Aww boo, third week in a row without loss.

Being on a plateau for so long, thinking you are finally off it and then hopping right on another one just 5 pounds later…annoying, to say the least.

I think it’s time to step it back up a gear. I managed to break my last plateau by taking my foot off the pedal slightly, not count the calories quite so much, allow the occasional high calorie day, work out a little less. Now that’s stopped working I need to do the opposite, work out hard, count every calorie and stick to low cal days.

That’s what I am going to do for the next three weeks, because I am going away for a week after that and I will take my foot off the pedal again for that week.

Keep my body guessing. Wish me luck.

My other half and I are looking for a new house at the moment, we’ve been looking for quite some time infact and it’s a pain to be honest. I hate dealing with estate agents and so much prefer to do my searching online - it saves a lot of time and hassle.

HomeSaleDirectory.com is one of the largest online Home for Sale listings websites, based in sunny California, it’s purpose is to connect real estate buyers with sellers and home developers. There’s a huge amount of residential homes for sale that you can view right on the easy to navigate website - just select the state you are interested in from the handy map on the front page, enter a few more specific details into the search box and away you go.

I hope over the next few weeks to really push myself, like really really as it would be great if I were able to get down to my next mini goal of 12.8 before my birthday on March 20th. It was my birthday last year when I started on this journey and it would feel like a great accomplishment to be able to say that I have lost 3 stone in 1 year. I feel like I lose weight really slowly, and I do, I can go for 4 or 5 weeks working my booty off and only lose a lb..or sometimes even nothing….so I always feel down on myself, like I should be doing better, like I am not doing enough, like I could be losing faster - especially when you see other people talking about dropping weight fast on various web sites online, or watch shows like the biggest loser where they drop a stone in a week!

But when I look at it like that, 3 stone in 1 year, 42 lbs in 1 year….that seems perfectly acceptable.

That means losing 4lbs in 5 weeks however, almost a lb a week…eep, when you are a slow loser like I am that seems like an awful lot. But I am going to give it a real go

I have been coping terribly without my elliptical, I feel lost without it. Thankfully I managed to find a new one, a better one, that I have now ordered…it will be with me by Monday. Only another 3 day to go without it! There’s one thing that this has taught me though, I need to be less reliant on it…I really should change up my routine any way, I am sure doing the same thing every day (70+ interval training on elliptical) isn’t the most effective thing I can be doing. I managed to download a fitness DVD that I have been doing most nights, and have managed to at least not gain any thing. Once I have my lovely new machine I shall think about switching things up, so I am perhaps doing elliptical one night, aerobics the next etc
Here it is, it’s actually a whole 40cm shorter than my old machine…this is awesome because it really did take up a lot of room. It also has a “3 target + body fat user programmes” facility on it, I am not even sure what that means…but my old machine certainly didn’t have it
