I'm pretty sure I've reached my first plateau as I've been hanging out pretty close to the same weight for a few weeks now. Since my exercise levels have increased quite a bit over the past couple of months, I know it's even more important that I keep my calories up where they should be. To help, I've decided to start incorporating protein powder into my diet. I'm trying to get a better balance between protein/fat/carbs. I think I'm trending a little too heavy on the fat side- mostly because I LOVE avocado, feta, and extra sharp cheddar. Also not helping matters and likely contributing to my plateau- I'm not getting enough fluids because I ran out of my carbonation for my soda stream. I can't stand drinking non-bubbly water. I know, it seems weird but I honestly have a negative psychological association where drinking plain water makes me feel sick. Bubbles I can do- no flavors- just bubbles, I'll be getting some new CO2 tomorrow, yay! It's the little things. Long story short, I'm really hoping that these modifications, increasing protein, keeping calories up to support exercise and getting back to drinking my water will get me past this plateau. I really, really want to get into the 150's before my birthday in two weeks. I can do this!!!
