Fat as Hell…

and not going to take it anymore!

WordPress is Being a Bugger

I’ve been trying for about 30 minutes now to upload my recent pedometer challenge pictures, but WP doesn’t want to cooperate. Nonetheless, here are my numbers:

Monday: 10,409
Tuesday: 15,199
Wednesday: 15,178

I’ll try to post the “proof” tomorrow.

In the meantime, I’m struggling with keeping up with all the different aspects of my weightloss program (for lack of a better term). When everything is running smoothly, and there’s enough hours in the day for me to complete everything, here is what I do: Count calories and try to remain under 1300 each day.

  1. Post said calories and all food eaten on my food diary.
  2. Exercise according to a weekly plan
  3. Post weekly exercise plan and…
  4. Post exercise progress throughout the week.
  5. Write/Reflect/Post other bits of flotsam related to my quest to lose weight.
  6. Maintain records of all of the above on calendar/spreadsheet for the month

I guess it’s important to note that there *never* seems to be enough hours in the day and right now, I’m really only accomplishing 1, 3 and sometimes 5 with any success. The others are falling by the wayside. And when I write it all down, it doesn’t seem like a huge amount of stuff to do, but currently, I feel like I’m being bogged down by the administrivia of it all. And frankly, if I do take the time, that is to say, force myself to do the other things on my list, something else will have to give… namley the time I currently put into exercising each day. And well… that just doesn’t seem so smart.

But I don’t know.

On the one hand, it seems smarter to be actually *doing* something about my weight than simply sitting around recording all of the things that I should be doing. But, on the other hand, I know too that writing it down and posting that information makes you more open to public scrutiny and, in that way, holds you to a higher level of accountability.

*shrugs*

A part of me feels like I’ve bitten off more than I can chew.
Another part just feels like I just need to prioritize.
And still another part wishes I had some chocolate.

Do any of you ever feel overwhelmed by how much work it is?
How you do balance it all?
