Plateau...NO!!

So it came...the dreaded plateau!! Even though I ran my 3 times and ate (mostly) what I was supposed to, I have hit a hard spot!  I need to step up my game...I need to work harder to get it going again!  So I have started running a 2.5/3.5 split.  But it was my birthday the other day and I may have indulged in some Birthday apple pie...oh and I made Pumpkin Cupcakes with butter cream icing for the kids' classes and perhaps I ate a couple of those.  So, really, this shouldn't be a surprise.  But really...it always happens to me....right in the 230's I either never quite make it, or I never get too far down from it.  My last one was 237.  I was stuck there and then just gave up!  This time will be different! It's weird because lately I just feel ravenous! I am hungry all the time and never feel sated! Constantly prowling my kitchen and checking my calories to see if I can have just a little something.  It is beyond frustrating since for a month and a half, I've been OK, then this!  I'm also exhausted...I am the mother of 2 kids and have done the sleepless nights and sleepy days, but now I am nodding off all the time.  In the car with my husband when his sudden talking bolts me awake....was I asleep???  I am crashing into bed every night, and falling asleep instantly! Me...who usually tosses and turns for at least an hour.  I'm yawning all day and can't wait to sleep.  If I didn't know better, I'd think I was pregnant but the hubby is neutered so that is not a possibility!  Anyways, that is my dilemma this week.  I am hoping to see something happen next week and refuse to be detoured!  Tomorrow is Halloween and I am a little afraid...all that candy..in convenient little guiltless, just one won't hurt me sizes!! Oh my!  NOOOOOOOO! For my weight and measurements...there is no change!  Nada....zip!

Weight : 240.8
 Waist : 44
 Hips : 56
 Bust : 54

Booooooooo!  It's OK...I knew eventually I would hit this point so I won't give up!  My sister has entered me into a Santa Shuffle 5km run for Dec 1st.  My sister, my niece and I are running together!  I think I will make us candy cane coloured tutu's!! How fun!  But what a bonding experience!  Plus it keeps me accountable! I want to do a good time...my PB is 49 minutes for a 5km! So as I like to say..onwards and downwards!! Ha ha! Here's to the journey!
