So, I would like to have you recall last week when I posted that I was at a plateau. Even though, I had lost a bunch of weight, my body seems to be comfortable where it is now. I thought about ways to break that slump. Here is what I thought about. Instead of focusing on the number on the scale, stay off of the scale for at least a week. and instead focus on more of a distance goal. Let's say for example, ( and of course please modify to your best convenience), his week's goal is to walk a mile by the end of the week. Now there are two weays to do this goal. You could either record your distances to add up to a mile or you can work up to a goal. Meaning see how far you can walk today without like freaking you body out, say 1/4 of a mile...Well, tomorrow, after your stretch, try for 1/2 mile or maybe around another corner in your neighborhood. The next day, 3/4 of a mile. You get the point. At the endof the week see how far you can go before you have trouble. A good way to look at it is to train throughout the week for your "test" on Friday. If you are like me, and are a bit under the weather, don't stress your body out too much, but still try to do something!! If you completely shut down while you are not feeling well then it will be harder for you to pick it back up and make progress. Obviously if you are really, really sick and just can't get out of bed, then by all means give your body the amount of time it needs to rest and heal. I am sorry this isn't much longer but, I am so not feeling it!!!
Hope you get to feeling better soon. :)
