Plateau
So in the last month - I am finally down to 179, right before TTOM struck me this week. I finally started getting some progress again when I gave up beer for a week and then started working out every day for 20 min a day, while continuing to do weights 3 times a week. I feel bad about just maintaining for the past month - it's been frustrating, like the body is resisting the weight loss after having dropped so much weight. I keep going - I keep working out. I am so pleased with my progress and I am NOT going to let myself get that fat again.
Issues - this week, I had to work on the ostomy module so hard that that is what made necessary the drop in time that I spent at the gym this week. I did work 5 days this week. I thought I was going to have a 4 day weekend, but ended up working a half day yesterday and then for the peds home care agency today. so I end up with a normal, but busy weekend. Oh well. That's life I guess.
