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.
In October, I focused on my food instead. And despite having a week-long work trip in Washington, D.C., I lost 14.2lbs just focusing on my food!
But then November and December hit. I managed to maintain, which is good. I was going to physical therapy and taking a break from basketball and much of my regular exercise routines.
I thought January would be a reset. New Year, New Me, right? WRONG.
This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to chat with my WeightWatchers® leader, Jocelyn. I shared with her that I’ve been feeling stuck lately. I have really been struggling to get beyond my 95lb milestone.
DAY 6. As we near the end of this Seven Days of Why Challenge, I have to say, it’s been a struggle to find reasons why. Many of the WHY’s I have shared are why’s that got me in the door and I, like some others have shared, am struggling to find the WHY that’s going to help me get to goal. Sometimes I wonder if I would be okay where I’m at. And then, I just know. I’m not.
DAY 5. I want to be able to wear what I want to wear and not be limited in my options. Throughout college and all of my 20’s, I was limited in my selection for clothes. I look at photos and feel like I was stuck with plain, frumpy clothing. There were plenty of stores where I was stuck browsing the accessories. I love that I’m able to pretty much shop anywhere and am even fitting in some of the cute juniors clothing.
