Well, looking at my weight loss curve now reminds me of other times when my weight loss slowed down to a crawl.  I have no one to blame for this except myself - I have started adding sugar to the coffee, snacks composed of cranberries (sugared) and almonds, and the occasional cheese stick.  Plus, I don't think that I have been drinking enough water.  As a result, my weight loss has leveled out at 40 pounds for the last 3 weeks.  I can't blame the snow (even when I was sitting and not exercising), nor can I blame my metabolism (I work out at least 4 times a week, burning at least 400 to 600 calories per pop).  I said that it was a head game and now my weight loss curve proves it - Now is the time to get off of the snacks and drink more water.  Back up to 10 cups per day to see if I can flush this stuff away and retrieve my loss back.  This is going to send my weight loss into the summer for sure.  Gripe, gripe, gripe!!!

 

Ok, I admit that I was a bed head this morning.  I didn't make it into the gym at all.  When the alarm went off I turned it off and then rolled over and went back to sleep.  On the plus side I have been sleeping better lately - maybe a result of having lost so much weight thus far.  Anyway, it is playing havoc with my ability to get up in the morning.  The other thing is that I have not been going to bed before 10 pm most nights this week.  That is not a good thing when your alarm goes off at 4:30 am, you don't have enough time to get in your beauty sleep.  Need to change up my efforts.

Well, I kicked in some different exercises this morning to try and up my game plan.  I was surprised at how well I did considering I have been away from the weights for some time now.  I decided to get back to some of the routines that I had done over the years in the gym to get some of my strength back.  What surprised me was the amount of weight that I found that I could lift.  Maybe my body is getting used to the amount of food that I have been eating.
