NowIunderstand's Journal, 31 July 2014

I feel my determination waning...I don't know why.

I need to have a loss to be encouraged to keep it up.

I've been thinking about weighing myself every day. The thought being that if you weigh yourself daily it's like a renewed commitment every day.

But is it like the stocks in the stock market.. you shouldn't look at them every day, the fluctuations can drive you nuts.

Funny things about graphs. In my life, the stock graph went down, while to weight graph went up. They never go the way you want them to.

I wonder how I can keep my drive.

right now, i'll content myself to just go through the motions of doing what I'm suppose to do. But I've lost my enthusiasm, and that's never good when you've got a goal.

the visualization that C64XXX recommends is a good project. But I have a lot of good projects that I don't have the time for.

My problem is and always has been low energy. My inbox is never completely empty and meanwhile, I'm always looking to take a nap.

Except now, after the pool, at 10pm at night...!

In the mornings I could go to the pool but I'm too tired to get up that early, and when I do, I spend my day tired, and at nights after the pool I'm too awake to get a good night's sleep afterwards.

And in the afternoon, well, I work...

Anyway, I'll find my way in life, before I'm 100 years old, I hope.


Good Night to all.

If you know that you are sticking to your original plan to lose the weight, then don't worry about the scale. Your body is an amazing apparatus and it has to adjust to your new way of eating. Relax, it is time I introduced you to "ENDURANCE." While we don't like what we see as numbers, we have to remember "Patience" will make us sabotage ourselves. Stay strong, get a good night's sleep. It's all going to pan out.

I would recommend that you log in your diet log every bite you take and not go over your RDI. I see that you haven't been doing that. It takes a lot of work to lose weight and just a few days of carefree eating will set you back and you'll just be maintaining. I exercise even when I'm sleepy because I know that the exercise will wake me up. You can do some calisthenics at home when you take a break from your desk job. Good luck.

I struggle with finding this kind of balance too. Are you a Libra? the symbol for us Libras is the SCALES. We like everything to be all level at the same time. Seems we get one part of our life on the even keel - the another part of out of whack. Lots of water, a fair amount of protein, my estrogen replacement therapy, and the enzyme Sam E help with energy levels for me. Just a thought. We are about the same age, right?

Yep. You are 52. I am 57. I am typing this comment at 3:22 am because sometimes I wake up and simply can not go back to sleep. That's a "menopausal" something a lady in her fifties understands. Take care, my dear!

I felt that too yesterday ... I didn't go over RDI but I felt too full like I"d over eaten. I won't step on the scale because I am trying to NOT live by the numbers and be slave to the appliance... I want that same balance in my life. I keep trying to recall what motivated me in the past, knowing that it will need to return but with a different focus for maintenance than loss. If you find it, please do share. We can all use a little spark of inspiration now and then.
