Man, this personal development stuff is hard. I've chosen to change tactics a bit because I see there are some "self" things that are holding me back. Some trust issues, self-esteem issues, stress management issues, etc. I've always felt (and have seen in others) that loosing weight is only a part of it. If you look down on yourself when you're overweight, you'll still look down on yourself when you get skinny unless you correct your mind set.

I've been working on the stress management stuff for a while and am feeling that it's time to shift to the trust issues. This is trust of self and my ability to do my job well, and trusting that I am able to work effectively with others without allowing myself to be taken advantage of.

Along with this (in conjunction perhaps) I have chosen to join a Summer Shred Challenge in town. I know the young lady who is running it and I admire her accomplishments and enthusiasm. However, I don't quite trust her. I have no reason to NOT trust her, though. So, I'm putting myself into "the fire" and am not only working on health and fat loss but also working on this trust issue.

I may not "shred" much but if I can make a dent in my body fat over the next 12 weeks, drop the reasonable 12 lbs that I could drop, I will call the fitness part of it a success. If I can overcome my distrust of someone who, by all appearances, seems genuine and sweet and supportive (no matter how much I gain back), I will call that a huge success.

Here are my "before" stats. I'll see if I can figure out how to post a picture for posterior-posterity.

Belly Button Waist: 41

This has been my challenge with where I live/work. Weighing in doesn't happen on a regular basis. Sigh. I've never been an scale obsesser but I do see the value of keeping track at least once a month if naught else. Once a week is optimal in my book. However, I don't have a scale at home (nor can I afford one) and I have no gym membership so weighing in regularly doesn't happen. My clothes feel a little better but I think I'm creeping up on "that time of the month" so I do feel bloated and am noticing I am craving carbs at a ridiculous level.

So...I think what I'm going to do is wait until my period is over and borrow my sis-in-law's gym pass (no photo) and weigh myself and maybe even take a spin on a treadmill or bike. Do a plank or two, mountain climb a smidge. Body weight stuff mostly. It's been a while. I aught to start doing some push-ups here at home too. I can tell I'm getting weak and my energy is overall quite low.

Today, my eating was pretty good except for the early snack of pretzels an hour after breakfast. Breakfast was good and "healthy" but I think I may need to crank up the protein if I choose to have it again. Steel cut oatmeal, chopped 1/2 apple, cinnamon, and @ 1 Tbl brown sugar. I miss eggs for breakfast. Maybe it's worth getting up early for eggs to go with my oatmeal.

Looks like it's been a month since I've been on here. It's also been over a month since I've weighed in. I hope I can get weighed in this week.

I feel like I've lost a little. My clothes are fitting a smidge looser. I would love to say it's because I'm eating like a champ but I'm not. It's more that I've had many days over the last month or so where I don't have time to eat lunch at work. I might be able to take 3 or 4 bites of a Clif bar but that's about it. Yesterday was an example of 8 hours between breakfast and my next meal. I felt terrible.

I know I've said it before, but I'm ready for a new job. This one isn't healthy for me. It makes me sad because I wanted this job to be "the one." It's not. I'm beyond burned out. I have zero energy to do anything once I'm off work. Even eating has taken a back seat to just, I dunno, staring at a wall and letting my brain melt. I am depressed. I've worked enough jobs to know that feeling this way isn't the norm. I am searching for new things.

The nice thing is that everyone once in a while, something helps get me to relax a bit. Last night I was able to go see Oz the Great and Powerful thanks to a free ticket. Good movie. It was nice to escape for a while. I thank the Higher Power for bringing little things like that to me. It's a boon.

Anyway, today eating plan was followed. Herbalife shake for breakfast, colorful meal of teriyaki chicken/rice/steamed veggies for lunch, HL yogurt parfait for dinner. Good stuff.

So far so good. I've maintained this week weight wise. I've not been eating as clean as I could. Herbalife twice a day but the 3rd meal has been unhealthy to an extent most of the week. Or, like today, had birthday cake for lunch (small pieces) and Mom @ I went on a tavern tour tonight which is where I had dinner. Again, not totally unhealthy but not great either.
