And So It Goes
Hey everybody, let me tell all of you that I feel your pain and frustration. It’s disheartening to say the least when you get up the courage to step on those scales and it hardly moves from the weigh in the previous week. While overall I am still where I need and wanted to be at this stage of the program, I still have hit a wall and I can’t seem to climb over the top. Thank goodness for that huge loss the first week! I know this slow down in the process will change. It always does. Even on the nationally syndicated show, all of the contestants had off weeks. My friends who have lost weight and continue to work at it, tell me of having to fight through these times. I know I have said this before, “don’t give up”! We did not gain this overnight or over a week. The dieting changes and all of the exercise will pay off. I have cut back on my meal plan and Rob has changed my workout routine in an effort to jump start the engine again. I continue to have good workouts and I am finally seeing the difference myself in my appearance. I hit the elliptical for a 800 calorie burn at least if not more tonight. Even if we do not lose a pound, at least we did not gain any. I look forward to hearing from all you. Everyone is trying so hard. The results will come. I hope everyone has a great week and keep up the excellent work. Talk with you again on Friday.
