A breakthrough
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Well, it appears I have finally broken through the floor of my plateau. At one point this week, I broke into the 207 range. That shows me hope that I am not destined to be forever at 208! Now, I did jump back around from day to day, but it is not as high as it used to be.
This week I made it to two Body Pump classes at the gym and I started running around my neighborhood. I remember when I used to try to run in my neighborhood I could not make it up the hill at the end of my street without stopping and walking a part of the way. Now, I blast past that imaginary wall that used to exist. My stamina has increased and I can already tell that my fat mass is slowly being replaced by muscle mass. Even if that means I am not losing weight at the same rate I was, I know that the pounds will be easier to keep off with less fat & more muscle in my body.
This weekend I have all of my in-laws coming to town. Luckily, I like my in-laws (plus they read this blog regularly) so I will be able to spend a lot of time with them and they can help me stick to the script!
P.S. Easter time is here & jelly beans are the devil! Little hard sugar coated balls of jelly Satan. I can’t eat just a couple of them!! Help me if someone brings me a Cadbury cream filled chocolate Easter egg!
