I have got to stop kidding myself. I keep gaining and losing the same 3 pounds. I am not making any progress. For the most part I am eating 1500 calories a day, and yet the weight is still not coming off. I am exercising like usual - last night I ran 5 miles. My metabolism is stuck. So I have decided to go back down to 1300 calories and see how that goes. That's the RDI that I lost so much weight on. I don't look forward to feeling hungry, which is generally what I do at 1300 calories, but I have to find a way to be able to do it and sustain it. I am sick and tired of having the scale not go down. And I am sick of my belly fat. I am pretty happy with my body except for my stomach. I used to poo poo people who said it's extremely hard to get rid of belly fat. Well, now that I'm 40, it is extremely hard. I am just going to have to ruthlessly cut calories and stick with it. I am prepared to be hungry. I have stayed the same size and I am still comfortably wearing a 10, so that is good. But I want to get more toned and deal with the belly. I am going to have to step up. I am eating a lot of apples lately - like 3 a day. I can't get enough of them. Red Delicious apples - the apple equivalent of iceberg lettuce. I can't help it, I just love apples and I don't seem to get bored eating them. I feel like I am doing what I need to for my diabetes. My A1C is still 5.2, which is totally normal blood sugar, which is rare for a diabetic to be able to do. I just need to attack the belly fat. I can see why I got diabetes. Diabetes does not run in my family. But I have the "apple" shape that is supposed to put you at risk, boy do I have it. The past 2 nights I have had a snack in the middle of the night, which is not good. I just ate some yogurt and pudding, no big whoop. Still, if I didn't do that then my RDI would be better. I have to get back on track, one step at a time.

I am doing pretty well with the food, but I need to get in the gym more. I have to get serious and buckle down if I expect to run a 10k in June. I feel like I can live with 1500 calories a day. I'm not starving, and it's not making me lose superfast, but I have been weighing myself and if I can keep it going for more that 5 days, I actually lose a couple of pounds. I think I can keep at it and start chipping away at the 170's again. Man, I can't wait to weigh 168 pounds - that would be my lowest in about 13 years. I am still on board for this!

I'm doing a lot tonight - I recorded all of my food, went to the gym and ran 4 miles, and now I'm journaling. I had a "dinner" tonight - I had some Dreamfields lo carb spaghetti with meat marinara and zucchini and mushrooms. It was so good. Pasta with marinara is probably one of my all time favorite meals. I have another 3 dinners tupperwared up from this night's cooking. I need to do as well as I can. I have decided to stop weighing myself on the gym scale and just weigh myself at home, every morning. The gym scale is about 5 pounds lighter than my home scale, but my home scale is closer to my doctor's, so I just need to forget about the damn gym scale and just use my own. I still haven't gotten around to getting a snazzy dazzy digital scale for home. I keep gaining and losing the same 3 pounds. I guess that's called "maintenance". I still have hope to lose, I just need to find the will. I am so busy right now and it's so hard for me to get to the gym 5 days a week. Work is piling up and I'm on deadlines and it's hard for me not to have to take home work during the week. I can't wait until it warms up and I can try running outside a little more.

Here I am taking another stab at journalling. I've been pretty good about recording my food lately, better than I have been. I still haven't started recording my exercise yet. I figure the accountability with the food is the most important piece right now. I want to lose weight again very badly. Badly enough to start restricting myself again and letting hidden calories be brought to the light and counted. I haven't lost any significant weight in 5 months. I have lost 3 or 4 pounds, then I've gained 2, 3, and it keeps going back and forth. I haven't gained anything significant, I've maintained my weight, but I really want to get it down. 176 pounds is still overweight by any means, especially on a 5 '4" person like myself. I have started having snacks for dinner, though, and I swear this helps. I don't overeat by having one big meal, and then being hungry later. I stagger my snacks over a couple of hours and eat a little bit when I get hungry. I just think it helps a lot. I only eat a big dinner a couple of times a week, and the rest of the time it's snacking. I had a big chef salad for lunch today, and that was almost like a dinner meal. So I'm having my snacks for dinner, too. Please forgive me if I haven't been posting to your journal lately - it has been such a battle for me to get back fully involved with Fat Secret. Hopefully I can keep on track with food recording, and I will stop in and see some other journals. One thing at a time. Thanks!

I am trying to journal just to get back into the habit. Forgive me if I am not responding to other journals right now. I'm kind of having to force myself to get back on Fat Secret and do what I used to do all the time. Right now I am only logging my food. That seems to be all I can handle right now. I am exercising a lot, but I feel like I can't take on logging it right now. I am getting ready to run my 2nd 5K in a little more than a week, so I am excited. After this, I've really got to step up my running so I can run a 10K by June. I haven't gone more than 5 miles, I will have to push myself so I can get to 6.4 miles. A good goal, I think. I am still super pissed when people tell me I just don't get meditation or yoga. Why isn't it okay to be just like "I don't like meditation or yoga. It is not for me. Thanks anyway." Buttt nooooooo. People tell me I don't know how to do it right, because if I really understood how to do it, I would love it. Makes me SO ANGRY. Not being a Christian, I get this all the time from Christian friends and family. If I only understood what being a Christian was all about, then I would have to be a Christian, too. This makes me so freaking angry, I can't tell you. There are a very few people who I can have an honest conversation with about metaphysical stuff. I don't try to converse about it, either. But I can't get away from people trying to stuff yoga and meditation down my throat, either. The only time when I feel totally in the present, and totally calm, is when I am running a few miles, listening to heavy metal or hardcore hip hop or some serious rock and roll. Loud, fast and aggressive. Makes me feel great. I feel peaceful and centered and drained in a good way after I am done running. This is the feeling that others describe after a yoga sessions or a successful meditation. That is great, I don't take that away from them. But stop insinuating that just because I don't like what you like, that I don't understand or are not as enlightened as you are. Pisses me off.
