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!
I think it is possible that your body is just adjusting to your new exercise routine. I have no idea if this is true, but I am guessing that muscles hang onto fluid as they are getting used to the running. And eventually, your muscles will tone up and maybe build up a little, thus some weigh a little more. I wouldn’t worry about it. And unless you have problem areas where you really feel like you need to lose more to get rid of them, then maybe your weight is a good stopping place. For me, I would be fine with the 150’s except that to get my belly fat off, I obviously need to get into the 140’s because it is def. my problem area and it is pretty stubborn!
Great job on your C25k!
