F/58/5'6"/SW162 / CW148/GW 132 CICO, NO ALCOHOL, IF. WALKING, YOUTUBE WORKOUTS AND RESISTANCE BANDS
I started my weight loss journey 7/30/2020. I lost five pounds by August 30 and another five by September 30. It seemed so logical and straightforward.
Then October happened. I continued with the same eating plan, drinking plenty of water, getting a good amount of sleep, but the scale stayed the same.
In mid-October I went to a wedding. I did not adhere to my plan for three days, but I didn't go crazy either. I had a couple of beers at the rehearsal dinner, champagne and wine at the wedding and a Bloody Mary the morning after. I ate a modest portion of the wedding dinner (pasta) and one wedding cupcake. At the wedding breakfast I ordered Eggs Benedict but ditched the English muffin. I ended up only eating half of my order for other reasons.
When I got home on Monday, I gave myself a couple of days of clean eating and exercise before stepping on the scale on Wednesday. To my dismay, I was up six pounds. I went to the doctor the next day and weighed even more according to his scale. I felt terrible and had a mini-meltdown.
I doubled down on exercise, upped my water intake and tried not to think about the scale. Halloween came and went. I didn't eat even one piece of candy. My daughter's birthday was this past weekend and we had my mom and sister over (typical covid party). I made a huge veggie platter in addition to the usual snacks and put out a bowl of almonds.
The scale has been stuck at 149 the last few times I've stepped on it, which hasn't been often.
Today I weighed myself and it registered 148!!!
Finally, I feel like I'm back on track and it's a great feeling.
Good luck to everyone who is united in this journey, but especially to those who are on a plateau. Patience pays off! Eventually you will break through.
