Well February has come and gone and my results were not the desired ones. In fact my progress bar flat lined for the month. I weighed 226 at the beginning of the month and 226 at the end of the month. I wish I could sat that I put on more muscle and lost some fat but that just isn’t the case. I am exactly the same. Now after going to the Arnold fitness Expo over the weekend I have a new found motivation level and still have the desire to keep pushing forward. I’m going to dial in my diet even more and really push through this stagnant period. My new goal is to drop below 200 by the time I go on vacation April 12th.
So how do I plan on getting there? Well that first thing is to make sure that my caloric intake is right for sustaining the types of weight loss I am looking for. Secondly I am going to somehow overcome the barrier that I seem to have with doing any type of exercise early in the morning. I want to at least get 20 minutes of cardio in each morning to get my metabolism going. Anything from walking briskly, jogging, jumping rope, or tabata.
Also going to continue taking in a ton of water and keep on my supplements. Through the month I will see where and what I need to adjust and figure out one way or another how to get these 26 unwanted pounds.

It is easy to get discourage when you hit a plateau. For me,I found sometimes that working hard did not give immediate results. Consistently increasing weight and cardio training and eating right without dropping caloric intake too low or increasing it too much too often will eventually pay off.
Even though you hit a plateau, know that you are eating better and are more fit than you were before you started this adventure. Keep it up… we’re cheering for all of you. Your sharing your experience is motivating me as well.
Hey Thanks Anne. I really appreciate your encouragement. I just have to keep pushing forward.
