You pretended the snooze button didn’t exist. You dragged your butt out of bed while others slept. While others ate their pancakes you had a feast of protein, glucose and electrolytes. You double-knotted. You left the porch light on and locked the door behind you. You ran. 5ks, 10ks, 26.2 miles. Some days more, some days less. You rewarded a long run with a short run. And a short run with a long run. Rain tried to slow you. Sun tried to microwave you. Snow made you feel like a warrior. You cramped. You bonked. You paid no mind to comfort. On weekends. On holidays. You made excuses to keep going. Questioned yourself. Played mind games. Put your heart before your knees. Listened to your breathing. Sweat sunscreen into your eyes. Worked on your farmers tan. You hit the wall. You went through it. You decided to be a man about it. You decided to be a woman about it. Finished what you started. Proved what you were made of. Just kept putting mile after mile on your internal odometer.

When it comes to losing weight, sometimes people hit plateaus… in fact… it’s almost inevitable that you will at some point come to a slow-point or dead halt in your weight-loss efforts.
The good news is, there are ways to break through those pesky-plateaus!Here are a few things I have found helped me personally when I hit slow-points in my fat-loss:
- Incorporating HIIT cardio 2-3 times a week (I would then follow it up with about 20-30 minutes of steady-state cardio (revs up your metabolism for a longer period of time than strictly steady-state cardio).
- Carb-cycling (have high, medium and low carb days (calories wind up getting “cycled” as well)
- Carb-tapering (start your day with more carbs and have less and less as your day goes on, eventually cutting them out of your last 1-2 meals)
The important thing to realize is that everyone’s body responds differently to different ways of eating. Just because these don’t work for you, doesn’t mean there aren’t other ways to get over the plateaus! Do not get discouraged and DO NOT GIVE UP! <3
