After the 241 weigh-in a couple of weeks ago, I quickly dropped to 239 within the next couple of days, then crept up to 243, then dropped to 239 again, then crept up to 241 again this morning. Ugh.
Seems like I’ve plateaued again with 241 as the point I’m wavering around. I haven’t been aggressively attacking it, though. I even had my first beer since the SuperBowl on Saturday night. Just one, but it’s been the first time I’ve had any alcohol in nearly 5 months.
Overall, my eating habits the last couple of weeks have been far from stellar, though still significantly better than before I started this journey. Still, I have been eating refined (i.e. bad) carbs with greater frequency and in greater quantity than I have in previous weeks and there are a couple of meals where I pigged out a bit. So whether it’s a plateau or I just found my “maintenance” point is probably debatable. I think I’m going to leave myself a little wiggle room this week, with the holiday weekend coming up, and then get more serious about the bad carbs and quantities again come Monday.

Hang in there! Sometimes you can plateau for a week or so and then you’ll go right back to losing again…..frustrating, but just keep doing what you’re doing and the process will jump start itself again. As for me, the wedding I’ve been dieting for is this coming weekend….and just this morning, I hit my 10lb. goal with a few days to spare before Saturday! Thank God for small miracles! A few more days to eat sensibly before I devour some wedding cake! I’m in your corner and cheering you on – you can do it! Thanks for your inspiration, I’m enjoying keeping tabs thru your blog.
