2. Perserverance - Since walking for 8 months hasn't done much, integrate some jogging during your 2 mile stretch, and prioritize this joyful experience at least 4 days a week.
3. Optimism - throw in some crunches and leg lifts for good measure.
4. Starvation - be hungry 80% of the time.
5. Integration of Absence to Grow the Heart's Fondness- cut out all chocolate and dessert. Get one Dairy Queen hot fudge brownie sundae that daytime TV relentlessly advertises in a moment of weakness, and only eat half of it.
6. Torture - replace your beloved cherry coke with
7. Strategy - optimize your weigh-in day to correspond with the day of the month when your body retains minimal water.
8. Wastefulness - forget about the starving kids in Africa. They will not be served by you finishing that BBQ sandwich. Toss it.
9. Conservatism - eliminate grocery shopping. Less food = less desire to eat. This will also improve your attitude about the growing food costs you've been trying to budget around.
10. Finally... Frustration - step on the scale with an empty bladder, an empty stomach, and a clotheless physique fully anticipating the fruits of your labor. Realize you've lost 1 measly pound, which means you have to continue this routine for 9 more freaking weeks to return to your pre-pregnancy weight (which is still about 5 pounds above your ideal weight). UUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHH!

You are so funny! Give it time! It'll come. : ) Maybe we can meet and walk together some when ya'll get moved back to Rome!
Have a great week.
Jessica...you make me laugh! I am quite impressed with your efforts...I'm sorry it hasn't been as rewarding as you would like! My body is begging for a diet...I think I need to spend some time at the pool to feel a bit more motivated. Ahh...I'm off to go eat a few peanut M&M's while watching Idol.
My weight loss plan worked pretty well. However, I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone...
Losing weight? I did not know the meaning of that until I got pregnant and gained almost 50 pounds. Prior to pregnancy the heaviest I weighed was 108! I ate what I wanted and did not exercise. I just don't know what happened after pregnancy, but it has not been the same. Now, with this pregnancy, which I started a little overweight, I have gained about 40 pounds so far. I can only look back at pictures and dream of wearing a bathing suit again without stretch marks, floppy belly, and huge thighs. At least I got a beautiful daughter out of the deal and another on the way.
Oh, I know it is so tough! You'll get there. Like Rosi said, you got a pretty fantastic “consolation prize”! :)
You are too funny! Keep trying. But you have to do something different. You can't do the same thing & expect different results. Take Shanda up on walking together...but walk faster. It's easier when you have someone to do it with. Good luck!
