content with where I’m at in my weight loss and despite all the hard workouts I’m putting in, i’m just spinning my tires. Which I think i’ve been fine with. 

So for the next 18 days I’m going to try and really tighten things up. The big changes I’m going to shoot for is no sweets/desserts. As a whole I feel like my meals have remained pretty good. It’s just that I’ve been snacking far too much on non work days with stuff like peanut butter, protein bars (sugar!) and stuff like that. And I’ve been having dessert after dinner far too frequently. When I’ve lost weight it was just cause i cut all that stuff out. At some point I have to learn to just do desserts in moderation or just small/better desserts like a popsicle instead of a piece of pie or cake.

Also going to try to increase my water intake. Water is usually the only beverage I drink but I think i’ve been not drinking enough and that’s allowing me room to put more food. 

I’ve been very happy with my exercise routine recently and am going to try and continue with that. Yoga 3x per week, walks atleast 4-5 nights a week, and 2 days a week of weight lifting. Mostly I think i just want some accountability to help motivate me to get back on track.
