Weight-Loss Update: The Holidays
Losing weight, per se, is not one of my New Year’s Resolutions for 2014.
It’s just a given, as always: I’m going to track what I eat, I’m going to try to move more, and I’m going to continue my seemingly never-ending journey toward a healthier weight and body composition in general.
The fact that I’ve gained and lost the same six pounds during 2013 is discouraging, but not surprising — I’m so into this “it’s not a diet” idea that I kind of forget that, by most standard definitions, I am on a diet. I’m actively trying to lose weight — ergo, I am on a diet. Once I lose that last 20 pounds (or more), I’m not going to go back to the way I ate, say, ten years ago, so it’s also a lifestyle change… but I need to remember that I’m trying to lose weight right now, not maintain. The only way to do that is to follow a plan, and not do things half-assed. If I’m doing Weight Watchers, I need to do it, and follow the plan.
