Plateau or not to Plateau...
Jan 28, 2009
Well obviously if it is my choice I would choose NOT to plateau... But it seems that is where I am at! Since my last blog on the 15th I have only lost 2 pounds... I was worried that maybe I was eating too much and that is why I wasn't losing so I started measuring out EVERYTHING and writing down every bite of food that I am putting in my mouth! As I have been measuring foods since Sunday I am releived to see that I really am eating ok portions! My nurse clinian said that I should be at 1/4 cup for a meal at 3 months and by 6 months I should be at 1/2 cup. I am pretty much at 1/4 cup, but I have been getting hungrier lately. So I think that is ok, but I am going to touch base with Darla to make sure!Also I can't get in enough protein! I feel like I am shedding constantly! Luckily I do have a really thick long hair...but if I lose hair like this continuously I won't forever!!! I hear that it grows back too, so I am trying not to focus on that! Every time I run my fingers through my hair ,I ALWAYS have a couple strands...but usually more than a few!! For protein I am eating lots of albacore tuna lately and chicken and beef roast. None of that really tastes very good to me. I am still wanting to just eat veggies all the time! Mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, carrots, cauliflower??? What's up with that? I don' know!
I am thinking/hoping that my body just needs some time to catch up with the 115 pounds I have already lost and will be back to losing soon! I upped the water and workouts so wish me luck! If you have any tips let me know!!! :)
