I am so grateful I decided to treadmill for cardio and cholesterol rather than weight loss or I'd really be in a psychotic frustrated funk after three weeks in a row of no weight loss.
Yay me - I've reached the age in life that I no matter what I eat I don't lose a pound.
Not to worry - haven't lost my faith or focus. All is still well in Bellawood.
I've increased my portions adding 400-500 cals a day this week and haven't gained either. I'm planning to continue this intake level for a couple of weeks to a month but still stepping on the scale daily for damage control awareness. If all goes according to plan I will then decrease portions when my body seems ready to release some more weight.
I did do the indulgence / spike day (yes, Keld ~~ hold the Nelson laugh ~~ I 'ate unhealthy' the right way, LOL, if prime rib, ice cream, chocolate syrup and peanut butter cookies count) but no change.
I'm not attempting any intermittent fasts right now because I am still in recovery from a lifelong eating disorder. Starvation comes easy to me having learned it as a teenager and need to stay off that slippery slope.
Either my upper body strength improved allowing me to streeeeetch that denim waist on the thrift store jeans I bought back in Nov or my waist did whittle a bit a little as I was able to button & wear them yesterday.
Dumb though. Two months of trying them once a week only to find they were 'hi waist mom jeans' and I had to move ... uhm... oh, well, it is my journal, I had to move my concealed handgun to the small of my back yesterday because when I sat at my desk it kept bumping my boob. (sorry)
Well, I need to go out to the LifeSpan website and finally enroll my treadmill & design my preferred personal workout. All this time it was still at the factory setting: a 30 year old 6'7" person weighing 150lbs. As IF! I refuse to use the 'Fartlek' program though ~ yes, I'm still immature enough to laugh at that.
This morning a friend and I were discussing some cool 'altered reality' type glasses to wear on my walk. He suggested a nice sunny walk in the forest theme. The thought of that made me want to mosy. I'm thinking I need a 'in the bad neighborhood being followed by a weirdo' theme.
I'm sure there's a 'fight or flight' analysis there but I'll explore that another time.
Thank you for reading and hope you all have a great weekend.
Bella

Ahh! Those jeans fitting (despite the inaccessibility of your firearm) is testimony to the work you have been doing on the treadmill! Congratulations! I like the idea of having glasses that alter my reality. My treadmill looks out on everything I still need to do! I would like a pair that shows my chores are done!
And thank you for your response this morning. No more doggy treats for me!

Where do you work that you need a concealed hand gun at the office? I've heard of bad office inviroments..... Sometime you actually lose fat without the damn scale moving at all.

LOL - you make me laugh! Thanks, some days I need it.

LOL!! Bella I do love reading you. The scale has not moved but you are losing inches!! If you do not measure then you really should. I am glad that you are not letting it get to you. I think it is an excellent idea to slowly up your calories and then reduce again. Our bodies get used to something and they 'reset' themselves to that something so it is now the normal. That is why I think it is not such a bad day to have a day to go over calories.
That is funny about your pistol being in your boobs....lol....glad you moved it to the back...wouldn't want you shooting something...haha.
I hope you have a great weekend.

30 year old 6'7" wt 150 would be a total beanpole! I had a cowboy friend that was 28, 6'4" and 160 and HE looks like Woody from Toy Story!

I love reading your journals. :) It does sound as if you have been losing fat, even if the scale isn't showing it. Remind me never to get on your bad side. ;)

Realizing it might be safer for us all as online friends... Now that I know about the concealment:)! Think your new plan sounds great, & obviously it's working, as your newly fitting jeans can attest. Our bodies are too smart for us... Getting used to our new calorie counts... But not our Bella! Enjoy the weekend, your treadmill & your jeans... Even if they're high waisted!

LOL - the treadmill setting; yes, 62" in 5 feet 2 inches! Hope you keep the safety on...there are easier ways to lose the weight on our derriere than shooting it off!

Thank you all for the feedback and support. Color me STUPID as I finally updated that treadmill profile and realized it wasn't 6'7"... it was just 67" period. Okay - color me stupid and BLIND as I first thought it displayed frumpy me at 6'2"! That's when I realized 'ahhhh....62"....yeah. ..... DUUUUhhhh.' Once the test pattern sound in my head cleared I laughed. All this time I was thinking 'why oh why such an odd factory setting? Did supermodels buy the company?' So coupled with this confession I almost regret posting the CHG comment as it seems some are reevaluating me in a whole new light - began to wonder when the 'Dirty Harriet' label would come. Ironically - I was more concerned about using the word 'boob' in a post - again, duh me. I assure you it's purely self defense and never ever ever used....and hope to never never ever need it. I'm really a very nice woman. Really. I simply own and operate a biz with implied vulnerability and two of my close biz associates have (been robbed) at gunpoint. That's all. Wish it were more exciting or glamorous. Here comes the test pattern again....hmmmmmm LOL. Have a great Saturday!

Hahaha, this journal and comments cracked me up. I'm glad you aren't letting a plateau get the best of you. Thanks for accepting my buddy request! Your comments about the concealed weapon reminded me of a joke - the short version: A guy and girl are talking about the girl's mom and how many guns she owns - they guy asks "Why so many guns? What on earth is she afraid of?" and the girl responds "Not a d*mn thing!!!" :)

In an effort to avoid housework I have been wandering around the web site and took a look at your diet calender. If the information in there is correct your calories have increased on average by 500 calories and your excercise has decreased by about 200 calories a day this month as compared to last month. Could this be contributing to your stall?

LOL - mystery solving trumps kitchen mopping anyday, right? While I 'have' increased my intake by 400-500cals a day THIS PAST WEEK I typically record my activity as 24 hours of sleeping only. I wish ... :-) But good try and thank you for the thought ~ I was just about to journal about my scale today - stay tuned ::: unless you decide to go dust::::
