Progress of a Different Color

I wish that I could get on here and say that I have lost weight.

Alas, this morning, I was still at 175.5.

I do not understand, and I'm really trying very hard to be positive about the whole thing right now.

Every day that I am able, which has been about 5-6 days per week, I make myself work out. I have wraps and cottage cheese instead of sandwiches and chips. Dinner last night? One of those packages of steamed veggies from Green Giant, and a Chobani non-fat blueberry yogurt. I have been limiting my candy to one piece per day, trying to instead get sugar from healthy sources like apples and yogurt.

I haven't been taking my blood sugar medication, but that's literally the only thing I'm NOT doing that I should be. I'll be getting better about that as of tonight.

So, no progress on that front. But, I did update my iPhone with all of my music today...which means I'm more excited about walking, and especially about walking longer distances. So...that's something, right?

This week and next week, I am going to keep to my regular walk and the beginner's SI6 tape. I will be doing at least 3 days per week of walking, and at least 3 days of SI6, as well as a little Wii in there. After next week, I will start to increase those things in increments. I'd like to ramp up my walk to start out with...first go up to 4 miles, then 4.5, then 5. By the beginning of April, I'd like to be doing 4 miles at least 3 times a week, and to be moving on to the second level of the SI6.

I'm feeling very discouraged today, but I know it has to get better...right? I cannot see how it would be possible for me to change my life this drastically and have nothing come from it in terms of weight loss. I think I'm going to stop weighing myself every day, and try to keep it to once a week. That's what is recommended by most weight loss folks anyway...so maybe there's something to it.

Sigh. Later.
