Happy and hoping to break the Plateau
Monday, June 30th 2008
I over did my eating tonight since I had my daughter and FSIL over tonight and cooked a special meal for them. It was a healthy meal, but I didn't blog all day and kept a mental tab on my calories. We all know how that usually turns out at the end of the day. I just needed a little vacation tonight from calorie counting. I did go to Central Market and buy one of those choc. covered cherries as a treat. I think I have broken myself of doing this though when I ate that piece of candy then ate a p...Sunday's exercise

Just a short note since this is Sunday. I am continuing to do well on the treadmill. I managed an hour today and got up to 2.4 speed for 50 minutes and 2.5 for 1o minutes. I used up 192 calories for the first time. This is good because I need to come up with 200 extra calories in order to break this plateau according to Beck. It either must come from cutting food intake or from exercise. I have done a little of both to equal the 200 cals. Now if I can sustain this for a while I might get my met...Rainy, Hot, Muggy, Saturday

Last night I felt absolutely rotten emotionally. It was 8 pm and I hadn't even made it to the gym all day for my much anticipated walk.

So glad I did. I walked ...

I know I have been very positive about my weight loss up to now. I have kept on my diet for over a month now diligently. Still, I stay at the same weight as I have over a month ago. I have read others blogs and know of the agony of plateaus and the defeated feelings of my friends. Well, now I know first hand how it feels because today I'm feeling the blues BIG time over this turn in my weight loss journey. I have read many opinions of what to do at this point. Frankly, I don't know what I am go...full moon and the mockingbird sings

It was a good day today. My weight loss was very little if any at all this week, maybe a half pound at the most. The biggest gain was that i was able to increase my exercise time to 45 minutes on the treadmill three days a week from 30 minutes three days a week. The goal now is to work up to four days a week or one hour, then go faster. Maybe by the end of the year I will be burning more calories. I can not be sure of anything since I have nerve damage to contend with on a daily basis, but I am...« Previous
