Essentially this week I lost the weight I put on last week during Thanksgiving week. A year ago I would have called losing four pounds a major victory; these days it’s pretty disappointing, actually. The more disappointing news is that although I am halfway through my two month diet plan, I am not halfway to my already aggressive overall weightloss goal. This means one of two things; either I’ll have to be even more aggressive (not a good idea at this point; I’m already pushing my limits), or forget about the goal and be happy with any weight loss achieved. <\/p>\n

I knew losing weight during the winter Holiday months would be a challenge, which is why I decided to attack it head on. So far I’ve had two big obstacles I’ve yet to overcome. One is “social eating” and the other is not walking because it’s cold. I tried the treadmill over the weekend and I hated it; still, it beats either of the alternatives (not walking, or walking in the cold). <\/p>\n

My overall plan works really well during the week — I eat Egg Beaters for breakfast, with some sort of frozen diet entree for either lunch or dinner, sometimes both. I walk at least once a day, sometimes twice. Unfortunately the plan falls apart on the weekends, where without scheduled times to eat or exercise, I fall into my old habits of eating while I’m bored and sitting on the computer all day instead of moving. Also, during the week I walk either during work, or after the kids have gone to bed. On the weekend it’s not as easy to get that free time.<\/p>\n

Time to kick it in gear and see what I can do this week. It ain’t over yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
