So, I’m right back down to 191. I can eat until I’m sick. Can exercise until I’m exhausted. Just can’t get past it – either way.
I’m not complaining, much. I’m happy where I am. I’m wearing a size 12 – something I haven’t done since I was in high school. I’m eating a diet that works for me and helps me feel great. I’m still reverting back to almost daily exercise when I’m not in the midst of high stress/long hours away from home. I’m good. I’ve had way more success than I ever planned.
I just definitely feel as if I’m not done.
The drama on The Biggest Loser is almost too much for me to handle on any given night (depending on how much I’ve already dealt with all day long), but there’s no doubt that it’s inspiring. I saw the last girl who was voted off – Rebecca – on the Today show this morning. Have to say … after I had my “Ican’tbelieveshedidthisWHYisittakingmesoLONG” moment … she (her appearance/success) totally motivated me to keep going … (at least for today).
I CAN do this. I CAN make it past the low 190′s. It’s not rocket science. This is a battle that is just pissing me off.
Anyway, I’m excited about Thanksgiving. I like food. I like people. I like eating food with people. It’s absolutely my favorite holiday. It’s ONE day. One day of heavy eating is nothing (for me).
I’d like to do a race/walk of some kind that morning, but Jon wants to cook (with his mom) and I am NOT discouraging that, so I’d be on my own. Not a big deal, but I wonder if it would be weird/boring/depressing to go alone?
Hi! I do not comment much and I cannot even remember how I found you but I think I loved your food photos?! I am in the same boat as you right now – stuck on a certain number and it is driving me batty. However it dawned on me just recently that I was so fixated on my number that I was missing the good – while I was not losing weight per say I was suddenly looking more slender and feeling better and clothes were fitting me better. Then I remembered that a plateau is okay as long as I keep working at
it. Finally, it dawned on me that tweaking is all it takes. Trying new things and changing up what I am doing just a little bit – a tweak if you will.
DO THE RUN! It will be worth it
Anyway, you are doing a great job. Happy Thanksgiving!
I think you’re in a good place in a lot of ways, just that one more hurdle. But you’ve come so far…. So do the race/walk–what the heck–it might be fun, and it’ll buy you extra calories for the wonderful dinner they’ll cook up. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks, y’all! I do think I’m in a good place – just frustrated. I think this is the longest plateau I’ve had. I definitely need some tweaking – and maybe a little less ice cream here and there.
Happy Thanksgiving!
