I know it’s almost a week later but I am back. So this is basically a week in review for me.
So Monday at my weigh in I was thoroughly disappointed with a 4 lb gain. I knew that it was going to be bad but I didn't expect it to be that bad. I was once a gain gaining and loosing the same 5 lbs. I finally came to the realization that I have hit a plateau. Who know it would happen so soon, but then again I predicted it. I have been at or around 340lbs possibly for around that last 4-5 years so why wouldn't my body remember that and try to hold on. So I am currently doing everything that I can to break this and continue with my weight loss as I was previously.
I am happy to report that at my Thursday weigh in I was down 2 lbs. So I am 2 lbs short or breaking my plateau and moving forward with my weight loss goals.
One other thing that is lacking greatly is consistent exercise. I am super busy lazy as all get out and usually don't have the energy to exercise after I work a 10 hour shift and then go to my second part time job. I really need to make out a plan so that I can manage my time more wisely and get in a good work out at least 3-4 times a week. That is a work in progress.
Also while working one of these 10 hour shifts I was able to sit down and map out my weight loss goals. Now I am thinking of a creative way to display this in my home so that I can see where I am and how far I have to go. Currently I have lost 10% of my body weight and that is no small thing. I planned to celebrate by purchasing a new purse because I a trying to reward myself with non food items. But alas I have not found that victory purse yet but the search continues. I will post my weight loss goals somewhere on this blog page so that you Divas can follow along.
Well I guess that’s enough rambling for one day. Its Monday Milestone tomorrow. Hope everyone had a productive week.
Peace and Blessings
I am in the same situation as you - I have hit plateau or a brick wall as I like to call it. Anyway over the weekend I meet up with a friend who said take up things such as yoga and meditation to help center me and to concentrate on my goals. Hope this helps.
