Well I am officially going through a plateau of some kind and hit a wall. Pretty sure it’s because I’m getting closer to my goal weight and have been hungrier lately.
The smaller I get, it feels like I’m hungrier and hungrier. Maybe I’m imagining it. Maybe I just want to maintain already and sabotaging myself. Definitely eating too much on the weekends which has always been my weakness. I’m currently kind of bouncing up a small amount and then dropping it again. I’m technically still losing but it is at a very slow pace. I tracked it and in the past 2 months I’ve lost about 6ish pounds. Before, I was losing 8 lbs per month.
Last weekend and the weekend before we celebrated mothers day. There was a huge party celebrating moms and all of the men cooked a huge meal. It was so sweet but wow. I bet there were a ton of calories. They had beef, chicken, beans, rice, as well as pasta salad with mayo. Plus, they also had 3 types of cake for dessert!😱
So, this week I did finally lose a bit. It came to 0.6. Last week, 0.2. Another week is here and I will focus on trying to lose at least a full pound next time! To help me out, I am going to participate in a mileage challenge I saw in my hiking group on facebook. I’m going to challenge myself to walk/hike/jog 500 miles from now through October/November. I’m not going to be too strict on it as in the past I’ve gotten sick and life happens, but it’s just something fun to motivate me to continue.
I’d “like” to be at close or at my goal weight by then as well but…with how things are going now, it will probably take longer. I wanted to practice maintenance through the holiday season. Like I said, it will be a casual goal. As long as the scale continues downward over time, I am happy. That’s all for now. I also included some photos from my mothers day celebrations. My family was very sweet 💐
Have a great weekend!
