plateau |plaˈtō| verb ( -teaus, -teaued, -teauing) [ intrans. ] I swear this is straight out of the Webster's Dictionary. I was wondering what was wrong with me. The scale hasn't changed, but I am still working out and playing more tennis than usual. The number on the scale should motivate me , not make me want to hide from my trainers. I feel like I've wasted three weeks of my precious time with my team. I believe the main reason for my plateau is nutrition. I have done an okay job of staying in my calorie goal, but I think I need to lower that even further now that my body is use to this routine. I need to manually start it once again. This means less of the things I love and have not wanted to give up, like wine and diet coke with regular cherry syrup. I have become complacent with myself. I was losing weight without changing some of my eating habits and was satisfied with that. Well I'm not satisfied any longer! I have worked too hard to get this far to not go all out and take off several more pounds. I will change how I am eating, I will cut those calories further and I will treat myself after I reach those goals, not before, not during, but AFTER! It's time to get tough on myself. I can do it, just watch the incredible shrinking woman at work! I can't say thinak you enough to Skin RN, Maryland Farms YMCA or the BHP for giving me this opportunity!
