For the past 8 or so months, I've been stuck in a plateau. I've been around 230lbs. since November 2020. I was down to 225ish at some point, but the most recent time I weighed myself I was 235. Still not bad considering I'm down from 290lbs, my highest weight, but now that i saw my plateau turn into a bit of an uptrend, I'm ready to nip in the bud. The plateau is caused a combination of things: less walking, less focus on eating healthy, and drinking more alcohol.
I got a new puppy back in November and he took up a lot of my time and was too young to go for long walks, so I often skipped those. I bought a house and during the whole move-in process (which dragged on pretty long), I wasn't really cooking and was eating out a lot and picking up takeout more often than normal. I've started going out on the weekends again and drinking. Though the drinking itself is not beneficial for my weight loss, the bigger problem is the food I eat while I'm out drinking: wings, pizza, and other dive bar food. I used to weigh myself every day and that kept me in check, but I stopped doing that for some reaosn.
That puppy is now a 10-month old giant who can go for long walks with me. We've been doing 2-3 mile hikes a few times a week and it's been incredible. I'm finally all settled in so I've been cooking meals and only eating out once a week or so. I'm going to start weighing myself every day again to keep myself on track. Also, since the moving process started, I've been saying once I'm settled in, I'm going to get a gym membership so I'm going to finally do that this week.
Sorry for the pointless post, just needed to put this into words and put it somewhere!
