So here we go again.... After not blogging for 3 years, I'm ready to try again and blog about weight loss. But wait (yeah see what I did there).... I haven't lost any weight in a long while... like 18 months. In fact, I've managed to gain 50 pounds since Aug 2013. 2014 was a fat year. Injuries, stress and mild depression have taken their toll. Not to mention turning the big 50. I need to make some big changes to get back to my happy weight. Anything under 210 puts me back in all my clothes, feeling and looking like myself.
Yeah... so maybe I need to reinvent a few things. Or at the very least make some big changes to support a more healthy lifestyle. Diet wise, I'm thinking about doing medifast for 3 weeks again. That seemed to kick start me back in 2011 and I did manage to get down to 208 and stay at that weight for nearly 2 years pretty easily. It should help keep my calories low enough that I can lose with limited exercise, as injuries, arthritis and other painful ailments are again keeping me from some kick ass workouts. I'm pretty much limited to exercise bike and Pilates or yoga. Most importantly, I need to work on my head. Negative self talk is way out of control and I know I've got to knock it to the curb.
I still have some fight left in me. I'm not ready to throw in the towel and accept where I'm at weight wise as good enough. I've got to make an appointment with my surgeon to see if I can get more fill in my band and I need to order medifast shakes. Two steps in the right direction.
