PLATEAU

I hit mine. I am at 139 and holding. I have been working out so my decision is to increase work outs (hard to do with 3 kids, at home, schooling at home and getting life accomplished) or decrease eating, or both.

So I have been thinking. I do need to do a better job controlling portions. I had gotten back into eating a few sweets here or there so those have to be gone again. And as for food choices, I was lax over the weekend when the big girl turned 5!

So portion control is back in session, and exercise HAS to increase. I am going to try 2 work outs a day. One yoga/strength, and one cardio. Here's hoping that will assist me in breaking the plateau...oh and hopefully when longer days return we can go for bikes and runs outside!!!!!

What do YOU do when you Plateau?

  1. I've found that when I plateau that I'm falling back on my more coffee, less water habit. So I tally my water to make sure that I'm eating enough. I've also found that increasing my protein intake helps get over that hump - even just 1 tbsp of peanut butter a day helps.

    Maybe you're really just building muscle and you'll have a big drop later this week? You have done a great job with your workouts recently - you could be changing your fat/muscle ratio instead of losing weight.

    Are you measuring inches? What about your clothes, how do they feel?

  2. Well, I am feeling better in my clothes but I am pretty certain baking with the girls (YOUR IDEA) was not so good for me!!! Kudos to you for only eating 2. I ate like 3x that!
