THE DREADED PLATEAU -

Well, I have now lost 15 pounds and today is ONE month that I have been on Debra Mazda’s program. I am very proud of myself and am trying to focus on the positive but I must admit my slight frustration - The scale is STUCK!

I am just getting over a cold, but I have been working out and eating properly and I was hoping I would have lost more. Debra assured me that the body goes through so many changes and that this sometimes happens. It is VERY easy to be tempted to stray when this happens. Also, when you are sick, and at home in bed, not working out, these nasty, evil desires begin to pop into your head such as ordering a pizza, buying cake when you go to the grocery store to get medicine, etc. But I have FOUGHT these demons in the past week thanks to Debra’s constant and ever supporting motivation she has given me. I know that next week when I get weighed in, I will have flushed all of this out of me, and hopefully be a few pounds lighter.

It is at times like this that it is SO important to remember what Debra tells us - DO NOT GIVE UP. I have worked TOO hard in this short time (that has felt like eternity haha) to ruin it now. I have a long way to go and very important goals and deadlines to meet. I am on track and feeling better and will be working SO hard in the gym this week so that I can report back to you all very soon that I have reached my next goal - 20 pounds!

Stay tuned,
