I want to but I don't want to

First, thanks for your posts re my food poisoning. I’m feeling like myself again. I just wish the darn hair loss would stop *sigh*.

I’m picking up on a theme  Amy over at  Babbles of a Bandster started. I’ve actually been thinking about this for a few weeks now after reviewing my weight loss stats and how I’ve been progressing over the last 6 months. Based on my review, it takes me about six weeks to lose 10 pounds; the last ten pound increment took me almost 8 weeks.

Note: I am happy with all the weight that I’ve lost. I’ve never been able to lose this much in any of my past attempts. It hasn’t been fast but I’m maintaining what I lose, I may bounce around a pound or two but I don't worry about it.. Having said all that, I know that I could be losing much faster if I changed some things. Those changes would mean working out 5 – 6 days a week instead of 3, keeping track of calories and forgoing the treats. I want to, but I don’t want to. Why? Because so far it’s been relatively easy. I have made changes to my diet, I move far more than I used to and the band does its job by helping to limit my portion sizes. Of course I’ve had my moments of frustration but overall it hasn’t been hard. I’ve been absolutely miserable in the past when I’ve tried to stick to a strict regime and I don’t want to relive that kind of experience. I do however want to pick up the pace. As I type this I think that I need to makes those changes I mentioned. I feel like I’m getting into a bit of a rut and seeing steady losses will help keep me motivated to push on. I’ll keep you all posted on how it goes, I may set up a separate page on my blog for this “get my rear in gear” plan.
