Isn't it strange how 24 hours can bring such a mental shift? Yesterday I felt on top of the world.....today I feel frustrated and fed up.
A trip onto the scales showed a gain - not a loss as I wanted and, to be honest, expected. I feel bloated and uncomfortable and just generally fed up with the whole thing. I feel like I'm failing and I could understand a gain if I was eating all the wrong things and gorging myself but I'm really not. In fact, I feel I'm eating better than I was a month or so ago when I was losing well. I could also cope with the scales going the wrong way if I felt more toned...I've been there before, but I' don't. I feel huge. My clothes feel tight. I just don't get it. I'm going to weigh in again tomorrow just in case it is left over from aunt flo. Whatever the scales say tomorrow though I will log.
Aunt Flo has all but gone now so I can no longer put this down to her visit....I'm at a bit of a loss and the thing that really narks me is that this is always how things seem to go. I lose fairly easily to begin with but then, despite eating in the same way, the loss grinds to a halt and reverses into gains. Well this time I HAVE to find some way around it.
My immediate plan is to change the way I track my points. I've been using my WW organiser which is nifty but it's not easy to keep a track of what you've eaten - just the points. It's good for working points out too so I'll still use it for that. I'm going back to a good old pen and paper so I can really keep a handle on what I am eating and look back day to day or even week to week to see if there are any trends that I can learn from.
I'm being chauffeured around again today - no need to walk to school - and so my plan is to fit my yogalates DVD in later on today. I've got soup on the menu for lunch that I am going to make later on this morning and I havent' christened dinner yet but I'm thinking it will either be veggie chilli or lentil and veg curry.
Ooooh for those of you that ask about the chickens - a great step forward! We're now pretty much over the moulting and have been getting 3 eggs for the last two mornings!!! Clever girls!!!

It's so frustrating to hit a stall! Hang in there...maybe you body just needs a little time to readjust...a set point to break through? Is this a weight that you've spent time at in the past? Just try some new things to wake up and shake up your metabolism by trying a few different things for a week -- water, water, water too!

Stalls are always hard on our motivation but try to remain positive. You've done so well already. Have you tried zig-zagging your points? You could also try adding some cardio to your exercise routine. Yogalates is great for stretching and toning but nothing kicks up the metabolism and burns calories like a raised heartrate. I am sure you will find your way out of this plateau soon. Good news about the chickens! What lucky birds to have found a wonderful home with you :)

I'm with you though, I think writting it down may help. I think going back and see what you've eaten is crucial. I know when I was journaling everything it was very helpful to look back on. Hang in there. You just may need to tweak it a bit.

Thanks for your support girls. I think writing it down will certainly help......evelyn, I've been doing so much more walking this last week being without a car so I was hoping that would help.....
Oh well, the soup is cooking as I type..... thanks again :)
