Plateau - again!

I think I've hit another plateau - again.  But like my hubby mentioned...it's easier to lose weight when you've got a lot to lose.  But now that I'm getting smaller, its's just naturally harder to lose weight.

I've been stuck at this 130-133 plateau for the past 7 weeks.  I have increased my workouts to at least 5 times a week.  I think one thing that I know I haven't been too good on is my diet.  I have fallen a victim to my sweet tooth again.  That was what I had the hardest time letting go of last time.  I think I need to stock up on more sugar free sweets again.  That is the hardest thing for me, my soft spot.

I was really hoping to be in the 120s already (as I stated in my last update which was about 5 weeks ago), but sadly I'm not.  The kids are back in school, so I'm starting to add running back into my routine.  I have also increased the routine, and now I'm slightly over 3.4 miles.  I need to find just "a little more" to make it a complete 3.5 miles. 

Also, I didn't realize we had P90X!  Hubby and I quickly browsed thru the various exercises!  Man do a lot of them look difficult!  It is almost intimidating.  But then again, that's how I felt about the various Jillian Michaels DVDs.  So I'm thinking I could get thru it.  I don't plan to do the whole 90 day program, but to just incorporate the different DVDs in with my current mixed up workout schedule.  I hope that helps me get thru these last 7.2 lbs to my next goal!
