The only problem with all of this is that it hasn't stopped me from eating like a monster. My weight has crept up into the 250s, which is of course an all-time high for me. My engagement ring is uncomfortably tight. Maybe part of it is the anti-depressant I'm taking (which is working well, by the way), but my eating is definitely out of control. My husband has asked me a few times if I'm motivated to lose weight and the answer has been no. Would I like to be healthier? Yes. Would I like to wear my engagement ring comfortably again? Yes. Am I motivated enough to deny my food cravings? Nope.
So, today during R.I.P.P.E.D. class, my trainer said this month they'll be doing essentially a "Biggest Loser" challenge. You pay in $50, top 3 get the cash. They're already up to $600. Okay. This might be the thing I need to get me motivated. Here's what I'm willing to do:
- Commit to eating prepared meals and shakes at least 90% of the week.
- Work out 4-7 times per week between classes and personal workout sessions.
- Limit my snacking to healthy options.
- Limit my indulgences to measured, logged foods.
- Log my food.
- Wear my FitBit again.
- Optional: After daylight savings time, run 3 times per week.
As always, I'm not looking for your advice based on this article you read or this thing you heard. Some support is always welcome. Wish me luck!
