Why?!

Why do I do this?

I exercise and watch what I eat...then bam! Evening happens.

I have to think of a strategy that will help me with my evening loss of control. If I dont, I will never lose the last 20n lbs.

Loose Pants

Sigh...

I walk close to 5 miles a day now. I walk at 6:30 in the morning, (just before work). I also walk after work, after supper.

I am following my diet, drinking smoothies (yumm). Sadly, the pounds are not moving.

On the plus side, my pants are looser, and my legs are getting muscly ( checked spelling).

Plateau vs Maintenance October 5, 2013 172.2

Once again, I am practicing maintenance. When is it considered a plateau? When your weight stays the same for a week? A month? I hate it. It is so easy to say f&*k it!

When I first hit one of these, I got pretty upset and depressed. It is hard to keep your momentum when you are stuck at park.

Then one day Diane from Fit to the Finish, suggested that I look at it as maintenance.

That little word twist in the brain is enough for me to keep going strong.

Thats right! September 4, 2013 175.2 lbs

Thats right, you read it right! I weighed in at...175.2b lbs! I guess you can lose weight if you actually count ALL your calories. Sheesh, who knew.

Oh, and I finally off the plateau I was sleeping on.

:( January 30, 2013 *199.0

Still 199 lbs

Gosh darn it! January 29, 2013 *199.0

Grrr....grrr...kick...why? Grrr! It is official damnit. I am having a plateau moment. This very thing, at the exact same weight happened to me last year! Huge difference though. I was totally crazy last year, and the plateau sent me to the outer stratosphere. I was exercising like crazy, and eating hardly nothing. Needless to say I lost maybe 1 lbs in one month, and lost the will to continue.

Flash forward to today. I am pissed/sad/upset/whining/motivated! I am not going to give up. Why would I do that? If this is the only way to move forward and I only lose 1 lbs a month, then that is what it will be. I am sure that wont be the case, but it is something I must prepare for mentally.

I guess now I have to research the crap out of plateau phenomenon.
