It's been a tough weekend. I've done well with exercising, but my diet has had some issues. It's back to being the regular week, though. It's easier to keep on schedule with my diet during the week. I didn't get my new tea over the weekend. But, I have enough to last me through the week, and then I still have some bags of green tea if I don't go next weekend.
I feel like I'm stagnating regarding fitness. My motivation to continue this process has been waning. I'm not really sure what I'm gaining from it. What is my extra strength and endurance really getting me? I'm at a size where most of my work clothes are too big, so they're uncomfortable. I have clothes from years ago, but they're not really the image I'm going for at work. Also, my fitness level is not really enabling me to do better in my activities. Plus, I've been sick the past few weeks, so exercising did not make me immune to that. I'm wondering how fitness is really benefiting me in regards to my life goals.
I'm considering taking a trapeze class. I need to decide soon, though, because it starts either next week or the week after - if there are even any spots left. With the trapeze class, my fitness level is what will allow me to be able to do better tricks and such. Also, the 14-week class would culminate in a performance. So, that would be cool.

Snack: Fudge Bar (35)
Total: 1350

Joanna, you are doing great!! Sure, you may not have the same need as I or Tyree to get fit, but its still a good and positive thing. Really, more than diet, the fitness part is what's probably best for you. You've always done well as far as eating goes, and you really don't need to lose the weight like we do. Improving your overall fitness level however is always a good thing.. and exercise is great for improving your mood, and making sure you stay healthy in the long term (ie. Cholesterol, Diabetes, Heart Disease, etc.) Sure, you'll still get sick from time to time, but overall, you'll definitely be better off for it. We all have ups and downs, I've been going through one myself, but we just need to push through them!! Since day one, I've had a goal with my diet, though I haven't heard yours... do you have somewhere you want to go with this? Is there a certain weight you want to get to? If you are just dieting and exercising to see where you go, that's going to take some of the enjoyment out of it. In one year, I'm going to be able to do normal sized people things... ride a rollercoaster.. fit in an airplane seat and be moderately comfortable (yes, even normal people sometimes have to squeeze in)... sit in a theater and not have to worry about encroaching in on someone else's space. I've got lots of reason, and that keeps my motivation pretty high. Also, seeing the progress I've made, I'm so happy and proud of.. there's no way I want ANYTHING to ruin it! My biggest problem is overdoing it... eating too little... pushing myself too hard... just in order to get that extra inch of progress in. In the end, doing things like that are only going to cost me.
Anyway, just figure out what you want out of this and go for it! Do you want to run a marathon? Do you want to increase your flexibility? Do you want to just keep in shape? Figure out where you want to go, and aim in that direction!
