I think I've hit the plateau. I was losing about 1/2 pound steadily almost every day. Then I was 149.5 for a few days, and then I went up (I'm not worried, you're bound to fluctuate.)
I was so excited when I got under 150 that I actually sang and jumped around (it was: boom boom boom, everybody say WAY-O!) But not losing any weight since then is a source of immediate frustration. So it looks like I have a few options. A.) Work out more (or just work out period.) B.) Eat less. C.) Both.
Steve and I talked briefly about Fat Smashing. Another 10 day journey, revisiting the origins of this blog. I think it's a good idea. It's not a long-term solution by any means. Though, I actually feel comfortable with the idea of being able to "maintain" anything I lose because of all these new recipes I've found (which I will get around to posting at some point.) So this is more of a jump-start. A way to help push us past this frustrating plateau. And I'm going to start working out as well. I used the Jillian Michaels DVD once. I should probably get some more use out of that.
Ultimately, I want to be 142, but my goal is to be 144 by June 24th. So it looks like Option C is the way to go. Once we decide on an official date to start, I will bring out the trumpets and make the announcement, re-inviting those who tried the fat smash diet the first time around to join us again. Or newbies. Anybody who needs a jump-start. 19 days til OBX.
