I think I've plateaued. I've been trying to lose the same two pounds for two, maybe, three weeks now, and I just stay the same weight. 2 more pounds means I have met my next 5 pound goal. I told myself that once I meet that goal I can reward myself by buying new running shoes - my old ones are sooooooooo old and I know I need new ones AND I can go buy new pants because the ones I'm wearing don't stay on. I need a middle size pant to get me to my pre-pregnancy pant.
This week my goal is to run 5 miles/5 times a week. I will TRY to not eat cereal at night - that still seems to be my hardest temptation. I must get rid of these 2 pounds! They are driving me crazy. I'm ready to see a new number on the scale.

Cereal at night is a sugar craving. The way you get past that is to have 1 big-spoon spoonful of PEANUT BUTTER, and a glass of milk (8 oz). It takes at least 3 bites to eat that much peanut butter. Sip the milk between bites.
Fighting sugar cravings with protein works for a lot of people. AND, if you do this for about a week, I have found that the nightly sugar craving goes away.
Remember to hydrate very well during the day--that helps too.
I think you should get new shoes and pants NOW. Remember, the number on the scale is an arbitrary thing. It's the way that your body feels that makes a difference.
Dawney, I LOVE peanut butter . . . but I have been staying away from it on purpose because it has so many calories. You can't eat peanut butter and lose weight at the same time???? Are you for real????
Yes. Just not a whole lot. 1 Tablespoon has 94 calories in it. As a means to over come the night time cereal cravings, it is worth the extra calories for a week. Seriously, you should be able to retrain your body in about a week.
P.S. In our house, Peanut Butter is now an illegal substance. I don't buy it. I CRAVE it, since I stopped eating chocolate. So I don't do this anymore. I'll eat a Peanut Butter sandwich when I am binging.
Oh, that sounds yummy!
