One week I'm up, next week I'm down, only to go back up again the following week. In the entire time I have been at WW I have lost .4 lbs. Yes, you read that right .4. I am so very, very tired of this. However, on the plus side, I have not gained. Before that I was constantly creeping upward, there was never any downward movement. So I haven't gained in 5 months and that is a huge plus. But I want to lose.
I rode my bike to WW this morning and as I was riding home I was thinking about this subject. As I was riding I also noticed that I am much stronger riding then I was 2 weeks ago. I didn't wear my watch, but I felt like I made the journey in record time today. And I just generally felt stronger. So I started thinking about how every little bit helps me become a better, stronger rider. Even those short, 5 minute, rides to the bus stop in the morning add to my overall fitness and bike riding ability. That lead me to think about my weight loss or lack there of. Every week I say I'm going to do better this week. I'm going to work out, I'm going to track everything I eat, I'm going to avoid desserts...blah, blah...blah....So rather then set up these huge goals, which really aren't that huge but at this point..., I'm going to take it one small step at a time. Build my successes slowly, like I did with bike riding. So one meal at a time will be my mantra for today, and we will see how it goes.
