Or should that be “Standing Still”?

Since I last posted, a month or so ago, I’ve been on a slow decline. Wavering just 3-4 pounds for a couple of weeks, not doing much to lose more, but not doing much to gain back, either.

So what does that mean? I’ve fallen off the radar, not off the wagon really. I’m still doing some strength training - in my yard, with bricks, and shovels, and rakes and things. I’m getting a good workout in my fingers, with all the typing at all the other blogs I fiddle with, and I’m eating more cottage cheese and grapefruit than I ever thought I would.

We’ve still maintained a good selection of food in the house, with the occasional splurge in moderation, still balance a protein with a carb and veggie, still just … still.

I haven’t posted here in quite some time. It seems like I’ve lost my motivation, though I haven’t lost the pounds. Ack. Where is my willpower? Have you seen it? Please send it home if you see it.

Next week, I start water aerobics at a new place. The community ed program I usually go to — at a school, with mostly senior citizens — isn’t having a class this spring, so I’ve signed up for a class at the Y. On one hand, I’m excited, as it’s a beautiful new facility. On the other hand, I’m petrified. You’re really on display in this place — it’s atrium-like, so it’ll be like exercising in a fish bowl. In a bathing suit. When you have at least 30 lbs to lose. And I’m convinced that the people in this class won’t all be senior citizens. Some will be young and fit, no doubt. I’m hoping for a few middle-aged unfit people like myself so I’ll feel more at home. Sigh.

You couldn’t have ALL reached your goals already.
