Something Needs to Change

I've hit a rut, and something needs to change. I seem to have hit a plateau and I'm more than frustrated. And, I've found the frustration with my weight is sliding into other areas in my life. I feel like my goal is so close, yet I just can't get there. I'm pushing myself harder in my workouts than ever before, and I feel like I'm missing out on all food that is even slightly bad. So, the only thing I can think of is it's time to reevaluate my food intake.

Though I've done plenty of research and seem to know all about how food affects the body, I still can't seem to find the right balance for myself. So, it's time to solicit some help. Several people have recommended Max Muscle to me and have raved about how educated their staff is. The way I see it, I might as well go talk to someone there. Hopefully they have some incite to provide me with.

As I try to work through this plateau, I decided to give it my all and start double day workouts. Even though I have a really hard time pulling myself out of bed in the morning, I have no other choice. If I can get in a 5-7 mile run, five days a week, and continue to lift 6 days a week, somethings gotta give. I sure hope so anyway.

Today's workout:
5 minute moderate rate stair stepper warm up

3 full circuits - 1-2 Minutes of rest between each completed circuit
