Plateau????

I just noticed that somehow I wrote this blog as a Page yesterday and it didn’t show up in my blogs..strange! Anyways this is yesterdays blog and today’s blog is below :-)!

So I am definitely plateauing! I’ve been 149.5 and 150.5 for the past 4 weeks…that is crazy!! I am quite happy here at 150 and wondering if I should push to lose about 5 more..but this is the weight my body seems happy with or stuck at…I am wondering if I am eating enough?? Before i’ve always eaten more than 20 points and I’ve lost..now at 20..I am finding that I am still hungry and I am NOT losing anything…Maybe this week I should go back to 22…I am walking/jogging a lot and NOT counting that into my points..not adding any ‘activity points’. My biggest goal now is not on the scale…it’s getting toned and more fit!

I think with every blog i write I am going to write something that I am thankful for / positive about myself…I am trying to be a much more positive person….before I was the person who was so negative and always looked at the glass half empty…Sometimes I can still be this person so thats why I’ve decided to try this!

***I am so happy to have girlfriends who love to hangout/chit chat/shop! / and just spend time together!

Saturday splurge

The weekend was good up UNTIL yesterday…………..went out shopping with a friend and went to Pizza Delight for supper…..she is also dieting and goes to the gym a lot……and instead of ordering a salad which i always do I had garlic fingers and chicken, mushroom and onion pizza…ate two slices..and a nice few garlic fingers..Why does socialization always have to involve FOOD??? .I have no self control and I feel like such a hypocrite to even be writing on this site especially because I’ve lost my self control……arghh…anyways today was a much better day than yesterday food wise!

I still haven’t done w2d3 of C25K……..so I am planning on doing it tonight..and starting week 3 tomorrow…to get right into it.

Went to Old Navy yesterday and bought a very cute white lacey nightie with black polka dots and an exercise tank top both for like 22.00! I love shopping so much now and getting good sales…just afraid that if i keep going the way I have been lately with the food I won’t be able to make any use of it.

I need to set of a goal for the next 7 days……….no junk…follow the plan and stick to my walking and running… I also think I’m eating too many of those 90-100 calorie snack packages..they are so addictive but have lots of sugar in them..argh……………….I need some motivation so desperately!

*** Update—–home from W2D3…feeling so good right now…and wondering what I would do without my Ipod…music makes running SO much easier! Soo nervous about week 3..jogging for 3 mins and then walking for 3….i just might pass out on the sidewalk….it’s a lot harder jogging outside also but all I can do is try..or die..lol.

Forgot to end with something positive/thankful…hmm….I came up with this on my own..sort of a little quote…..”Each of us are given only one body, one LIFE……… ..what we do with it is up to us….we can NOT  take care of it and let it be destroyed over time or we can cherish it and take pride in it….dedicate ourselves to taking care of the body we were given and make our LIFE last as long as it possibly can.”..yep I made that up on a jog one night and it just stuck in my head..and I keep telling myself this!
