Struggles

I feel like I am struggling this week. Struggling to maintain, struggling to fit in exercise and struggling to get anything done on the blogs and websites. I'm in a rut. What can I say?

We've been spending most of our free time trying to get prepared for the craft sale we are having on May 30th at our home. You don't burn too many calories painting...LOL. One good thing is that my hands are busy and I don't feel like snacking like I usually do, but even that is a struggle at times. I feel like I need to really kick start my metabolism again and get out of this rut I am in.

So I've been re-reading some eBooks I've purchased on weight loss and working out. I'm thinking about cutting out wheat from my diet and only eating complex carbs after a workout to see if that will help boost my metabolism.

I've also given www.sparkpeople.com a second look. I joined their site quite a while ago, but never did anything with it. I plan on taking the next few days to get familiar with it so that I can start fresh with their program on Sunday. One thing I noticed that I really like, is that you can log your exercise and they will tell you how many calories you have burned doing that exercise and it will be logged so that you can see how you are progressing with your weight loss goal. That gives me the visual encouragement that I need where my Scorecard idea seems to be falling short.

So for the next two weeks or so, I may be scarce and may not be writing more than a post or two a week. I invite you to take a look at some of my favorite weight loss blogs that I like in the meantime. They can be found to the right on the sidebar.

If anyone would like to be a guest writer on my blog, please e-mail me. I think it would be a wonderful idea to hear someone elses point of view for a change.

Have a good weekend everyone!
