I'm at the point right now where I'm a little bit afraid to look at the scale. I know I've gained some pounds and I'd be surprised if I'm under 255 right now. What makes me afraid is that it could be a lot worse than that.
It seems like my two periods of sickness in the Fall/Winter + the Holidays really did me in. Not only am I not maintaining my diet with any degree of commitment, but my dedication to working out, which has worked so well for me in the past, has flagged. I guess I'm just tired of working out like a freaking demon all the time, day after day after day. That's actually okay I think. If I could maintain 3 days/week with consistency and a low-carb diet, I would lose. My guess is I would lose 15 lbs/year on that kind of regimen.
The latest health issues are late season allergies and some sort of tweak to my back that resulted in me taking a week off. The truth is, I was happy to take the time off.. As I said above, I'm tired of it. I don't want to quit, but maybe I could do something else for a while. It might be fun to work out on my own for a couple of months and focus on strength. I might do some spinning classes as well.
I'm buying a plyo-box on Wednesday and I'm ordering some dumbbells from Amazon. The plyo-box is 16", which is a good height for weighted step-ups, which is mostly what I want it for.
