The Sad Truth

It has happened, the scale has started to creep back up. I am surprised it hasn't happened earlier with the way I have been eating and lounging recently. I probably haven't noticed since my muscle weight has slowing been deteriorating into fat weight, but I can feel the difference now. I knew this would happen since I have been so lazy and the time has come to take action.

I tried "Fat Jill No Mo'" and that didn't work, not that I put much effort into it, but it is time for the new and improved Fat Jill No Mo'. I need to get back in the routine of working out and eating a lot better than I am right now.

This is probably more than any of you wanted to know about my weight problems. But I thought if I let you all in on my awful weight loss plans, I could be aided in creating a new work out regime.

I have let such stupid reason get in the way of working out like: washing my hair that day and not wanting to wash it again, wanting to get home to be with my pseudo family, thinking I will work out when I get home and just sitting there, getting into a book (bad idea!). The list goes on and on and it always seems like there is something better to do than working out. I enjoy working out (once I've started), I feel so much better when I work out, I sleep better when I work out, and I can eat a little more when I work out. There are so many BIGGER and BETTER reasons to working out, but why is it so hard?!?!

If anyone has some brilliant idea of how to fit exercise into your life and stick to it let me know. I've done it before and it was possible, but I don't know why I am having such a hard time getting back to it.

Hawaii is exactly 6 months from tomorrow and I am hoping to use that as my new motivation and goal. Having a deadline and goal seemed to help a lot last time, and what better motivation to lose weight than a trip that you spend most of your time in a swimsuit?

I am open to suggestions and advice, and even a partner in my quest.

Jill, very ironic that you poseted this today. Yesterday I was looking at people's blogs thinking to myself "Geez I hate being the fat ugly sister", and I don't want the guy who likes "bigger" girls, (not that I want a shallow superficial guy), I also want to look good in Hawaii! So I decided that I was going to do something about it! Last night I went running, and am already planning on going again tonight. This morning for breakfast I had strawberries (oh and diet coke, thats a whole didn't plan!). So I'm going to do it this time! I'm losing the weight!

Once I pop this baby out I'm going to start running my belly off and eating better. We can work on it together... although I don't have much like a trip to hawaii to motivate me so I'll have to have a partner to help me out.

I'M IN!!! I have been gaining weight too! I think my body is just used to getting pregnant at this stage, so it is just pretending to be preggo. Ugh. Anyways, I am up for an exercise challense or something. It is easier when you are trying to exercise with a lot of people. Anyways, you and Brooke can come up with it and I will play along. ;)

I already posted this same comment on Brooke's, but first and foremost - I love EVERYTHING about you. You are darling inside and out.

If you all put some weightloss thing together, I'm in. I want to loose some weight before Hawaii. I am having a hard time figuring out when to fit exercise into my schedule as well. In the moring my boobs are about to explode, in the evening I just want to be with Mike, and on and on. I will start first thing tomorrow morning (I think I can finish out the rest of my b-day eating whatever I want).

I am sure you have already heard my opinion before. But it is so much easier for me to workout when I have a race to work towards. I think you should find a 10K race a couple of months away and work towards it. I am always a proponent of racing.
