Overcoming Plateau's

[tiggerlover]

It is mine......finally!!!!! After 4 LONG weeks I am finally grabbing my new clippie!! I weighed in early and I am down 1.25 pounds, which I will only claim as 1 pound and I am so excited. As many of you know I started weight training 4 weeks ago and cut back a little on my cardio and in four weeks I was at a standstill and getting frustrated. Well, last week I decided to step things up and I added back my regular cardio in addition to the weights, but then the bloat fairy hit and it was once again that TOM and I was still standing still on weigh-in day two days ago. But today even though TOM is still here I just had to get on the scale and I was nicely rewarded.

Many thanks to all of you who had encouraging words for me, you all helped to pull me through. You all are such a wonderful group of people and I am so thankful you are a part of my journey to a healthy body and mind.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay, Tiggerlover!!!!! I am bouncing all over Florida in celebration of your victory!!!! GOOD FOR YOU!!!! I am proud of you for hanging in there these last four weeks, I know how discouraging it can be to step on the scale and see the numbers stay in the same spot! I know you have lost more than a pound over the last four weeks too, and that the muscle you are building was the culprit, but now you are all revved up and burning even more calories per day!!!

Keep up the great work!

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, you look wonderful with that new clippie Debbi!! I am at a stand still too, but as you know I am not following any diet except for eating sensibly and exercising more.
I think I have gotten to the point where working out more is what I need the most , and this weather hasn't really helped. Hopefully since the weather is supposed to improve and we are going to start hitting the local waterpark on a regular basis, I can incorporate more walking, and more swimming at the same time that I am having fun.
Congrats my friend, keep up the good work!

Olga, the weather is a real deterent some times, but I have to share a little story with you as a possible motivator. It has gotten very, very hot here (upper 90's during the day, upper 70's at night) and yesterday I simply didn't want to work out because it was so stifling hot. I was struggling because Thursday is my off day, but I knew I had a committment today that would prevent me from working out, so I knew I should go to the (un-air conditioned gym). I struggled and finally at 2:30 I went, hottest part of the day and I am going to the gym! I was so hot I just couldn't get moving, but once I did I completed my 45 min. cardio and believe it or not I felt cooler than when I started and I was so glad that I gave in and went with it. I know it is hard to get going in the heat, but it was well worth it!

BTW, 11 more days.
