Where does the time go?
Sorry for not posting lately...time is flying so fast that I'm trying to keep up. I actually have a few minutes to post something today before I get ready for playgroup.
I am really frustrated w/my lack of weight loss lately. I have not lost a pound in over 2 weeks and I feel like I'm stuck. I eat as good as I can and I exercise as much as I can. I have had to quit high impact exercises so I'm doing elliptical and bike machines (or spinning class when I can). I'm still doing my weight classes. And, I know, muscle weighs more than fat, but don't you think I should be LOSING the fat??? It's so frustrating. I feel like I'm a hamster on an exercise wheel, running and running but not going anywhere. It makes me want to quit this whole thing!
I go to the doc in a couple of weeks. I will try to get some answers from him but I'm not holding out hope for that. Part of me is bracing for the fact that this is just my stupid body's lack of metabolism but the other part of me is hoping that there is a medical reason I'm not losing weight faster.
Anyway, I've said all this to conclude that the only thing I can do today is keep on keeping on. Eat right and keep moving. I'm not gaining weight, which is good. I can only do what I know God wants me to do. It is for His glory that I do this at all. It is His strength that I have. He is telling me that this is NOT in vane. He is telling me that what I'm doing is right even if it feels like it's not doing any good.

I've lost 30 lbs and have not moved a half a pound for over a month. Do not get discourages, sometimes our bodies need soem time to adjust. I know to break a plateau they say you have to do something new, kind of trick the bodys...have not figured out what it is for me.
Try not to get too down. Have the doc check your thyroid...maybe that's contributing. Also try switching some things up. Sounds like you're in a big plateau and you need to confuse your body a little...change up your work-outs as much as you can (if your gym has yoga or pilates try that out-they can be amazing work-outs and much different than what you're currently doing). Just keep at it!
