Well I've hit that point, the part that everyone hates. You work so hard, and you're losing like a pound a day, and then, bam! Your progress comes to a screeching halt. Enter the dreaded plateau. For maybe 3 weeks, my weight has stayed between 155 and 158 lbs, despite my efforts. I tried lifting for a couple days and that didn't seem to help either. I guess my body has just gotten used to the workouts. Then I remembered that here and there, I'd been slipping in some not so healthy foods. My appetite is the thing that got me in trouble in the first place. This whole thing was really starting to piss me off, especial since I had weekly goals in small steps. I went to well known Beachbody coach, Chelsea Blush for help, at my rope's end. She asked me if I had been eating from the top two tiers of Michi's Ladder. That made me stop and think. I had been eating whatever was in the fridge that didn't look like it was bad. These things weren't terrible, but they weren't super healthy either. I couldn't go into month 2 of Insanity like this. I don't drive yet, and I would have to wait for my parents to have a free weekend off with me so they could take me food shopping. I refused to wait on that possibility. Instead, I asked a friend to take me to Trader Joe's, and I offered to pay for gas. Well we went, and I brought $145 worth of healthiness and I couldn't be happier. Now, armed with clean foods, and month 2 of Insanity and Zumba along with it, I am determined to break plateau. Last I checked, I was 155.6 and I'm 11 lbs behind in my weekly goals. =\ I don't know how I'll catch up to that by the end of November, which is when I'm supposed to make my complete goal. Now remember, it's not going to be that easy, since I travel for work. I can only do workouts I've brought with me once I get to the hotels. I lose days in between while on the road. I have my secret weapon, Metamucil on my side. No, I'm not abusing it, I just drink a glass a day and I'm less tempted to stuff myself with garbage, let alone stuff myself at all. So let's hope the clean eating works, along with my hard work. I can't stand to be stuck another week!!
