The Wagon.

I commend those people who struggle with weight loss and fitness. I firmly believe it isn’t easy for anyone. I was certain I’d survive the Holiday season, which I did. However I found myself not tracking, which in itself isn’t surviving. I learned months ago that if I am going to lose, I need to track. Period. It is a fact of losing weight and maintaining, for life.
So now that I am tracking again, going to the gym regularly, I feel great. I feel balanced. Life is good. This holiday season showed me that when one thing gets off routine the rest quickly follow and all I can do now is learn from that experience and be prepared for the next time routine might have a glitch and how to survive.
So as of the new year, I am done counting pounds as a total. Well to my friends anyhow, unless I achieve the big goals, like 50, 70 and goal. 
I’m measuring inches now, because in all honesty, that’s what matters more to me than what the scale says. I’ll still keep track of my pounds on my little ticker, but I’m not making that my focus. Getting caught up in that does make it feel like a race, and it’s not a race, it’s a journey that will never really end. When I get to goal I don’t want to be watching the scale so closely that I go insane. That’s how I had been feeling before the holidays. So I needed to turn focus to how I feel, and how my clothes fit.
I feel better for it.
On a totally ironic note, I can’t wait til the New Years Resolution people start clearing out of the gym…. it’s insanely packed!
