I believe I have hit my first plateau. I am hovering around the same weight for 10 +days now. It is plus or minus a pound or three. I got out for a walk 3 times this weeks. A walk must not be enough. I keep thinking I want to do couch to 5 K but I keep finding reasons to not do it. I think fear is the biggest reason. I am not sure what I am actually afraid of-success. I have tried walking programs, and after a week or so I just stop. why keep doing this to myself?
This week I realized I do need a food journal. I had talked about it in an email with my friends who or on the road to this lifestyle change with me. I was thinking nah. In those emails we talked about our food plans. What we were eating at each meal including snacks. I guess in a way it was my food journal. I wrote to them every morning. I mapped out the meal planning. It was in black and white. Lesson learned. I must admit to journal it is the worst part of this lifestyle change.
It is not that I am not moving enough or not using a journal that I had a blah week. I guess it felt more like a competition with the girls around. we all have a similar amount of weight to drop. So with them it is more even. Men lose faster traditionally, and John has a lot less to go than me. He is a great encourager. Good and Bad! I am so lucky he is here, my huge fail he sent the sweetest text. he said "not a fail, just a slip for this meal" It ended as a slip day. I made cookies. I think there is just one left.
I need to figure out how to break the plateau. A 3 day cinch cleanse? greens and proteins? time for some web research. keep your fingers crossed for me! I still have a lot to go!
