It's been another month, and I've lost a few pounds, for sure, but nowhere near as much as I thought I would. I know why. I'm not perfect about following my plan. I've even altered my plan to better allow me to follow it. Instead of sticking with the strict protein:carb:fat ratio I had laid out, I switched to just trying to stick between 1200 and 1300 calories a day. That's been easier, but I'm cheating too often. It's been slowing down the weight loss progress quite a bit.
Anyhow, I'm currently 168.9, which is awesome because I broke the 170's. But I would have liked to have lost more. I'm thinking of talking to my psychiatrist about switching some of my medications to those that are associated with less weight gain. Now would be the best time to do so, as I don't have any daily obligations. So that's what's been going on in that department.
I haven't been working out lately. First, it was shin splints. Then, I got sick. Then, it was shin splints again, and would you look at that! All those good habits out the window in what felt like an instant. I mean to get back into it, but it just hasn't happened yet. It feels like my life story at this point. I can't stick with anything anymore.
On the bright side, I'm looking forward to sitting on my butt playing video games with my husband this fall. Because 4 major multiplayer games are coming out over the course of the next 3 months. First, Borderlands 2. We loved playing Borderlands-- it was probably our favorite multiplayer game next to Halo 3. Just last night we dusted off the Xbox controllers just to play a little Borderlands to get back into the groove so we'll be ready when we finally get the new one. The next big multiplayer to come out is Resident Evil 6. Neither of us have played any of the previous Resident Evil games, but Resident Evil 5 was a very popular multiplayer, so we figured we'd give it a shot. Plus, who doesn't love killing zombies? After that, Halo 4 comes out. Halo is an amazing multiplayer game because the main campaign can be played both as local multiplayer AND with friends online, plus it has a history of having awesome online multiplayer gameplay as well. Then, finally, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is coming out mid-November. It has legendary online multiplayer gameplay, including the ever-popular "zombies" gameplay. It's been a favorite amongst our family ever since the original Black Ops came out.
Needless to say, this fall and winter isn't shaping up to be a particularly active time of my life, but it is going to be awesome nonetheless.
Are any of you looking forward to these games? If you have an Xbox, let us know so you can join in on our shenanigans!
