Still Hovering . . .

I feel like I'm at a stand still with my weight just hovering where I am. Ughh... I have no time to move into maintenance mode - I still have more weight to lose. At least 40 more lbs! Some days, I am really happy with my size now, you know when I'm putting on my clothes that haven't fit me in a long time, trying to wear something that is too big, or the best part admiring my muscular arms and more scuplted legs. But then, all it takes is one look in the mirror and I see exactly how fat I still am. =/

The thing that gets me is I am about the same weight as I've been most of my post-children life. I'm eating well and exercising and the weight isn't coming off as fast as it was. Is it a plateau? Do I need to mix up my routine more? I know I was eating healthier before and I really think that is the key. I'm eating ok now, not over eating but possibly eating too much to lose. Saturday Rich asked me to pick up some Skinny Cow Ice cream cones and so I did but I also picked up some Ben and Jerry's Fro Yo. Probably not the smartest thing. Yeah fro yo is less calories than ice cream but still Ben & Jerry's is pretty high up there because of their mix ins. To top it off, I felt I deserved it because I went on the extra long bike ride, Rich and I were fighting. He had to work Saturday night, so I ate the entire pint of Cherry Garcia Fro Yo. Yeah probably wasn't good for my weight loss.

I feel burnt out of dieting. Burnt out from the gym. I need motivation and don't want to give up - I think if I seen the scale move quickly again, it would all be worth ... heck I know it's worth it. I do love feeling fit. I just wish I would feel progress...
