Another Week....Another Pound

So...I am starting to think that I actually need to get my lazy, food loathing, butt in gear and actually stick to what I should be sticking to!  My weight loss is averaging 1lb per week for the second week in a row! This is not Operation Moody Hotness (OMH)...this is Operation Lose Weight As Slow As Physically Possible and Frustrate Lindsay Until She Caves In and Just Eats the Dang Cheesecake (OLWASAPPAFLUSCIAJETDC)!!!! I think for the sake of the name of my blog and piffiness, I need to get my program back on track! Otherwise I will spend all of my time listing out a bunch of letters that when said all together, translates into "Lindsay, EAT what your supposed to and RUN on the dang treadmill!" in Klingon!!  

The good news...I am still losing weight.  The bad news...it is 1 stinking pound!!! I should be losing more at my current weight.  Granted I am building muscle, but not enough to explain my snail speed loss.  I work out hard, but my eating...well....ya....about that!  This only goes to show you that gym time is absolutely pointless if you aren't eating the right foods, enough food, or too much food.  I am learning this the insanely slow, hard way!  Granted, the insanely slow, hard way is the way I learn best.  Some learn by reading, some learn by watching, and some learn by doing...Well I learn by all three! First, I read about the right way to do something. Then I watch someone else succeed by following the principles that I just read about. Finally, I learn by doing the exact opposite of what I learned from reading and watching, thus suffering the consequences of the lessons learned yet ignored! Then, and only then, do I seem to have let the information sink in and I can duplicate the desired behavior!  While this is a fine-tuned, process that I have perfected over the past 26 years, I am finding it to be a little more than problematic in my weight loss journey.  Especially that now, in my old age, it is getting more and more difficult to have lessons sink in.  It takes more time to teach this old dog new tricks! I don't eat enough, then I justify eating bad foods with, "Well...I only ate 300 calories today, so I guess that it is ok to shove 2000 calories into my mouth at 9 p.m."  I am not an expert or anything...but I am pretty sure this is contributing to my current plight of 1 pound per week.  But then again, I am not an expert! 

So...tomorrow is Sunday. Tomorrow is another day to succeed at eating enough during the day and not going to bed with visions of cheesecake, fries, chocolate fudge sundaes, junior bacon cheeseburgers, and cookies dancing around my head! Wish me luck because just making that list about tempted me to engage in the undesired behaviors! Let's just all be thankful the Dairy Queen doesn't deliver!!!
