I think a lot of it stems in the fact that whenever i try losing weight and getting into shape i go for at least 2 weeks to 2 months (which if you do everyday is a LOT of work) i went to the gym every day for the last 2 weeks, minus Sunday's. but i lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks even though i changed my eating habits pretty drastically(for the better) and was now burning at least 500-700 calories per workout. if you think about it that is a lot of hard work.
2 pounds?
seriously?
that's less than 1 percent of my body weight.
all my clothes are fitting just as tight so it's not like I'm changing fat into muscle (muscle weighs more than fat argument invalid) and i am not trying to be rude but i lose more weight in one trip to the restroom.
so in my analytically based mind I'm trying to rationalize spending x amount of dollars a month to spend an hour and a half per day (that's 9 hours a week) to just "feel" a little more healthy.
so I'm at a size in clothes i don't like and a weight i dislike but feel like there isn't much i can do to change that.
i think in my mind I'm wishing there was a regimen that didn't cost $100 a month that was guaranteed to take at least 2 pounds off a week. if you followed it exactly. if someone had such an item, i would be on that like green on grass.
that might get me to my goal in less than a year. since i'm that overweight. i'm 60 pounds over my post mission weight. so yeah. trying to psycho myself into it again.

This is hilarious because I just talked to Dad today and he was saying he was feeling discouraged too, and I was like "it's okay dad, just be patient" and he's like "ya, but then I'd have to actually do what I say to you guys all the time!!" anyway he is going to keep going...you have to keep going too so that he'll keep going :) he's doing so well and so are you! you guys will start taking it off...sometimes it takes a while and then all of a sudden it just comes off pretty fast and then steadies off again...blah blah blah ANYWAY it'll happen so keep going, I'm proud of you guys! love ya...ps I've decided I'm going to try and be in shape enough so that I can RUN up to the Y without wanting to jump off at the top...because I'm getting pretty winded from just walking up the stairs to my apartment...wish me luck! AND i'm sorry my comment is so long...i'm done
Tyler don't get down just yet...it takes some time to lose the lbs. seriously at first you feel bigger...you are building muscle and i promise if you keep it up for a while longer you will find it melting off...trust me. I was so chubby freshman year of college and it took seriousl diet and excersize to lose it all...but it took me a good 5 months before I actually saw major results...you will see some sooner but the big reward comes a little later! I PROMISE!
I'm sad you're missing the wedding! But I understand it's a lot of work the get up there. Maybe I save some treats for you, maybe we'll have something healthy I can put aside. Yeah right. Stick with the gym thing. Not like I ever do. Do you think I can lose like 5 pounds by next Saturday? I'm going on a honeymoon you know. But yeah, even then I'm still totally not motivated.
