The Wall has been Hit… Again

On Friday night Jen and I were discussing weight. What can we do to lose it? Surgery is an option, but it’s a really scary one. Let’s put that on the back burner for a while. What about diet and exercise? That sounds good, but we both lack motivation and will power. What can we do? Some extreme options were mentioned, like a vegan diet, or an all liquid veggie diet. Those are also on the back burner. We decided to join weight watchers again. We both tend to do well in that framework, especially when we go to regular meetings. It’s damn expensive but the results have been pretty good. We had our first weigh in yesterday and we went to a meeting. We can’t get into the habit of missing meetings like we did last time. We have to stick with it. I lost about 20 pounds when we joined just after New Years. Since we stopped, I’ve gained 25. Not good.

As for exercise, we decided against a gym. With our work schedules and long commutes it’s just hard to make ourselves go enough for it to show any results. Instead, we bought a treadmill. Let’s start with that and see how it goes.
