January and the wagon

If I was an alcoholic, I would have this to say of the last two weeks: I'm off the wagon. The wall. It hit back. But I soldier on.

The weight bounce and new highs

Everyone who attempts to lose weight, and tracks their progress, notices one thing: Their weight may go down, but it also goes up, then down, then up again, then down again. Insert sighing noise.

Making progress, finally.

When  I started this journey, it seemed like I wasn't making any noticeable progress. I would lose a pound here or there, but nothing substantial in a short amount of time. For those that struggle with their weight, that is probably one of the biggest mental hurdles we have to overcome. Sometimes, we just don't lose weight quickly enough to think the effort is worth it.
