Nothing

Well, here I am. I have thought many times in the past few weeks about posting, and have certainly felt obligated to do so, but haven't been able to actually do it. It's not that I dreaded it, or that I never had anything productive to share; I really don't know why. I think I've come to the realization that the start of this blog marked the beginning of the downward psychological/emotional spiral that has been plaguing my life for the past month. Maybe the desire to change my physical appearance subconsciously triggered a desire to change other things, too. I don't know. Regardless, I've been avoiding The Blog for fear that it will only perpetuate the problem.

There were a couple weeks where I completely gave up counting points and tracking my success at the gym. I finally weighed myself last Friday, and to my surprise, only gained back 1.5 pounds. (I was expecting much worse). Last week I also went to the gym three times. This week, while not actually tracking the points I've eaten, I have most definitely become more conscious of what I've been eating. I went to the gym on Monday and plan to also go tonight and tomorrow.

I'm trying to gradually get back into the swing of this. Despite my fear of The Blog, I can't deny that it has helped and will continue to help me achieve my weight loss goals. The bottom line is that regardless of how or where I do it, I need to record my daily point intake and weekly weigh-ins. It'll either be here, or somewhere else. So, for awhile, I don't know if I'll have anything insightful to share or have a desire to share anything other than my "daily report". We'll see.
