ONE·der·land
ˈwəndərˌland/
noun
- Not to be confused with WONderland, which means a land or place full of wonderful things.
“London was a wonderland of historical sites, museums, theaters, shops, and entertainment” - weighing below 200lbs and having a weight starting in the ONE hundreds.
I can remember hitting 95lbs of weight loss in October 2016. It was right after I learned about Blue Dots with the Weight Watchers® app to help monitor a healthy range of points to be eaten daily. I had gone to Washington, D.C. for a week for work, too. Yet, I had still lost and hit this milestone weight loss of 95lbs. I could feel being down 100lbs on my fingertips, which would have been 202lbs. The much-coveted “ONEderland”—being below 200lbs and officially in the 100’s—awaited me right after.
Wishful thinking.
I recently received this question through my website: Have you ever lost motivation and, if so, how did you get it back?
For the last few months, I’ve felt stuck in my weight loss journey. I think it all started in September when I got injured after the Disney Half Marathon (which was followed by Conquer the Bridge and then a basketball tournament in Las Vegas). I was diagnosed with tendinosis (chronic tendinitis) in my right leg. An injury I got from a lack of proper and consistent training for my significant activities in September and general overuse.
I heard on the radio that weight loss is the #1 New Year’s resolution that most people make but that only 8% of people actually achieve their weight loss resolutions. I would also be curious how many people sustain that weight loss beyond that given year. My guess from what I know and from my past experience is that not very many sustain it.
