Goals for the month of July

[katieimp]

So, I've been feeling worse and worse about myself as I slowly gain weight back, which makes me feel defeatist, which makes me more prone to eat in a "what the hell, I'm gaining anyway" kind of attitude. So, I weighed myself this morning, and I'm going to get body fat % checked this week then.... I'm not looking again for the whole month. Instead

I subscribe to the "muscle weighs more than fat" mantra like it's holy writ, for whatever that's worth.

I do super-slow weight training with joyous_tiger about once a week. It hasn't done much for losing weight as such, but I've gained a bunch of muscle, and its got an air of science (how can we bring your muscles consistently and completely to failure and beyond) and efficiency (in terms of time) that appeals to me. Kind of expensive, but when I pay for personal training I'm paying for expertise, but I get motivation for free :).

Oh, and regardless of how much weight you've gained, as someone who hasn't seen you in years I almost didn't recognize you based on how skinny you've gotten, so you've still gone 10 steps forward, even if you then went 3 steps back.

I've thought about suggesting that, but it doesn't seem like the best idea with her history of joint (especially knee) issues.

Good luck! I wish we could just average our weights and get it over with. :/
