November was more or less a big ol' blur - pretty inactive and pretty slow weight-loss wise (I guess those two go hand-in-hand).
I lost a total of 4 lbs this month - which isn't too shabby, but probably could have been better had I followed my monthly goal of tracking, tracking and more tracking. Let's check out how well I did on my goal:

Well, as you can see, I won't be getting a pedicure this month! I really do need to be a better tracker. I may be doing OK eating wise - but that does not mean that I cannot track what goes in.
I have also been having troubles getting to the gym to get some cardio in. A lot of this is just laziness on my part - and I have to smarten' up.
December's monthly goals are going to be great and I WILL accomplish them! I must - I only have 1 month left of my "rescuing lisa" project and I still have 34 lbs to lose. I know I won't get to my goal - but hey - I am no quitter. I'm going to give it everything I got to get as close to 130 as possible.
One thing that has become quite apparent this month though - it the amount of repairing I am going to have to do on my inside - I've done a pretty good job at casting myself out - putting myself down on the inside (although you would never know it based on how I act) - but inner Lisa is pretty battered and bruised. I am going to have to start the inner repairs soon if I want the weight to not only keep losing - but to maintain that loss too.
It's so weird - I never thought I was bruised and battered on the inside - but turns out, there is all sorts of hurt in there that needs to be addressed. And with less weight to hide behind now, I have got to confront it and deal with it.
We all over-eat for a reason: well I have learned why I do this to myself - it's to punish myself and to hide from things I have been bottling and keeping in for so long. I didn't expect to find this on the inside when I started losing weight. But now it's here and there's nothing left to do but deal!
I completely agree with your last part about dealing with the inside and having weight to hide behind. I am still doing it and trying hard to find out why!!! It is completely standing in my way, too!!
ReplyDeleteHey Lisa - I have found the same thing - I spend as much or more time trying to deal with the inner stuff as I do exercising and meal prep. The more successfully I handle my emotions, the more success I have on the scale. I feel like WW should come with a one-on-one counsellor sometimes!
