Presently I am holding my ground. Weight fluctuations are within a few pounds and that's normal. I am done nursing so any extra calories used for that are now being stored as fat. I thought that just cutting back a bit was going to do the trick, but cutting back without any clear goal in mind usually results in not seeing a difference in the scales and frustration. I have sporadically worked out, either jogging or weight-training, depending on what I did the day before. Again, my workouts haven't produced the desired results.
Realizing that the nursing has merely delayed weight-gain and now that I'm done I'm determined to get more serious about this. I've been following a plan, not to the letter, but honestly with what I can and I'm seeing some little changes, positive changes. It is rather sobering to see how much effort I must put forth in order to see a little bit of change. This is not for the faint of heart. And if I want to continue to see the change I'm going to have to stay commited to the goal that I'm making, or else all the effort is lost. This is not a quick fix, but it's not impossible. This is where I see the top of the mountain, but it's still a ways off.
