Okay I have been honest with myself, and there are two motivating factors behind this triathlon thing-y:
1. Is to say I did it!
2. Weight loss, i.e FINALLY looking good (again) in a bikini!
So I have to say, I am so happy with all the other aspects of my training. I feel good (tired...but good), I am motivated, I LOVE training, I am eating better and moving MUCH more, by why is that DAMN scale not M-O-V-I-N-G!! (I don't you dare say ..."But your gaining muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat...phoey) Tell that to that roll around my middle! (Okay, so the brownies and Magic bars, and Easter treats today...not so good! But other than that I have been REALLY good.)
I know blah, blah blah,...
So here's what did this week:

ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons you may be at a plateau with weight loss is with the increase of activity you've thrown your metabolism into a tail spin and it's storing energy. That will sort itself out...
