Default Scale not friend / Tape measure friend

Well, when ever I get stuck, I do 2 things:

1) Check and recheck my carbs

a) I found out just this week by using FitDay that I was
underestimating my carb count by about 1/3! My secret
culprit was the half & half I used in my coffee and onions in
my omellets!

b) It was easy to have hidden carbs, all those non-cal
sweetners contain about .75 gram of carbs & I was using
uhm....... lot's... like 20 a day in my coffee....

2) Step up the walking, walking is my best friend.... my worst
friend is my 30 second sprints with 30 secon rests for 20 mins.

3) Even though you're now suppose to have to count calories, I
do anyway. I find that I don't lose the weight as quickly if I
don't, I can still eat way to much!

4) Relax, let time pass, you didn't put it on in a month, it'll take
time. And that's ok, Impatience has been my worst enemy!!!

5) Inches count more than pounds if you ask me.

But that's about it, it's not really much more than make sure you are not getting any hiddne carbs and you are counting them correctly, step up the exercise a bit, and be patient!



Hope this helps, have a happy day!
