Going Back to Meetings

I'm going back to Weight Watcher meetings. I have my annual physical (shame on me I haven't gone in 3 years)at 8 AM on Tuesday. There's a meeting every Tuesday at 10 AM. I'll go for a run afterwards.

I'm not losing weight on my own. I've been stuck around 200 lbs for months. The daily swing has me at 196-197 at the lowest ebb so, I have made some meager progress but, I'm used to a steadier weight loss. There's no logical reason for a man who exercises as regularly as I do not to be able to lose weight. The weekly Weigh-In adds the pressure I obviously need to stay OP.

Part of me wanted to lose weight down to around what I was when I stopped going last Fall, around 182. That's silly. I guess it's the same impulse that makes us brush & floss our teeth very thoroughly before we go to the dentist.

Weight Watcher's is offering free sign-up this month & my health insurance covers most of the cost of the meetings. I've been exercising regularly for over 4 years now. I have sufficient discipline to maintain a fitness regimen. My renewed interest in running was preceded by my entry in WW's. It makes sense that a 5"9" runner who weighs 200 lbs will have more injuries & will have a shorter running career than a runner closer to 160 lbs. I'm in it for the long haul. This is a grownup decision. It's a good decision.
