Kickin' it into high gear!

The past 3 months have been rough. My weight has gone down ever so slightly and bounced up and down a bit, basically I've been stuck. Trainer Frank did my body fat measurements yesterday and I'll admit that I was disappointed to discover that I've lost less than 1% BF in 3 months. It's time to mix things up! I'm dropping my calories from 1800 per day to 1600 per day and I'm really evaluating what I am eating with those calories. I must battle the emotional urges to eat...this is the most difficult thing for me...by far! I am kicking up my cardio as much as I can and continuing with my weight training 3x per week.

The past 2 days have been awesome! Calories good...exercise good! Today's cardio was 30 min on the treadmill and 15 on the elliptical. Kept my heart rate up, worked up a good sweat and managed a 6 minute jog...best time yet! Go me.

We are going on a family vacation in less than 3 weeks. I am going to buckle down and bust it between now and then. I would like to see some pounds dropping off again! I will be staying on plan and working hard on vacation...but we all know it's difficult to be perfect when traveling for 8 days and eating on the road.

I'm ready to break through this plateau...and I will!
