I need to make a few changes.

I am feeling a little frustrated with myself these last few days.

I've been working really hard.

I have picked up where I left off before our trip.

And I have reverted to eating Primally.

I feel good.

But I don't feel like I am getting smaller...  I feel like my size is staying the same, I have been this size since about June.  I have not weighed myself in almost 2 months.  I am due to weigh and measure tomorrow, and I am not expecting a gain or a loss...  I am almost certain of this, as there has been no change at all in the way that my clothes fit me...  If  anything - my shorts are a little tighter.  :(

This frustrates me.  So, I've decided to go back to journaling my food in My Fitness Pal.  I hate journaling - almost more than anything else.  I hate that I have to tie myself down, and spend so much time figuring my food intake/building recipes...  It annoys me.  But I need to lock in on why I am spinning my wheels.

I've also decided that I am keeping the 30 Day Shred in my life for a few more weeks.

On top of that, I think I am going to go back to my New Rules of Lifting for Women weight lifting routine.  Which means - I need to start all over at Level 1 - but that's OK.  I feel like I am getting stronger with what I am doing on my own - but I don't feel like I am pushing myself hard enough and I am being a little too relaxed.  I think if I put myself back on a *real* routine - I may be able to push past this.

I am all for losing size slowly, and gaining muscle mass slowly - but with virtually no gains/losses over the last few months, clearly - I need to adjust things.

I also think I need to knock out some of my potato intake - for the time being.  I don't need to cut them out completely, but I was up to nearly 1 per day, and I think that might be too much for now.  So, I am going to try to limit potatoes to only a few per week.

I'd really like to be down another size by the holidays.  And I'd really like to be closer to my goal size by next summer.

  1. You look amazing. I totally get having to stay on a routine. It is easy to slack if you are not following a set routine. DH and I work out together we are following HASfit's 90 day warrior workout but it is hard on the days when i want to take a spin class with friends since it throws off DH's workout routine. Or if one of us is sick- then the other person has to decide do they take a day off or what routine do they do?
