Weighing In

Two weeks ago, I weighed in at work for our "Biggest Loser" competition.  After making significant strides in improving my diet, it wasn't enough.  The scale barely budged.  I actually gained 0.4 lbs.

Arrrrrggghhhh!!!

It's clear that I can't lose weight on diet alone.  Time to try a new strategy...

First of all, I need to exercise.  Although my work is somewhat physical, it isn't enough.  With my Achilles tendinitis, my routine of choice will involve Pilates and Yoga.  Eventually, I would love to go to back to dancing.  But first, physical therapy!

Stress is another factor for my weight gain.  Damn you, Cortisol production!  Exercise will help, but I think that adding something else like meditation will be a huge help.

Am I trying to make too many modifications at the same time?  Perhaps, but I want to win this competition.  It's time for some self-imposed tough love.

Let's see what happens...
