So, I have probably gained back about 10 of the pounds that I lost. I was doing really well maintaining the weight loss until Thanksgiving rolled around.
Really, though the gaining some of the weight back is not the bad thing really. It is disappointing, but the more important question is why I quit losing weight in the first place. This weight loss thing is a whole lot simplier than most people thing it is. I quit working out. I ate fairly healthy until November rolled around... Exercising and eating right...
- I never truly reestablished routines once school started again. That was just laziness on my part.
- I kind of suffered a bit of an identity crisis towards the end of summer. I looked completely different. Looking in the mirror was a new experience every single day. It became a bit overwhelming to not recognize the person in the mirror.
- I did not get to hike Timpanogos because of the snow conditions and I had really invested a lot of my motivation into that goal. I focused all of my energy on that goal and then when circumstances did not allow for it to happen it was a bit devastating.
How I resolve to solve some of the above problems:
- I made a new excel tracker.
- I bought a new pedometer.
- I made a new schedule.
- I have set new goals. (I want to be able to run a 10k by the end of June. I want to be able to do a half marathon by next December. I want to be in my "healthy" weight range by the end of June (that's about 50 pounds to go.)
