Sorry to digress, back to the roadblock. I did south beach a while later and got back into the 190's, but never could find that elusive 186.5 again. I got down to 187.4 2 1/2 weeks ago, it took me that long to change my ticker to 186.6 this morning. I'm inching towards the roadblock, but it will take another good focused day for me to bash it down. Really hoping to see something under 186.5 tomorrow morning. I think it will be a huge load off of my shoulders to overcome that damn number. My scale was a complete jackass this morning. I got on it, 186. Got on again, 186.8, again, 187. Finally settled at 186.6 (was that weight multiple times...yes I was on an off my scale many many times this morning). It's usually quite reliable, the first weight is usually the weight. This morning it was just f$cking with me!!
I'm running tonight. Still have this awful cough, but I think that the longer I let this 25 minute run get away from me, the tougher it will be. So tonight I run. Wish me luck!!
You are almost there! You will make it, just stay on your usual path to success!
ReplyDeleteClearly your scale is faulty and you need to immediately buy one that weighs you in at 5lbs less, because I can see very clearly that you are WELL below 186!
ReplyDeletePS: I have never been in a wedding party where, by the day of the wedding, I wouldn't have happily stood on the bride's throat and watched her slowly die. I will never get married! Marriage is for suckers! Don't do it!
That's my story...
You're doing great Jenny and you will get past that # on the scale!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to KICK 186.5's @$$!!! And I, for one, can't wait to see that happen! :)
ReplyDeleteYes no worries you will kick 186.5 in the but?
ReplyDeleteYou go girl... you're going to get through this roadblock - seriously! I think mine is the 200 number... so the next few weeks are all about getting back below 200 and STAYING THERE for a while!
ReplyDeletelol@the intervention & Gilly!!
ReplyDeleteI know about these roadblocks....I've had two of them. The key is recognizing it for what it is and then pushing past it. My first roadblock took me MONTHS to get past, but the 2nd one (because I was all 'Self-Aware') took only a few weeks. Big difference.
You are already aware of it - now your 25 min. run is the pushing past. You can do it!!! And for tomorrow, Rinse & Repeat. You are going to do it - I can't wait to read about it very soon!
Good luck! :)
You will get past it! I feel that way about getting into the 100's. You have come so far. Just picture yourself kicking right through that wall!!
ReplyDeleteNot only are you going to burst through that road block, but you are going to hit 100 lbs. very soon! You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteStay strong! Just a little bump in the road. You look amazing!
ReplyDeleteHang in there, you are so close to breaking right through that roadblock!
ReplyDeleteOkay. This is what I think you need to do. I think by focusing on how that number is your road block, start visualizing 184. Like when you are laying in bed at night dont even think of "that other number"...but think of the number you want. Start to say "I am going to be 184...or 183..." Dont give any energy to the mental roadblock bc somehow I think it manifests itself to real live weight stoppage.
ReplyDeleteI know. I know. I am so deep.
I'm interested: you'll have to do another post on this Long Island wedding-issue thing?????
ReplyDeleteAnd you'll be below 186.5 soon!!!
I agree with Amy. Visualization is a powerful tool. You've come so far. You can do this.
ReplyDeleteAm stuck at 193 lbs- and havign the same kind of roadblock, keep us posted on your self talk and what you do to get/stay on track :-)
ReplyDelete(let's just say I have a vested interest!)
Oh Lawng Island how I miss you!
Go Jen!!!
ReplyDeleteYou can beat it...look at how far you have come!!!! Go Jen
