Stall

 

I have definitely hit a stall. I've been asking Dr Google, Mr Online Research, other WLS (weight loss surgery) Facebook users and my WLS chums and it seems this is perfectly normal and very common. It can happen any time but often between 3-6 months which is where I sit. My body is recalibrating, adjusting to my new size. Apparently I may still be losing inches which is good. It could last a week or a few weeks but the general consensus is don't panic. Follow the same principles and believe in the process. Weight loss will kick in again. So I'm trying to be patient, and have temporarily stopped weighing myself - it was getting frustrating. Hence, no data today. Although I can report that my fat is down to 39% which is 3% less than it was when I last measured. Yay - only 39% ha ha ha

Life has been good in-spite of this. I'm walking lots on my days off. And going on small, round the block lunchtime walks when I'm not off. I've used the elliptical trainer when I can/feel like it. Oh and I'm planking and squatting in preparation of skiing next year! 

Going away for a nice weekend tomorrow. A night in Pitlochry to watch Ellie run her half marathon - rather her than me. Couldn't think of anything worse. Then a couple of nights at the Hideaways near Dundee. Come Sunday I'll be sat in a hot tub with a glass of prosecco and soft music playing. I can't wait! Super excited! Don't worry, I'll post pics next week. 

Have a smashing weekend and thank you for reading. Oh and the photo was my breakfast yesterday. One big egg with a double yolk (whoop) on half a thin protein bagel. Yummy!

Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behaviour does.
