A friend that I grew up with gave me a quote that resonated with me: The miracle isn't that I finished, but that I had the courage to start at all. While this does resonate with me, it brings up many questions for me as well. If starting is courageous, then I have tons of courage having started down this path many a time. What does it take to stay the course?
I get so discouraged, but I forget to really look at things. I have been working since January and have lost 15 lbs. It isn't a huge amount...averages out to about 2 lbs. per month. Plus I have been plateued for several weeks, so again it feels as though I am not making any progress. I walk a minimum of 20 minutes per day, more most days. All of this is good work! Now to find the staying power to keep going.
I get so tired, feeling like I am putting my all in to things. I am a hamster on a wheel...going round and round, but I stay fat. I am getting married next August and I would like to be down at or below 200 lbs. I want Kat to look at me in the tux I am planning on wearing and see the real me, not the fat me.
Successes: I walked 40 minutes at lunch today
Barriers: I am very hungry today, I'm tired, grumpy
