I have been at a weight loss plateau for what seems like forever now. I want this weight to come off now!!! Why is it taking so long??? Seems like I hit the 25lb mark and cannot lose anymore. I have SO much more to lose. I have been hitting the gym and watching what I eat. I have even asked the trainer at the gym to write up a plan for me. I will pick it up tomorrow and see what it is that he is suggesting for me to do. Hopefully it will jump start my weight loss again. I need to do this!!! Does anyone else have any suggestions on what might help me?
Tomorrow is Weigh In Wednesday so I will be back to let you know how I made out. Until next time, stay strong and eat healthy.

Wednesday's Weigh in.....
Yesterday went well. I weighed in and was down another pound. I really thought I would have lost more but hey, at least the scale went down. Workouts are going well and I am waiting for the trainer to design a plan for me so that I can get in more weight training. I know that when I consistently start doing weights that my weight will come down faster.
I am thinking of doing a 5k in June. There is one in April that my co-workers are talking about but I don't think I'll be ready in time for that one. I am wondering if I am just making excuses. I mean, I don't have to run the entire time since it will only be my first race. I am just nervous. I will have to see how my workouts go at the gym.
Well, its off to get some breakfast. I think I will have some oatmeal and some fruit or maybe a bagel with some peanut butter. Hmmmmm...decisions, decisions.
Until next time, stay strong and eat healthy.

So far So Good
This is going to be a quick post as I have some work that needs to get done. Just wanted to say that this day has started out well as far as food is concerned.
I ate two waffles topped with Almond Butter, Chia Seeds, and Greek yogurt. I had a cup of coffee and some water. For lunch I plan on having some chicken salad and some crackers. I will have to find something for my snack because at this time I don't have anything healthy around. I am planning on doing some exercise this evening. So far, so good.
Until next time stay strong and eat healthy. Oh yeah, is anyone going to FitBloggin'? I'd like to go, but just don't know if its in the budget this year.

Super Bowl Sunday And Other Ramblings
Well Hello....ok, wait....is anyone still reading my blog? I know I haven't posted in awhile. I was down and out with bronchitis! No fun at all. I am finally getting back on my feet. I missed a whole week of exercise and let me tell you that I REALLY did miss it. I never thought I'd be so happy to get back to the gym.
My eating has been ok although I have not counted points or tracked the way that I should have. I did however, keep myself aware of what I was putting in my mouth. I went out to dinner with friends and made sure to look at the menu online before I went so that I could make a healthy choice. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with avocado and some sweet potato fries. AND...I drank water!!!!! Yippee!!! No soda and no alcohol. I did have dessert though because they have the oreo cookie ice cream that I just love. I felt very satisfied after my meal. I didn't feel overly full and I was feeling guilty for eating dessert.
I have not been to a Weight Watcher meeting in about three weeks now. I WILL be going this week and I will let you know the results. I don't think that I have gained any but I don't feel like I have lost what I wanted either. Oh well, I will find out on Wednesday.
I am thinking of signing up to run a 5k in June on Father's Day. It just makes me nervous because I am NOT a runner. I had gotten up to about the 4th week (I think) of the Couch to 5k program before I started doing other things at the gym. I think I am going to try to give it another shot. I asked the trainer at the gym to make up a plan for me. I will see what he comes up with and let you know how I am making out.
So, its off to get ready to enjoy the Super Bowl. I am routing for Pittsburgh since Philly got knocked out. Until next time, stay strong and eat healthy.
