My weight did not drop drastically during the month of April. In fact, it barely dropped at all. Right now my weight appears to be at a plateau stage, where I’m not gaining or losing any weight. I’m still eating healthier than a few months ago, and I exercise every day, but it appears that I am not doing enough to keep me on track.
But I have not given up! I still feel I can lose the weight. I just need to improve myself in some areas to get me back to where I want to be. Here are my ideas:
1) I need to exercise more during the day, even if it’s mild. Right now I spend too much time sitting around indoors. My plan is to walk with my stepchildren to school every morning: about a 40 minute walk. I still plan on going to the gym for 20 minutes every weekday morning, and go walking with my mother-in-law.

2) I will eat lighter dinners. Right now I often take large helpings at dinner time, because I’m usually hungry during the evening. Sometimes the food we have is not all together “light,” so I need to learn to take smaller helpings and avoid foods that have a large amount of calories.
3) I should eat healthy snacks during the day, like high fiber cereal or fruit, so that I will not be hungry at dinner time.
4) I plan on lifting weights at the gym more often, instead of spending the whole time walking on the treadmill. I think I need to focus more on strengthening my muscles so that I’ll burn calories more efficiently.
I will report my success next Friday. Stay tuned!
