Ok…I’m still at a Plateau! The scale just refuses to budge. I’ve checked with my measuring tape and I haven’t lost any inches. In the past this is the time when I would have given up. I mean here I am working out religiously every day. Eating all of the right foods and the scale won’t budge and I’m not losing inches. In the past this would have been my excuse to say Hey! If I"m not going to lose weight doing all the right things then why bother???…. But, now I’ve got a very positive attitude and, I consider myself a Goddess and, Goddesses don’t give up on themselves:-) I know that if i stick with this day in and day out I will see results. And, even though the scale isn’t moving right now and even though I’m not losing inches…I am improving my health by working out everyday. I’m improving my endurance and I’m making a difference in my over all health and body. Giving up is not an option for me. So, if it takes 2 more months being here at this PLATEAU I’m not giving up!

Today started out badly, I just felt like…crap…but, as I was doing my workout…I just stopped thinking negativly…I started thinking about all the positives that are ahead of me and, my workout just seemed easier…It’s so easy to think about the negatives…But, there is so much to be positve about….Like the fact that I’m able to get up every day and make a change in my life. There are so many people who are MUCH bigger than I am. People who can’t walk b/c of their weight. People who wished that they were the size that I am right now. I need to be thankful for where I am and what I’ve accomplished. If it weren’t for all the hard work that I’ve put in…I could still be at 312lbs..which was my highest weight…Instead of just "wishing" that I was a size 10. I just need to workout and eat right everyday to make that a reality. Everytime I find myself getting down or thinking that I have it worst than anyone else. Something always click in my head to remind me that ….that’s not true…The grass always looks greener on the other side. It’s up to us to be happy with ourselves right now… to make a positive change in our bodies. So, yes right now I’m at a plateau but, I know I’m going to work through it. I know that I will be thinner by my birthday. I know that I will succeed!!!!

My workout today on the treadmill was ugh!!! So, hard…but, I did 80 mins anyway and then went on to do an hour of Tae-bo and then 30 mins of Pilates…I’m so glad that I’m done b/c the whole time I was working out I wanted it to be over…..

Ok, I’m still at my Plateau!!! I hate this part of losing weight. It’s like you workout everyday….Eat all of the right foods…And, the scale just stays the same…I know that it will go down eventually in time but, it’s this waiting that’s Killing me!!! I know that I have to stay focused and keep on doing what I”m doing but, In the past being at a plateau this long would have been reason enough for me to go off on a huge food binge. I’ve stayed strong and I will continue to stay strong until this plateau passes…I’m not going to let anything stop me from keeping my eyes on the prize. I will reach my goal no matter how long it takes.
