Five Pounds, Five Months: Breaking Through the Plateau

If you're having plateau problems, I feel bad for ya son. I got 99 problems...

Wait, no. Just kidding.

It has literally taken me five months to lose five pounds. My last post was before Easter.

I quickly realized I couldn't keep doing the same song and dance to shake this weight.

Instead of eating whatever I wanted, within my calorie range, and doing cardio, I had to do more.

Eating clean... No bread, cheese {my first real love}, pasta, and sweets {my mistress}.

Training mean... Upping the cardio {my drug of choice}, adding strength training {my frenemy}, and stopping with the excuses.

And I am so, so good at excuses.

When I finally put myself on Lock Down, I got the job done.

My Teletubby Recap:

Side note: My picture at 160-- that's what all of my yearbook photos look like. Scared shitless.



And here is the 30lb comparison.

What is sad is the fact that I wore these pants at 170 in public. Like every day. With a baggy t-shirt, I didn't think they looked that tight.

That's how I know Chris is a chubby-chaser loves me. Because he never said anything. :)

But seriously, if you're stuck in the same spot... Try doing something different. Clean up your plate, switch up your cardio, and even try a work out DVD.

I'll be done with The Shred at the end of this week... and I'll talk about it more next week, but it has really helped me push through this plateau. Also, everyone that I have met through this little blogging community as been so encouraging. We all need to be guilt tripping motivating each other.

Come slap the Chips Ahoy! out of my hand.

So with that... Today is Monday. No better day to start on a new plan. :)
