You've showed us all you can accomplishment what your mind is set on, so just set it on this new challenge.

Weight would peel off, then plateau, then peel, then plateau, but as I lost more the peeling was smaller. It was always when something big changed - more running, less snacking, less breastfeeding (not that you can do the latter). <BR/><BR/>Maybe a different diet? Different program? At the very least, it will be a new puzzle.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02864909952004392637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-53542518809757809732008-12-02T11:32:00.000-07:002008-12-02T11:32:00.000-07:00I am so with you.

Maybe you splurge on that yoga studio you have always wanted to attend, or get tennis lessons that you have always wanted. What about a new pair of fancy gym shoes or $20 worth of great new songs for your MP3 player? Or you can get the organic produce delivery (do you have that in DC?). We did the latter and the new variety that came on our doorstep inspired us to try new things and to eat way more veggies. I think we all know that you can do this!

I think my issue though is that I focus mostly on eating and no so much exercise. I mean to join the Y all the time but actually getting myself there and joining just doent really happen. Ive taken on mommy daisy's challenge to just move an extra 15 minutes a day and it is fun because it is completely doable and Im finding fun ways to do it (dancing with the kids, boxing on the wii, running up and down the stairs). I think that when you start to feel discouraged its time to change things somehow. There was a suggestion above about adding another project to your eating like locally grown foods. That is such a great idea! Also I think that if you were to focus on maybe the exercise part and try a few different things for the next few months to see what you might like, you might feel a new excitement about the whole thing. Good luck with it all!

Don't lose sight of how much you've accomplished already, and the fact that this is a life-long project you've undertaken. That said, I'm a wandering fool, and any time you'd like to set a date to wander around the city with me, walking until our feet fall off, on some Sunday, just give me a call. There are so many fun neighborhoods I still want to discover, and they're much more fun on foot. Have you been up to Takoma Park? Its just like Noho. AND there's a crazy-hippy-healthy cafe kind of like Haymarket. You in?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
