Stalled again

I won't call it an official plateau, but I'm stalled again.  I have gained and lost the same 3-4 pounds for 2 1/2 weeks.  I know these happen and not to stress over them, but it's hard not to.  I also know that stress can cause this type of thing and my life is certainly stressful at the moment.  I'm hoping that now that the Prince has actually moved out, some of the stress can subside and I can focus on living my life.  In any event, I just had to vent some. Take care. Ellen

Don't sweat it... You're just waiting on me to catch up! Big hugs!

Who's sweating, it's a chilly 90 degrees here! I'm doing my best to not let anyone catch up, but my body seems to have other plans for the moment. Hope you're doing alright, how's the recovery going? Take care. Ellen

Ellen, is it possible for you to do 3 day's liquids to stir things up?  Or maybe up the workout?  Sometimes I think your body gets in a slump.  Hugs to you today girl! Nancy

Generally speaking, to break a plateau you up your protein and water, and change up your exercise routine.  I'm not convinced that this is totally necessary just yet.  I really think this boils down to stress and bad food choices.  My next order of business is to journal my eating for a week and see what I'm missing. Take care. Ellen

i hate the little scale zig zags. i want this to be a one-way road! i've been zigging around the same weight for 2 weeks too. but we know this will pass ... patience is our friend.

Have you been to the March 07 board?  There are a lot of us stalling around now.  I think to some extent it's part of the cycle for us, but I know that the stress and food choices I've been making aren't helping. Patience is indeed our friend, but it's a virtue I've got in small doses. Take care. Ellen

Try to relax there Ellen........stress is Evil!!! Try to up your water a bit..it may help =0)  ~Sarah~

I'm a little more relaxed now than I was.  Something about him finally actually moving out has relaxed me some.  I didn't want it, but now it's no longer hanging over my head.  In any event, I just keep telling myself this too shall pass.  Upping my water is something I need to do anyway, I don't get nearly enough. Take care. Ellen

the march 07 board has been miiiiiighty slow lately, but it wouldn't surprise me if this is a stall that's not unexpected at this point. i never did do my measurements, so i can't even fall back on the "but you're losing inches!" idea. i have to say that when i get in these little stuck periods, it's uncanny how some intentional exercise will shake me loose! i need to throw my butt on my bike tonight!
