This is the reality of my journey. From fat to fit and everything in between.

Fat Me
So, yeah. I'm fat. Does being fat also make a person lazy? In a way, yes. It does. I struggle to keep my self active. My mind has a lot more success in coming up with tasks to fill me day. Goals to accomplish and things to complete. It is my body that has a difficult time keeping up with the work my mind creates. But, does this make me lazy? I don't consider myself a lazy person, but I do think that if I were more fit, I may have more energy. Get it? I just usually think of more things to do than I actually do. I hate this about me. I want to do more. I want to not consider myself lazy.

Up and Down
Down two pounds last week, up three and a half pounds this week. Sadly, this comes as no big surprise since I have been a human garbage can for food consumption, especially cookies and holiday treats. I am going the route of homemade Christmas gifts this year, and I am cursed to try every cookie and treat I make. I know I don't have to do this, but somehow I can't help myself. My self control mocks me at every bite.
I know my goals. I know where I want to be and what I don't want to be. Fat! Being fat is so much more than bad eating habits. What about Christmas brings about the complete lack of discression?
Starting December 26th, we're starting a boot camp for our family. It will last six weeks. We did this two years ago and it was the start to a 40 pound weight loss. Let's hope whatever I lose this time, stays off!

2 pounds
Well, I weighed in this morning. I only weigh in once a week and it is on Friday mornings. I almost forgot, which is weird since I was so excited to weigh in last night. I've been sick the past two weeks and haven't done much in way of exercising. I've tried to stay more active and watch my food portions, and the scale did move in the right direction - down. It's just not a great number. 2 pounds. I'm ok with that given the amount of effort I put into it this week. I wish it were more, but really, it is a loss. I'm starting to feel better, health wise. I still have a lot of chest congestion and cough like crazy over any exertion of energy, but this will pass. I did very well on my eating this past week. Well, my husband brought home some ice cream which I did indulge in. After eating salads most of the week, I figured I could indulge. Who knows? Maybe not having the ice cream would have given me three pounds this week instead of two. Oh well. I'm a work in progress. I hope this coming week is a bit better, though I fear until the holidays are over, it may be 2 pounds here, two pounds there. I'm living life and for once, that is ok with me. There will always be things in life that I am struggling with, so this month it is the holidays and all the joy (and food) that surrounds them. Until next week. :)
