It has been a while since I have written so here is an update. I wish I could say I am 10 pounds lighter but in reality I am pretty much the same weight. I still have about 5 pounds to lose to get to my pre-Christmas weight. So what has happened? I keep gaining and losing the same 2 pounds. One week I'll do good and be down, the next week I spluge a bit too much and gain the weight back. Over the past two months there have been a lot of social activities and I just lose control. On the bright side I am back to walking three times a week and I have joined a gym and am in week 3 of doing strength training and cardio twice a week there. I am hoping that the increased activity level will help burn a few more calories.
This is the first time in all my weight loss attempts that I have hit the dreaded plateau. It is as if my body doesn't want to let go of any more fat. I am still following the plan, but the weight is not falling off like it once did and I was never perfect every day.
I need to find some kind of exercise on one of the weekend days. I really miss the long Sunday walks I used to take, but my friend that I did it with was having back trouble and can't walk that long anymore. So until I find a new Sunday walking buddy I am out of luck there.
I am hoping that the increased workouts will start showing results and I am trying to change up some of my food since I was in a bit of a rut. I am feeling optimistic, so I hope that I will have some actual results to report the next time.
Until next time...
