Stuck…Unstuck….Can we talk about those dang plateaus?

July 9, 2015

Dealing with a plateau can be annoying.   I’ve been holding steady at 286 for about two weeks now.   What’s up with that? I’ve heard it explained before. Something about you body becomes comfortable at a certain weight.

Well can a sista be comfortable at say…..My Goal Weight? ?? Jeepers.

I wasn’t really feeling the gym today. But I had a good workout anyway.

My not feeling the gym carried over to today. But nevertheless I went.   Did the bike and upper. Funny thing is, when I got home I went for a jog. It was a short jog. But it was something.   I’m craving cheesecake…. Bring on the protein bar.

Thank you Jesus! I got on the scale this morning and finally the plateau was broken. Wow that was long. However considering that I’ve been fat for a long time I guess everything’s relative.   At any rate it helped me to put everything in perspective and to remember that this is a journey and not a sprint. Slow and steady wins the race is an expression that annoys me but it’s true. So with that said, I will continue to do the best for my body and stay focused.   I put this journey in the hands of the Lord and this time I’m not taking it back.

Laying here thinking about if I should go for a quick jog or nah.   On one hand I want to push myself. But on the other I know that if I push myself too soon, I might quit before I begin.   Shouldn’t be that way. I should stay positive and believe that I can and will. But still…..I know myself.

I’m not close to meeting my calorie goals today.   Didn’t get a good breakfast before church.   So it put me off track.

I’m short on cash but I managed to get breakfast and lunch for the upcoming week.   Sometimes I worry about food too much. I’m sure I have enough fat reserved that I probably won’t starve for a while. That’s not an insult. That’s just who I am right now.

July 13th & 14th, 2015

My eating and workouts were awesome.   I felt better than I did last week.   Felt like I worked really hard.   Got my little sprint in too. I had to thank God for the way that he’s changing me. How I truly believe that I’m becoming the me I always wanted to be. The me that God wants me to be…….
