Good news and bad news.
Which do you want first?
No weight gained, but none lost either.
This is the second week in a row that I've maintained my current weight.
While I'm grateful I haven't gained anything, I'm frustrated with this plateau. I have a goal of being under 200 pounds before January 20, 2012, Baby Cee's first birthday. I don't care if I'm at 199.9999 pounds. I just want to see a 100 on the scale versus a 200.
As of today that means I need to lose 30 more pounds in four months. That is totally doable. I just need to get strict with myself again. I have been anything but strict lately. Skipping workouts and eating chocolate covered pretzels isn't exactly "dedicated". It's time to change things up.
Blah. I hate change.
Joe and I decided to start P90X today. I read over the material last week and we even did the Fit Test to make sure we "qualified". I barely qualified, but qualify I did.
I'm afraid I don't have the most positive attitude in starting P90X. It just seems brutal and brutal isn't for me. But I need to do something different and the program is already sitting in my house. Might as well use it. Plus, Joe said he would do it with me and I will do just about anything to get him on board with this get-healthy journey.
Funny thing is, we were supposed to start today and he headed out of town on a business trip. Looks like it's just me and good ol' Tony Horton. Ugh.
Here I go. Hold me to it! Today is the day I finally start P90X.
(I have my "before" pictures but I'm only willing to show those side by side with the "after" pictures.)

I was looking at your goals on the side and you are doing so GREAT! I have plateaus! They are the worst part of the journey, but I am sure you will keep moving forward!
You're doing great! Keep it up!
Evelyn, you are doing awesome! I find you so inspiring and, geesh, super brave! P90X...it terrifies me.
On a side note, have tried Pilates? I've been doing Pilates for years and I love the way my body feels when I've been doing it. I don't know if it will help with your plateau, but I think you'll like it.
Love ya!
Maintaining, for me, is harder than the losing (sometimes). :)
So I just have to say that 50 lbs in 6 months is awesome!! I know it's really frustrating to get stuck in plateaus but I just know that I would feel like a superhero if I lost 50 in 6. You're amazing!
I like the way you set your goals too. One thing at a time. Fabulous.
