Hello Everyone,
Let's talk about the dreaded plateau.
You know the one that you hit after you been dieting for awhile, and well you either really slow way down or stop altogether with respect to your weight gain or weight loss.
Everyone seems to hate them, I don't, it just means that I have met one of my mini-goals and it's time to move onto the next one.
A plateau is where the goes in = goes out. Personally, it may even be a little beneficial for you body to re-gauge or get used to the balance. It's a stepping stone to the next level.
So let's re-evaluate your situation. Find out what your new BMR is, tweak the level of activity you're at, and adjust your diet a little, and set your next goal.
Tweaking your activity is not adding another 5 miles to your run or bike ride, but how about let's knock of 15 or 20 seconds from you 5 minute walk to and from the car when you get to work. Maybe it's parking a few more spaces away from the store or mall entrance, maybe its just picking up the pace a little as you walk around during the day.
It's these little things that will add up and make a difference, both with your weight loss goals, your overall fitness going down the road, and your overall energy level going forward.
Think, and do...make the change and commit yourself
Until the next post
Dan W.
