Frustration

I'm eating exactly on plan. The only thing I've eaten not on plan was the apple crisp I made the other night -- which was POSITIVELY sinful BTW. I have used half & half in my morning coffee to get rid of the the half & half (that I bought for Saturday night when we had company). I just cannot throw away a full 3/4 pint of half & half. It's almost gone--one more cup & it's done.

I got on the scale (somebody slap me) & it's stuck again. It hasn't gone up. I'm busting my ass with the weights. I know in my knower that I'm doing okay. I just can't get it into my knower's knower. John never took the scale out to the garage like I asked him. I need to give him a GENTLE (maybe) reminder.

I just want to see results NOW. I've been reading a lot of articles on Figure Athlete & Leigh Peel's Fatloss Troubleshoot. I know I'm doing all of the right things. It just sucks that the weight seems to want to hang on like it does.

I wish I had more time to workout. I will get that after my assistant starts next week--I just want it NOW. I'm going to do HIIT training during the day so I can do weights at night in my own home & people I work with won't be subjected to seeing me make ugly, "OMG this hurts" faces. I'm also looking forward to swimming again.

I'm finished whining. Carry on.

ETA: In reviewing my workouts for the last 10 days I can see exactly why the scale hasn't budged. Look at my workouts...I didn't do any HIIT last week. I just got back into it on Sunday with raking. I guess that is a key for me.

I did 32 minute callisthenics including: jumping jacks, burpees, push-ups, jump rope, high knees, frog jumps, prison squats, reverse lunges, butt kickers, speed skaters, step-ups, & pull-ups. Then just because I couldn't be outdone by John, I did 3 tabata intervals on the bike. My intensity probably wasn't what it could have been but I had just finished HIIT. So cut yourself some slack, okay?

This is what I want you to try. Get rid of the starch in your final starchy meal (so you're down to two starchy servings per day, preferably early in the day). Replace it with a serving of veggies (green beans, broccoli, spinach, asparagus -- a nice green veggie (not peas!!! or lima beans! those are starchys masquerading as veggies, LOL).
