Well I gained... again.. how do you guys do it?
So, last week I did pretty terrible. I barely logged anything and I overate almost every day, my weekly weigh in Monday morning hit me where it hurts, I gained 2lbs. Now, 2lbs isn:t the worst gain, but my issue is I cannot seem to get under 170lbs. I:ve lost maybe 5 pounds in the past 4-5 months, I:ve given up bread )hurts my stomach), soda, most candy and rarely ever eat fast food which helps me feel better physically and sleep better, but I:m stuck with my weight. I:m at 172lbs now, and my goal is to be under 145lbs, I may look good at 145lbs or may look good at 130lbs, so my goal is to hit a weight that I:m comfortable at but I need to lose at least around 30lbs more. I don:t really have a set date but I:d like to lose around 1lb a week from now on. I just can:t even manage to do that... Since this time last year with off and on dieting I:ve lost around 30 or 35 lbs.
I was logging super accurately, the first week I lost 2lbs, then I continued logging every morsel that went into my mouth and didn:t lose anything, then I had a lot of issues come up with family and such and slipped back a little and that:s when I gained my 2lbs back. I know it:s because I:m not logging accurately or exercising for that matter, it:s just very hard to cook meals and eat good and still have time to spend an hour or more exercising every day with my current routine.
So my question being, how do you guys do it? I imagine a lot of you have jobs and some have pretty busy lifestyles, where do you find the time? My biggest issue is I:m hungry, and not at my house, and there:s a thousand places to get junk food, so I get it because I hadn:t eaten all day, but when I get home at night I:m exhausted and starving and so I grab whatever food is available, eat it and pass out. Ugh..
