Ultimate Plateau

Call me frustrated because that is what I am. Someone please explain to me what is going on here.....out of the last 10 days I have gone to the gym all but 2....

Sat. 9th - Went to the Gym
Sun. 10th - Skipped
Mon. 11th - Went to the Gym
Tues. 12th - Wend to the Gym
Wed. 13th - Skipped
Thurs. 14th - Went to the Gym
Fri. 15th - Went to the Gym
Sat. 16th - Went to the Gym
Sun. 17th - Went to the Gym
Mon. 18th - Going to the gym after work today

The scale does not like me anymore I am convinced of it.  So looking at what I've done in the last 10 days I am trying to come up with some things I can improve upon that will hopefully help...

  1. Drink more water...I am aiming for (5) 24oz bottles per day.
  2. Start circuit training again because the more muscle you have the more you burn
  3. Don't eat after 8PM
  4. Continue working out 1 hour per day.
This is all I can come up with, let me know if you have any other ideas!

Are you taking measurements? Sometimes when you are exercising a lot it's better to judge progress by inches instead of pounds.

Do you log calories in? If not, sometimes I'm surprised by the amount I'm taking in...especially if I'm drinking any. If that isn't it, I feel sure that your body will catch up with you soon!

I have to agree with Bonnie, you may be losing inches but gaining muscle with all that gym time.

I think you gals are right and I was kind of thinking the same thing but it usually doesnt take me this long to even out....not only watching to amount of calories I am consuming but I am trying to just eat healthier things in general vs. processed things...hopefully the combination of everything will help!
