What does Jillian from the Biggest Loser say to do if you are in a plateau?…you won’t believe it…

Tonight, I was trying to catch up on blogs, and decided to listen to my music on my media player. A song ended and then one of the radio shows I have downloaded from KFI of Jillian popped up on my player, so I thought…oh, this is good timing….I will listen to this.
So I was listening, and she was talking about a lot of things, answering questons…like how long to wait before training a muscle group…she said 72 hours and then to just to split them up…
or whether or not the microwave is good for food…(she said yes)
How to motivate/support someone you love to stay active…she said to ask them what they needed them to do to support them.
Avoid eating high carb food at night cause that is when your body produces its HGH…and insulin will interfere with it…so avoid carbs at night before you sleep.
Losing the last 10 pounds…stay away from alcohol…excess calories, it lowers you ability to have will power, sets body up to store fat, releases estrogen, and releases insulin…
And then
a caller asked her what to do when you hit a plateau.
Ok…I stopped what I was doing…they had my attention.
Well, I expected her to say, work harder, eat less…and stuff like that…but she didn’t….no…
She actually said to REST for a couple of days….and up your calories by 10%…wait a minute…what did she just say, rewind, what was that?
Hey… I know I can do that:)
So I will try it!!! I have not exercised today, and yesterday I gardened, not my regular exercise, and with my eating on Saturday…I think I have increased my cals enough, so tomorrow I will go back to the gym and see if I start to see a change.
TOM will be here very soon now…so, I will not expect too much.
I am also going to do a couple other things:
Start cutting out sugar…I have gotten into a couple of bad habits.
Stop eating low fat frozen yogurt at night (finally read the label…first 3 ingredients, sugar syrup, corn syrup, and high fructose syrup–oh yuck)
No more sweet tea (this is hard, cause I am from the south and I jus luv it y’all)
Get rid of processed foods
Especially crackers/snacks
That is all I have for now…but I think these little changes will help!
Thanks to everyone that was so sweet with your comments on my last blog…it made me cry….’cause I felt all the love!
You guys are all such a blessing to me!
