The time has come ...

The time has come, the dreaded plateau has arrived. I knew it was coming but it's so frustrating. After losing 90 lbs, I got so used to see "big numbers" on the scale. I ate a lot but also worked out a lot and kept losing. When I first handed in my food log to my trainer, she was shocked.

Now, the story's different. I love my sweets, that will never change. I still train 5-6 days a week but I do less cardio because I really want to build muscle. Consequence, plateau. I know I look good better but my body's not where I want it to be. I'm a 5/6 but I'd rather be a 3/4. I'm somewhat muscular but I want more muscle.

The plan now, go from 2000-2200 cals/day down to 1500 cals/day. How do I feel about that? I'm not too happy but I know it's what I need to do. The good thing is that I'm not gaining, I'm maintaining but it's not what I want.

I'm contemplating signing up for a 5K or 10K. I want to but I'm scared. I'm still afraid of failure. What if I can't do it? What if it's too much for my body to handle?

Time to put my plan is action and lose those stubborn 10-15 lbs. What the heck, I lost 90 so why couldn't I lose 10 more?
