Not exercising and still losing....

For the last 3 weeks or so, I've only been working out about 1 - 2x's per week, but still lost weight. This got me to thinking about the time before I got serious about losing weight…

I had my daughter on July 19, 2004. When I came home from the hospital, I weighed 175 lbs, and stayed that way until 12 weeks ago. So, if I can lose weight by pretty much watching what I eat (which is much what has happened the last 3 wks), then does that mean I’ve eaten and extra pound or two of junk/week to maintain? OOOH GROSS!
The other thing that triggered me is that I don't feel I've had to work super hard to lose this weight. Yes, I’ve paid attention to what is going into my body and make an effort to move about more, strength train, and add some cardio a few times per week. But, I don’t feel I’ve really had to sacrifice or that the task at hand is impossible. (My mind may change when I get to my last 10 :) This irritates me because that means I’ve been at least 25 lbs over weight for a whole year, and it wasn’t necessary. A whole year has gone by because I was being lazy, had no motivation, and no will power. I’m disgusted at myself for that.

I don’t want to leave on a negative note…I’m proud of the weight I’ve lost (just wish it would have happened sooner), and am grateful that peer trainer is here to help. I guess the point of this thread is self-serving, but I know I’m not the only one out there.

Anyone share in my disgust of gluttony and laziness?
