Had a great day yesterday, however did not walk yesterday-was playing with my new grandbaby!! I was able to get the walking in today, 2.5 miles. The weather is getting so much nicer-was 70 this morning. What a difference a few degrees make, plus humidity was not too bad. I am still struggling with water intake, but was careful with the diet.
175.6 on the scale this morning!! I am so looking forward to watching the scale keep on dropping down!! What a rush!!
One the benefits that I have noticed in this journey is the extra energy. And, when you are seeing results, you have a tendency to push on everyday.
I think that is why plateaus are so freaking hard!! You are out there watching what you eat, trying not to cheat, moving and then you hit the scale and see no change. Such a bummer and it seems like it takes forever for the scale to MOVE!! I truly hate plateaus and I can see why it is so easy to get discouraged when you hit one. You feel like saying "what's the point" and you know you can justify anything in your own mind. I feel that this outlet of blogging is such a great tool. It is a written record of where you have been and where you hope to go. And the added benefit of knowing you have buddies out there who are reading your blog, commenting and encouraging you, lifting and picking you up and just plain knowing that you are not alone out there truly helps when things get rough and let us not forget praising you when you have had a great week, even if it is a small victory--The absolute best motivation ever!!
Just wanted to say Thank you!! I will do the same for you!!
Rock on people!! Lisa
