Not to spoil the surprise but this was a less-than-stellar week. Yeah, I stuck to the diet pretty well, despite two restaurant nights with friends, but all week I had the feeling that the weigh-in wasn't gonna be pretty. And while it wasn't ugly, it wasn't anything near the previous several weeks' results.
Dreading the worst, this morning I hopped on the scale. First it showed I'd lost three pounds, then it showed I'd gained one, then it showed I'd gained two. Clearly the scale was in a mood. So I fired up the Wii Fit and stepped on. The change from last week: I'd gained 2/10 of a pound. Basically no change at all.
Here's what I think the problem is: it's a lack of focus. I know how to eat, but it's the same things all the time. Not that they're bad, but I really think I need variety. More than that, I need to be going to the gym regularly. Not just going, but going with a plan. Everything I'm doing now is pretty mindless and routine. I need to shake it up.
So I got ready and left for work. But not before packing a gym bag. Yup...today I went back to the gym. Believe it or not, the experience wasn't as terrifying as I had expected. Despite all the walking, my time at the gym showed me that I've got a lot of work ahead of me to get in the kind of shape I want to be in. Surprisingly, it wasn't a frustrating realization...it was more of an eye-opener. Mostly I'm just excited because adding a fitness routine to the diet means I'm shaking things up...and when I shake things up, I tend to drop weight. Yay!
Now to come up with a workable gym plan...
