What do you do when your motivation meter is sitting at 0? You read blogs! I am so inspired by all of you. Normally January is a huge weight-loss month for me and I've already let too much of it go by without doing a cotton-picking thing.
I can't expect the number on the scale to move if I am not willing to put in the effort can I?
Last night I spoke to a long-time friend who I seemed to have forgotten has this blog address and he told me how he has noticed a huge shift in my attitude since I've been on Pr0zac. Of course he said it has been a good thing.
I think he is right. I am less obsessed about my weight and my depression seems to be dissipating. But I also have noticed I can't seem to get fired up like I could in the past either. I don't know if I can attribute that to the drugs or not though.
So what can I do?
The beautiful LMS has offered to send me the spreadsheet of "no count" foods the new WW program is offering to help me get started. I am also going to go through some of my slimming, shape, and other mags to get food ideas before I go do my shopping for the week. This week needs to be different. I need to eat a bigger variety of foods. There is nothing wrong with high-fiber cereal for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch and meat and vege for dinner, but eating like that every single day gets very boring and of course I start to veer off the beaten path quickly.
Also exercise has been non-existent. If I don't make a plan I just won't do it. I think this week I will start out slowly again and have a goal to walk 20-30 minutes 3 times this week. It is a start.
I'm going to make up a weight chart for myself and put it up in our office. I am moving my weigh-in day to Monday mornings to encourage me to be better on weekends.
And now I plan to redesign this page. I need a new look to inspire myself.
