Same Weight, Different Day

I am now exactly where I was 1 month ago, and 2 months ago, and even 6 months ago. I haven't lost anything in 6 months. The last (and only) time I ever lost weight was 9 years ago when I lost 32 pounds in 16 weeks. Then I went on a trip and couldn't work out, then got home and got pneumonia and couldn't work out, then got a different job, and I gained it all back plus more. It has taken me two years to lose 27 pounds, and since then I can't seem to go below the 244 mark, which is where I STARTED nine years ago. I realized then, and I'm realizing it even more now, that losing weight is a part-time job. It literally takes 2-4 hours every day to plan meals, prepare vegetables, cook your meals properly, and exercise. It has come to the point in my life where I must be willing to take on the extra "job" of losing this weight. Working 8 hour days and finding 2-4 more hours each day to change my lifestyle enough to lose the weight is going to be a reality beginning this week. Actually, I've done pretty good for the past 5 days with meal planning, grocery shopping and eating, so all I need to do is start fitting in the exercise. I'm ready. I've also worked really hard at getting plenty of sleep, and I think that is helping me mentally and physically. I'm not as fatigued when I get home from work, and tonight I was mentally ready to start a workout. I think getting the Wii Fit and Balance Board will be great to start working out and having fun at the same time. It has already been shipped. I will let you know in my next post how I like it.....
