Current Weight: 279.6
Can we say plateu? I have hit a major plateu for the past 10-days or so. I am trying my best to not become discouraged and frustrated and I can honestly say that it is taking some work to do so! I have consistently had a loss throughout my entire weight loss journey beginning in January 2010. So, the fact that the scale did not reflect a loss this week was discouraging to say the least. I knew that I was on a plateu because my home scale was not budging. I am keeping the faith and continuing to do what I know works.
I do need to increase my water and increase my exercise. I have been doing that over the past week but to be honest I have been half-a**ed about it. I really need to kick it up a notch and get serious about things. I feel like a broken record saying this and perhaps this is God's way to help me get serious... nothing like frustration and a plateu to cause you to do the "other things" that we know we need to do! I really need to stop drinking coffee too. Don't get me wrong I am not saying that coffee is evil or bad or anything like that. It is just for myself coffee has essentially taken the place of any and all beverage that I partake in, ie all I am drinking is coffee. I need to drink my water and so, I need to kick the coffee habit. I have said this several times and once this current pot of coffee is gone (today) I will really try to be a woman of my word and stop the coffee!!! (prayers are always welcomed).
The picture I am posting is that of me in my size 18 dress (woo-hoo). I can wear 18 dresses but pants need to be a bit bigger. I will be thrilled when I am in size 18 pants =). All in all, life is great and I know that I will break this plateu. I am taking it as a sign... I know there are things that I still need to get serious about and I have been struggling hard with just doing them. It seems so easy at face value... just do it!!! When it comes to putting things into action I just seem to crash and burn. I need to return to my motto which has helped me to get this far... One Day at a Time. I can choose to do what I need to do and do it one day at time. This is my plan!
Thanks for all your support, prayers and encouragement. I

Brenda, good that you are aware of the water intake that you need to increase. I love my coffee, too, but your posting really helped me realize I need to watch that, too. Keep up the good work!
