i think i have finally hit one. the dreaded plateau! i have been sitting at the same weight for about a month now, wait, correction, i have been gaining and losing the same 3 lbs. i just cant get any lower. i need to make some changes. i need to run more. i feel like i am losing momentum, and motivation. the turkey run is two weeks from today, and i dont feel like i am anywhere near where i need to be. in all of this, i dont like the uncertainty of possibly not making my goal. even if i stopped losing weight, i'd still feel good about what i have done so far, but i am not done!!! i still have 40 more to go. i just need to buckle down, and go, go, go!!!!!
i have also found out that i can eat way more than i wanted to. it scares me. all this hard work, and all the changes i have made, i am not going to go back to the old me. i have been making an effort to get more protein in, and more vegetables. its still hard to make that choice between chips or veggies. (i am choosing the veggies, in case anyone is wondering) but i cant lie, i do have a few chips, but i overload on the veggies. and i am sure that the hard choice between chocolate and...anything, chocolate will probably always win. its just me, and i dont think that will ever change.
Plateaus suck no doubt about it. I lost and gained the same coupla pounds all through August September and most of October. Not sure how I managed to get past it but finally did. You will too! I have all sorts of faith in you ...look how far you have come already.Chocolate still wins quite often with me too...but I try to make sure that I don't overdo it (the old me speaks up here and says is it even possible to overdo chocolate lol) Keep the faith Lisa...you can do anything I am sure of it! :) ♥
