A Brick Wall

I feel like I've hit a brick wall with my weight loss.

People usually call it a "plateau."

I knew it would come, but I didn't expect it so soon.

I didn't lose as much as I expected and/or wanted to lose from last week's efforts.

In fact, I only lost 1/2 a pound.

I've asked myself,

"What did I do wrong?."

Did I overindulge last weekend for Easter? Probably.

Did I not work out enough these past few days?  Maybe.

Has my body gotten used to the workouts I've been doing?  Possibly.

Am I eating enough on my "clean" days? Absolutely.

Am I drinking enough water?  Yes.
With all that running through my head,

I've decided to:

*continue my running programs

*continue lifting weights

*continue working on my abs

*continue walking with the twins

*start doing yoga twice a week for flexibility and weight loss.

*start P90X 

Maybe the muscle confusion will help.

I am thankful that I did lose weight from last week.

It's a small loss, but it's better than a gain.

I know I'll get to my goal weight eventually.

I just have to believe that I can and be relentless in my efforts.
In the past when I hit these "walls," I often felt very discouraged.
It's usually the time I decide to give up and say things like,
"Why am I even trying?."
No more of that thinking for me.
I'm tired of being fat.
I'm tired of being "tired." 

I'm doing this for myself.

I'm doing this for my family.

I'm doing this because my life has and will continue to be more  enjoyable  and  worthwhile.

I CAN and I WILL do this.

A big thank you for those who have been supporting me, and welcome to my new followers and readers.
