Struggles, I think.

The best part of being on WW has been seeing progress every week.  I have tried so many diets. Some would work for a week or two and I would see very little progress, ultimately giving up.  This is the first time that I have not experienced that kind of desperation and impatience. Everytime I step on the scale I see a move. I appreciate it.  I find that I do not struggle with tracking my food and I am just now committing to the gym again. I love being active, but I guess I have to re-evaluate why I want to be active.  In the past my activity was all about losing weight, not about being healthy or feeling good.  I am starting to realize that its time that I make a commitment to health in all aspects.  I am not getting any younger and I certainly cannot bear to get any bigger. 

Today, I went to the gym.  I was on the Elliptical machine for about 45 minutes with a resistance of 7.  It was challenging to stay on the machine.  I will eventually graduate to running around Astoria park with my friend Grande or around reservoir.  I love running, but unfortuantely my doctor said until I lose more weight I cannot go running, it strains my feet way too much. 

There you have it.  Many reasons to keep at this and all I need is time.
