A Little Whine With My Cheese

Uggh. Early plateau. REALLY early plateau.
My metabolism, I think, is being really stubborn. I've stayed between 76.6kgs and 75.5 for the past month. My dad, who is also eating right and exercising, has been dropping a kilo a week. BUT there is a difference in both of our cases- he's never dieted or exercised before, whereas I'm fitter. I have been doing about three hours of exercise every second day with limited results. Sadly, that means I will have to up the weight I'm training with, and also up the days that I exercise. I'm being very very impatient, but the last time I lost a heap of weight I too was losing a kilo a week. This time, not so much. I think it's because last time my body went: "good god! she's eating regularly, and eating healthy stuff! And moving!!! What's that about???" and it responded.

On the plus side, I'm not neglecting weights and resistance this time. Last time it was pure cardio and even though I reached my goal weight I still had a high fat percentage. I hope that once I reach my goal this time it will be for the very LAST time, that I can maintain it. I could kick myself for letting myself put all the weight back on, but my lifestyle changed so rapidly in such a short space of time that I totally forgot about having a maintenance plan in place. It was; well, I'm skinny now, I can't eat ANYTHING I WANT!!! Erm...no. Not without regular exercise I couldn't.
I'm hoping that if I stick with it, things will work themselves out.
