I believe that the dreaded plateau has arrived...Usually, I lose a pound every 3 days but this time, I have stopped since Sunday and I feel it...it's wierd. I know that I have been eating a few too many carbs - fat free crackers satisfy my need for something salty and crunchy, but even though they are fat free, they still tend to make me crave more carbs. So, I've eliminated the snack foods from my office and am concentrating on making sure I am getting my liquids. I had just about completely cut off drinking water over the past week, which I'm sure is a big part of the plateau.
Took some pictures this last week with my daughter and her friend in our pool - they actually came out pretty good and that's the first time I have been happy with pictures in many years!! Still don't like pictures that show my belly and in person, my arms look thin, but in pictures they still look fat to me...what is it with our brains that convince us to be so critical of ourselves? And, even though the scale hasn't changed in a week, my body is still changing because the size 10 pants I ordered and got in last week are now getting way too baggy!! I'm quickly running out of clothes!! lol
Unfortunately, I had too many errands to run last night and didn't make the spin class, but around 8pm I went out for a nice, brisk walk. What used to take me about an hour and a half now took me 45 minutes, so I am walking faster and making progress!! I'm also noticing that shirts are fitting looser and looser, so it appears that my weight is finally coming off my belly and back area instead of my rear end! I don't have much back there now, I don't need to lose any more from my lower extremities! lol
Well, enjoy your weekend....until next time!
