This week has been really frustrating in terms of my weight loss challenge. The scale an I are having a love/hate relationship for some reason. I'm putting in the work and the scale refuses to give me the credit.
It hasn't always been like this with us, we have been friends for the past 7 weeks, from the moment I started on this journey to zap the baby weight, I have lost as of this moment 19.4 pounds which is and incredible amount of weight I know. So what's the problem all of a sudden? why has my weight been fluctuating since I woke up sunday morning? I have been trying to figure it out for the past week and I have a theory and it called a PLATEAU!
My workout just isn't working out no pun intended. My body is probably not responding to my workouts anymore, I think. The thing is I added cycling to my routine as well as a hill routine this week, so I don't see what the problem is.
When I started my weight loss plan 7 weeks ago I did Ultimate Bootcamp (Taebo) 3 days per week for 3 weeks, along with Hills (walking at various inclines for 20 mins) 3 days per week. Then I switched to Shape Bikini Body Camp (30 min sculpt) 3 days per week for 4 weeks and also started to run 3 miles 3 days per week for 4 weeks.
This week I added cycling 3 days and hills 2 days, so I figured I should have atleast upped my weight loss. Yesterday I decided to switch my DVD workout to the 30 min cardio interval routine on the same DVD (DVD has three 30 min workouts) and cycled for 30 mins afterwards and this morning I hopped on the scale and it seemed to have worked, then afterwards I ran intervals for 3 miles on the treadmill, hopefully that will kick it up a knotch. I will keep monitoring the situation and make sure to switch up my routines to avoid disappointments.
