A REAL Plateau *UGH*

Jul 16, 2009

So I have been stuck for the past week and a half at 185 (or there abouts....depending on whether or not I pee before I weigh myself).

Its kind of a pain in the ass. I'm not really depressed, more a little upset that the scale isnt moving. I think its because I can see the body changes in me. I am wearing clothes I haven't seen in 10 years, people at work are noticing, and whenever I get too upset over it, I try something on in a smaller size at home or window shopping. That helps me a lot. Reminds me that the fat has been lost, and now I am building muscles.Which I need.....constantly. But it upsets me because there is still more fat I would like to lose.

I am also reminded too that I can work more, and still run errands or hang out with friends after work, something I did not feel like doing 99.9% of the time before surgery. Gaining that back is priceless....well, maybe a little less priceless than my health....but close  

I wanted to be at 170 (my teams goal weight for me) by 8-5-9 which is when I follow up with the surgeon. I dont think I am going to hit it, but I will be damned if I dont try. I'll put more effort into hitting 10,000 steps a day and I will try rollerblading this weekend. God help us all.

I am still shooting for an overall goal of 140. And I think I can do it. No. I know I can do it. So what if it takes a couple extra months? It will be worth it in the long run. And these struggles will help me maintain this better lifestyle for the next 80 years. (Yes, I plan on living to be 107) haha
