Day 2 of my first ever Dietbet.
Not sure how it all works really, but seems like great motivation to actually reach my goals this time.
Am back on the wagon and trying to lose the 30 pounds I regained over the past one & half years.
Very frustrating to be back up at my all time highest weight, but have lost 3 pounds in the past week....1.8 since this dietbet started yesterday. Which is mostly water weight I am sure.
The really frustrating part is that I "know" how to lose the weight - it's just the willpower to do so is always getting in my way! ARGH!!!
After seeing a nutritionist and spending lots of $$ - she taught me the right things to eat for my body, and I know it works because I lost 30 pounds doing it! Not entirely sure what my problem is and why I can't wrap my brain aroud making the right choices....I know what food works for me and what doesn't.
Have started walking again - hard to believe 1 year ago right now I was training to run a 5k. I am so far away from running even 1k right now that it is a bit of a slap in the face. Why did I let myself fall off the wagon?? DUH!!!!
Really hoping to get back down to a more comfortable weight and get back to running. The downside of re-gaining all this weight is the pain it has created in my feet. It really makes walking hard, but I am doing it. Am aiming to get back to running very soon. The 5k is at the end of May - maybe I'll be ready to do it again. It sure would be nice.
For now - am re-focused on eating regularly, not skipping my healthy snacks to get my metabolism back into balance and making good meal choices. Remembering what works for me and what doesn't and also getting back to moving!
