The Dreaded P-Word: Plateau…

So, maybe you’re wondering how the weight loss is going?

I know that by that chart there, it looks awesome. But in the last month and a half, I haven’t lost anything. I got into the two-hundred-teens and leveled right out. I mean, it’s nice being at this weight with forty pounds less, but I’m just short of halfway toward my goal. So, what happened? Prescription drug abuse addiction. No! Why would even say that?

I can attribute this plateau to two things:

  1. Halloween candy – I hate Halloween. I used to love Halloween. Now I hate it. All that candy just lying around waiting to be eaten.
  2. Snack availability at work – I work at a place where around the fall, we have a lot of chips left over. And this year, we have flavors. I can’t begin to tell you how much I love sour cream and onion chips. I wish I could unhinge my jaw to eat them faster. So, there’s that.

I’ll get it back on track. I have a friend who is lending me her treadmill. This will allow me to add in a second walk in the evenings. I think that, combined with better diligence on the calories, should get me back where I need to be.

    You are doing a fantastic job! I will be over with Beccas treadmill on Monday evening. I hope it helps you on the downward track, again. Dont beat yourself up, though, during the holidays. As long as you dont gain, you are actually doing quite well. Keep up the good work!
