30 Day Shred - Take 2

Ok, so yesterday I officially started the 30 Day Shred again. I had to do something, after being off phentermine for about 2 months, I've gained 10lbs (up to 173)! 10 POUNDS!!! (and 2 inches around my waist. I'm now 43" at my bellybutton) That's insane! And I swear it's mental. I know that if I were given a placebo (without knowing it was a placebo) and told that it was phentermine I'd be shedding pounds like before. I've just managed to find myself in this 'I'm not on phentermine, I can't lose weight anymore' mindset and frankly, it SUCKS!

I sporadically tried running with a friend of mine, but we're both pretty weak willed and easily talked each other into eating out  out of exercise days.

I finally just had to suck it up and go back to the DVD. It kicks my butt, but I know it works. I may not lose that much weight with it, but I'll be damned if I have to wear those size 14s again! In fact, as soon as I got into a 12 I consignment shopped all my 'fat pants' just so I wouldn't have an excuse to gain weight. Now, if I don't fit in my clothes, I don't have ANYTHING to wear. More motivation to get this added weight back off!

So, here I am. Day 2 of the Shred. weak. tired. and sore. I probably won't be able to move tomorrow, but at least I'll know I'm doing my best.

(Now if I could only get back onto the smaller portions thing....stupid nighttime snacking. Oh how I hate you.)

Stay tuned. Shred Updates to follow. Wish me luck! I'm going to try my best to make it through the 30 days this time. (Hey, at least if I can get past day 3 that'll be better than last time :o)  I can do that....I hope.)

Goodnight Blogworld! Maybe I'll be able to get out of bed tomorrow without too much pain....



....................... yeah right.
