Plateau

Everyone who has ever attempted to diet understands the title of this post.  As hard as you work, as mentally tough as you are, it is difficult to avoid a plateau.  Unfortunately, like many others, I could not avoid it.  I began my lifestyle change on a rapid pace.  I was eating much less, trying to exercise, and I was getting the results that I had hope for.  I began on January 7th and by March 23rd I had dropped 35lbs.

I was happy with the progress and got complacent.  I was lazy and felt like I deserved to eat a little more food.  I have still maintained a smaller portion size and cut out full calorie pop, but that isn't enough.  I have not been exercising, eating more junk, and slowly reverting back to my old ways.

Today this must change.  I need to get back to logging in my food diary, exercising every day, and living a healthier life.  If this happen, I can reach my goal of 75lbs lost by August.  I am ready to dominate!
