Well, here I am again - nearly 90 days without a weigh in and 7lbs heavier. While this is a bummer, I know how I got here. A cycle of bingeing and not eating right.
I start offed this post as a sob story, but I am not ending it as one, as I have a new tool in my arsenal that I've never used before, not even when I lost 20+ lbs for my wedding. I have a gym membership. I don't think I count as a resolutioner as I've been resolving to lose weight for years but have never been in the most correct mindset. Diet for a few days or weeks, then lose all resolve has been the name of my game for months and years. But we did sign up for a gym membership last Friday, and we decided to start this past Tuesday (not Monday, this oh-so-fun polar vortex)... and even though we've only gone two days, I can feel that this is it. I've never been a gym person. I don't know if I ever will be a "gym person". But I have to pass it coming home every day from work, at the same time, everyday. And every work day, I plan to stop there, rest on weekends. It's a comfortable setting, my husband goes too, and I can already feel muscles that I haven't felt in years that are sore, but sore is good. So chalk me up as "this time." This time I have all the tools to do it, the only thing standing in my way is me, and that's not happening this time!
