I am really at my wits end. I woke up this morning sore from head to toe from last nights workout and hobbled into the bathroom only to find that my weight is UP a pound. I called my bf in tears who was very supportive and told me that we would figure it out, but I just don't know what to do anymore. So here's how I have gotten to this point:
Late summer: I was doing WW (Core plan so I wasn't writing down my food) and walking/jogging everyday 1-3 miles. I went from 251 to 240 and then nothing. It was suggested to me that I wasn't eating enough.
Early Fall: The jogging exacerbated an early summer ankle injury so I started doing yoga or pilates every day. I wasn't overeating during this time, but I wasn't tracking my food either. Weight went from 240 to 238.
Fall to now: I started working with a personal trainer 2 days a week (strength & cardio - a lot of weights, but done in a way that my heart rate is always in the target zone) and cardio (usually elliptical) on the other days. In the beginning I wasn't journaling my food, but I was really watching what I was eating since I was putting out so much money on the trainer. I know that I have built muscle and gotten rid of fat. I can see those changes, but it's been 4 months with little change on the scale (238 to ~231). After the first 2 months my trainer was thinking that I probably wasn't eating enough so after many attempts at tracking in a little notebook I finally signed up on The Daily Plate. For the most part I stay on target. I have my little slips, but they are little. I have been hovering at this weight for what seems like an eternity and I am so close to saying f-it. What am I doing wrong?!
Am I eating too much? Am I not eating enough? Should I be eating more on days that I workout with the trainer? Should I be doing more cardio? I just can. not. figure. this. out! I feel like my body is some kind of combination lock and I keep trying the wrong combination.
Any help, advice, anything is appreciated. I am just ready to pull my hair out! My goal is to lose 30lbs by mid June and right now, it's not looking good.
