Setback Wednesday

This day just hasn't quite worked out the way I'd planned...

I woke up extra early this morning so that I could make it to yoga class for a half an hour before my training session. I spent all of that "extra" morning time running around the apartment looking first for my blackberry and second for a pair of capri yoga pants (which I never ended up finding.)

Since I didn't find my capri yoga pants I had to wear my long pants, which was a disaster since it was POURING rain my entire mile long walk to the train. By the time I got to the train the entire bottom half of my legs and my feet were soaked.

I also discovered that my cell phone is no longer working (hence the urgent need to find my blackberry before I left the house.)

Needless to say I did not make it to yoga this morning and barely had enough time to get a mile in on the treadmill before my trainer got there.

Today was measurements day which I have been really looking forward to because even though I haven't lost a single pound (after 10 weeks of running, 8 weeks of training and countless months of weight watchers and exercising on my own) I've looked to "inches lost" as a marker of my success. BIG MISTAKE. This month I gained inches everywhere but my legs.

Needless to say I'm discouraged. I'm working so hard and not getting any results. I'm afraid I'm going to have to do something more drastic with my eating habits than weight watchers which intimidates me. But I also know I cannot continue to work this hard and not see results. I feel pretty stuck and discouraged at this moment.

I need to lose thirty pounds. Thirty pounds! Considering how things have gone for me so far, it just feels like an unattainable goal. (and it isn't even really my "real" goal, I'd actually like to lose more like 40-45 pounds to get down to my happy weight.) At this point though, I'd take five pounds.

Ugh.
