Kelley Climbs!

My weight hasn't changed in months.

I know why.

It's me being stupid. It's me being lazy.

I ( finally!) got tired of whining about it. I found a Groupon for a local rock wall gym and said "What the hell."

Honestly I didn't last long. And I never did make it to the top. But …

I did it.

I'm sore. Really sore. Rock climbing is a full body workout. And I had a full body to pull up that wall! But …

I did it anyway.
I didn't wait until I was thinner. I didn't wait until I had more money. I didn't wait until I had more grace and skill.

I turned 50 and decided that I'm tired of waiting for "the right time." I've wasted too much time waiting. So …

• I'll do it fat.
• I'll do it broke.
• I'll do it awkward.

Yea me. This is another bucket list item to cross of the list.

I'm hoping this will motivate me to get moving again. Squats and push-ups will help get me to the top of the wall. Whining and eating junk food won't.

Today I'm getting back on the program. Not tomorrow morning. Not next weigh-in day.

TODAY!

And next time I'll have more flattering pictures. Thankfully nobody is looking at this blog but me.

Plateaus Suck

I've hit a plateau on my weight loss journey. It sucks.

I've been losing and gaining and losing the same two pounds for the past 6 weeks. It's frustrating.

I know part of the problem is that I've been slacking. I'm not tracking regularly, I'm not always making wise choices and I've stopped the squats.

AND I've stopped blogging. That's a bad sign.

Why am I sabotaging myself?

Every Thursday I write notes to myself in my WW My Success Story booklet after weigh-in. "The program works if you work the program" and "Track more, walk more, lose more." I'll track, but by Sunday I've slipped back into the bad habits. It's frustrating. I just can't seem to break the 30 pound down threshold. Grrr . . .
