Plus? I lost weight in March. Minus? It's the least that I've lost since I started.
Am I seeing the beginning of a plateau or am I just slacking? I've been doing a Lent Challenge, trying (unsuccessfully for the last few weeks) to eat 1200 calories a day but I've stayed under my regular 1500 a day (I'm mentally blocking last Saturday). I'm exercising at least 3 times a week. For April, I need to get back to at least 30 minutes of activity at least 5 days a week. We'll see how it goes.
Bonus? The month ended on a really high note. In 2010, Hubbard House, the domestic violence shelter here in Jacksonville, had it's inaugural awareness walk. I'm a long time volunteer and was eager to participate. But actually doing the walk was not an option for me. I was the answer lady that day, working the information booth.
Flash forward to last Saturday, the 3rd Annual Hubbard House Awareness Walk. I not only planned on walking, I formed a team with the lovely ladies that I work out with at Fit Chicks (and Zach!).
I worked check in so I was unable to do the first lap of the 3.5 mile walk but I was able to do the finish the second 1.75 mile lap with a few of my teammates in under 30 minutes. And???? I ran. Yes, I said I actually ran. Just a little ways and just to catch up to my teammates as I saw them passing by the starting line but hey, you have to start somewhere.
Did anyone notice just how coordinated I was? LOL. I even made a bracelet to match. Hey I knew there would be pictures taken.
This is completely awesome, Tamara!!! You look great and I know you feel great too!
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, you may have hit a plateau but probably not if you are still losing. Keep on going on with your awesomeness and let's see what April brings! I cannot wait to see!
