Stuck

For the last three weigh-ins I’ve been gaining and losing the same pound. This means I’ve officially plateaued – or perhaps stuck in a rut is more apt. I am miffed, and suprisingly for me, not overly miffed.
I went to NYC last week and though I didn’t go overboard, I did have foods I haven’t in a while, and I did enjoy some beers. I balanced that with a lot of walking. Now at home, I’m back to the usual routines and foods, and I hope I can lose some by the next weigh-in. If I don’t I’ll have to … actually, I don’t have a plan … yet.
At Slimband the nutrionist said that when we go into a plateau she’ll help us out. This help begins by documenting our meals. I so dislike doing that. There are some websites that help you do the documentation, which may make it easier. I find meal documentation a burden. I’ll pick that burden up if at the next weigh-in I haven’t lost at least two pounds. (Here’s one website that could help with record keeping: www.fitday.com.)
In NYC one of my travelling companions met a young woman who had laprascopic surgery about two years ago. She lost 130 pounds in about 18 months. She is in her early 20′s. I hope that could be true for me – but weight loss in your early 50′s is not the same as in your early 20′s. Good for her though. Really good.
Going to do some rowing now, and then a walk to try and get out of this rut.
