Once again, I have fallen off of my blogging band wagon. Same on me!
Yes, I am still working on my weight loss journey and have had some success and not so much at the same time. I am stuck in the dreaded plateau hell for sure. I heard that there really is no such thing as a plateau. "You are just not paying as much attention as your were before" is what I hear from the people which know what they are talking about. I know this: The scale has not really moved in almost 5 months. Have been up and down with in a five pound range so I guess this could be called maintenance time. Yet, I still restrict my calorie intake and have strongly ramped up my workout and exercise routine. So why no loss? I do not know but I think it is a mental thing!
There has been progress though. I am pretty much a solid 2XL shirt now. Remember when I started and I was at a 6X? My pant size is currently a 46 which is down from I have no idea, but I would estimate my waist was in the 70 range (YIKES). I have a 3X Pink Floyd shirt which I thought I would never get into again and when I put it on and it it fit ok (not perfect, a little small), and this is that point where I feel like I might be able to get into an extra large shirt (Depending on the maker). Might feel like that PF shirt. I did purchase a goal pair of jeans, size 44 waist. Unless I start to drop some pounds, it might be a while before that happens.
The exercise is rocking! I continue to challenge my self each and every day and workout. My goal for now is to walk an extra mile, 5 days a week, on top of what I am doing at the gym. It might be a walking the dog type of situation but as long as I can hit that mile, I am pretty happy. Have really piled on the weights as well at the gym. I am looking for heavy and more intensity in my workouts.
No rants for now. I feel good and strong! But I need for the pounds to start coming off again.
Going to work out this mental thing real soon!!
I am a beast now!
