Movement, finally!

As of today, I weigh 60.7kgs or 133.50lbs. For my height, which is 5'5", I am already within the ideal weight. But I still want to lose the extra 0.7kg, if I could.

Everything that I have been doing for the past 2 months have paid off. I haven't had a soda since then. I haven't binged on my favorite junk food - potato chips. And I haven't eaten any cake ever. Well, I am not really a cake eater but when it's in front of me, I sometimes cannot resist.

I have been diligent with my exercises as well. On top of my household chores, I make it a point to still exercise for at least 30 minutes. I do a little of everything - jumping rope, toning exercise, weights and yoga.

But lately, it's been hard to lose weight. For almost two weeks, my weight has not budged at all. I was 61kgs for about two weeks. At first I was puzzled. Why wasn't I losing weight? I have been careful with what I ate. I was still exercising and I was active everyday. But no matter what I do, my weight seemed to get stuck with 61. Ugh!

After a week, I was getting frustrated. Probably I should exercise more and eat a little less, I thought?

But still no movement on my weighing scale.

I finally admitted I may have reached a weight plateau. It happened to me before. So instead of focusing more on my weight, I concentrated on toning my abs, shoulders and thighs. And I slept a little more.

Hubby said, maybe 61kgs was my healthiest weight that's why I am not losing weight anymore. I thought about it. Yeah, probably. I have a less flabby arms now and my muffin tops are not visible anymore so it really doesn't matter now if I lose 1kg more. I like what I see in the mirror anyway.

This morning however, when I stepped on my weighing scale, I was surprised to see I have lost 0.3kg. Whooopppeee! That really brought a smile on my face.

I'll take it easy from now on. I am just probably over fatigued and it's one of the reason for my weight plateau.

Whether I lose more or not, I am already happy. I will just concentrate on toning my problem areas.
