89 days till WDW2.0
So It's been coming on for awhile now, but it's hold seems to be iron tight now. My weight loss progress has stalled; or to put it more realistically... I've gained a depressing step back of 5 lbs. Somewhere between my sickly holidays and my getting back in the swing of it couple of weeks something happened... I stopped making progress.
Practically flat lined :(
Plateaus happen according to more educated people than me. But that doesn't stop them from being discouraging. In fact it makes every ounce creeping in the wrong direction a massive bummer. I'm not sure entirely why things have stopped moving. I've been keeping up with my good diet (aside from the occasional error), and working out has actually increased since the new year started.
According to the many things i've been googling the last few weeks... there are many reasons that these things happen:
I could just be no longer eating at the calorie intake that is appropriate for my weight loss to continue. This sucks, because I already have a hard time with where my limit is currently, adjusting it with taking my diabetes into account is something that worries me since keeping a even blood sugar level can be tricky, it can easily sway one way or the other and make me feel sick.
It could be that I've gotten too much in a rut with my work out. My body is used to the work outs that I've been doing. Although this is good for building muscles in specific areas, this does not keep my body challenged and hence the weight isn't coming off the same way as it was. Thomas is a good trainer and a great Guy, and I do like seeing defined muscle... but I don't know if I like that as much as seeing the numbers go down on the scale.
It could be related to my thyroid issues. I honestly don't know here... I feel so uninformed about how my low thyroid actually is hindering my ability to loose weight, but now that I've gotten my blood sugars under control I would have expected to actually feel a difference in the meds I'm taking. Sigh... Guess It's time to talk to my doctor again.
I suppose it all can't be rainbows and weight loss, got to get kicked down to reality every so often to appreciate things.
Now I just have to decide what things I'm going to alter about my current lifestyle to get back to that wanted weight loss... I'm starting with diet.

Got to keep doing my best and forgetting the rest, I can only control so much right? Here's hoping that I can get back to where I was and on to where I want to be. :)
