The one or two of you who even bother to read this blog may have noticed that I've been off schedule the last few weeks.
The truth is I'm horribly discouraged. I've hit the gym HARD for the last month. I've been careful in what I'm eating. I feel like I'm putting 100% effort in. Yet I'm seeing NO, zero, none, nada, nyet results. I'm STUCK at 330 pounds.
My goal of being 299 by the end of the year is completely unattainable at this point. There's just no way I could make up that much lost time.
I'm use to effort in equaling results out. Work more hours, get more pay. Drive faster and get there sooner. Up until now in the Journey this has been truth. The harder I've worked the gym, the more weight loss. But this is no longer the case.
I would give up completely, but then I think of a friend of mine who is a commercial fisherman. He works hard. The thing is, no matter how much effort he puts in, sometimes the fish just aren't there. But if he didn't put in the hard work, then the fish could be there and he'd miss it. So, fish or no fish: You have to put in the work to take advantage of when the fish are there.
Therefore, I will continue to put in the time at the gym. At least I will know I'm doing my part, even if the desired results don't come.

read up on what might get your metabolism going again. Also might have your thyroid check out. Even if no lbs. off, the excercise will still have positive effects. I don't always comment, but definitely read your posts.
