Day 247: Hmmm.. How about the gym…?
So I’ve really been thinking of picking up a Gym membership…… The scale won’t budge…… I am 25lbs behind goals and have about 50 pounds I still want to loose…. I really want something to jump start everything back in to gear.
My eating has not changed, I do fairly well at staying around 1200 calories. The working out goes back and forth, I work out daily at times and other times i just let it go for a few days.. With a Gym membership I would have to go or would be wasting my $$.. It would also be a little fun too with the variety of machines and stuff ( now that I’m finally at “decent” size where I am not too embarrassed of others seeing me! ) The hardest part would be making time to go, there is not one where I live so I’m looking at having to include drive times….
Anyways.. I’m not sure what to do.. I need to keep loosing weight! I started in November 2008 and before I know it will have been a whole a year and I still not at goal! Ughh.. If I dont start loosing this weight I feel myself slowly slipping and getting in to the “ What does it matter anyways? I might as well eat the donut- I don’t loose weight anyways! “ and thats bad bad news when it happens and I have found myself going there a few times recently.. I just get so unmotivated when the scale won’t move on days when I try so super hard!
Any suggestions on a weightloss boost? Colon cleanse posted all over the web…? Some super fruit or…? A good weightloss program….? No energy pill suggestions please… And I can’t do fasting, never works.. I get a really bad headache and wind up eating more the 1st night than I would have on a normal diet! I need some motivation and some ideas… anyone please.. The scale won’t budge…. Pineapple Pizza and sugar frosted cookies are calling my name and I dont see what the diff is if I just eat them or don’t!! ………!
Gym…….hmmmm……….. would I really go….? Or………..?
look how far you come. Do not give into what your mind is feeding you. I so get you. I am there with you. Scale is not budging. My suggestion to you is this. eat 1200 calories one day 1600 another back to 1200 so forth switch it up…keep your body guessing.
Are you drinking water?
Enough of it?
Switch your workout routine. Maybe go swimming one day biking another runner yet another..
Do circuit training at home.
As for the gym. if you feel like you will go and have the time go for it..
Walking is REALLY good exercise. I just read in a magazine that interval walking is REALLY good for fat burning. It was in Ladies Home Journal here at my Grandma’s. I think it is the current issue. Maybe u could pick one up or google interval walking? Get some weights, strap them on ur ankles and get to walking ! I have my five pound losing weeks when I walk religiously ! Ur NOT gonna give up! We began this journey at the same time together and we R both GOING to follow thru ! U CAN AND WILL do it ~~~
About the gym I would say get the membership if you are really going to put in the effort to make it there. It is so easy to go in the beginning when you are pumped and motivated and then all of a sudden just start making donations to the gym by not going. I think I get to make it to the gym now 1/3 of the days in a month. I love it though! We continue paying because when I do make it I get the best workouts in. Great job with the progress thus far. Don’t give up! Kerstin’s idea is great because switching it up really does boost your body and keeps it guessing.
