Stalled

OK - It's Firday, and I weighed myself this morning instead of at night. Something was telling me to wait until tonight, but I didn't. I lost no weight this week. Still at 265 LBS.

Here is what was different this week - I decided to lose weight slower, so I allowed my self to eat more - not a lot more - minimal. The only excesses were a small plate of normal food at a Singles Dance I attended last Saturday night, and a pre-packaged sushi lunch on Tuesday. I don't think it was the food.

It was lack of exercise. I only did Cardio Exercises 1 day last week - on last Friday. On Saturday, I got home too late after the Dance, so did not do it. On Sunday, I was flushing out my colon and had to stay home. The rest of the week, I was not able to take my NSAID to control pain, so I did not exercise, so as not to aggravate my colon, in the hopes I would sleep better. Last Night was the first night I could take all my pain medications when I went to bed.

So, this week, I will work out. I was migrating towards a mind set that if it was too late at night, I would not workout, so that I could consistently get up at 7 AM. I have to decide which is more important - regular sleep habit, or weight loss. I choose weight loss.

So when I get home from a meeting or activity at 9:30 PM, I will still workout. I have something like that 2 or 3 times a week, sometimes 4. FOr me, working out is 30 minutes, plus cool off time - I can't take a shower until I cool off - and sometimes that takes a long time. I strip off all my clothes to speed that up, but it takes a long time. It is difficult to be ready for bed by 11 PM.
