I feel like I’m doing everything I’m supposed to do.
I’m completing 5-7 workout classes a week, (an hour of boxing w/conditioning 3x, and 50-60 minutes cycle 3x -sometimes +/-1 depending on my schedule).
I’ve seen a great increase in my stamina, strength, and endurance. Gone from not being able to hold a plank for more than 3 seconds to being able to do plank exercises. Couldn’t jump rope, now I can keep it going for about 2 minutes. Gone up in weights.
I eat pretty healthy. I have a mostly plant based diet (I don’t regularly eat meat, eggs -mild allergy, or dairy -lactose intolerance). I’m not a snacker. I measure and log everything and stay under 1200 calories. I don’t go out to eat anymore and try to stay away from processed or pre-prepared foods. I mostly buy whole foods and mostly vegetables (not a lot of fruit, rice, pasta, bread). I don’t feel deprived - I generally feel pretty full after a meal.
All of that being said, from the middle of January to now I’ve hardly seen my work reflected in my weight. My starting weight was 231 and I weighed in this morning at 224. I’m 5’1 so obviously this is very much over where I’d like to be weight-wise.
I guess I’m just trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong. Should I exercise more? Am I a lost cause?!
