New Plan

So for a few weeks now my weight loss has slowed and now its stopped at the 60 pound mark. I'm far from done and I'm not giving up because of this little hiccup. Its not a set back, but it is a time for me to evaluate my workouts, nutrition & motivation. I think I need to exercise more & eat more calories. I know, that doesn't sound quite right, but I don't think I'm getting enough "fuel" in my system to keep my metabolism going. Its not enough to keep up with the amount of exercise I do each day.
I go to the gym 6 days a week, I spend roughly 20-30 minutes doing cardio each day, and 2-3 times a week I do strength & resistance training. I'm pretty sure that its time to up the amount of cardio, I know I can do more. Today I did 40 minutes on the Elliptical. I pushed really hard, so hard that at one point I thought for sure I was going to throw up. But it passed. I had thoughts of Jillian Michael's in my head screaming at me, a frequent saying of hers..."Unless you throw up or faint your not quitting!" I was so proud of myself when I fought through the discomfort. I planned to do 40 minutes today and I did it, I stuck with what I wanted to do. That is one thing that tells me that I will get to my goals no matter how long it takes.

My new plan is to get AT LEAST 40 minutes of cardio a day, still do 2 to 3 days of strength & Resistance Training and also add in a new workout during the evening (Even if its just doing steps on my Wii Fit while watching tv).
I also plan to eat 1,400 to 1,600 calories a day now (instead of 1,200) - I think this is going to be the hardest thing for me, not the extra exercise. I've pounded it into my brain to stick to 1,200 calories for so long if feels strange to eat more, but with the extra calories burned I'm going to need extra to keep my metabolism going to burn fat.

Motivation: I've really started to realise just now much I've changed. I just got a new workout shirt this past week while I was too sick to work out. Its a MEDIUM!! Its a fitted Under Armor Brand workout t-shirt. I love it. And I know the harder I work the better it will look on me. I'm still not comfortable wearing something fitted, but my hubby reassured me that it looks good and that I have nothing to be self conscious about. I'm so glad that hes been so supportive.

I'm planning on posting some new pictures soon :-)
29 lbs to go!!
