I think I’m in a rut….a SERIOUS RUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve been working my fucking ass off in the gym for two weeks. Five days a week, each session lasting just over 2 hours. I have upped my cardio intensity AND length of time.
I have nothing to show for it…AGAIN!!!!

I started the week at 246.5lbs and ended the week at exactly the same number. I have yet to have my body fat tested though, so maybe the numbers will have dropped significantly there or something…
What the fuck is going on here?
It’s pissing me off…

I would really like to blame my lack of success on my diet, but alas I can not. I have been 100% clean with it. When I say 100% clean, I actually mean 100% clean. There were no cheat meals, no extras, no slip ups!!!
Perhaps I am not allowing enough variation with my diet? Maybe my body is telling me to switch up my food for a bit?
I got lazy and just ate exactly what I did last week…

Hey wait a sec….that was the week I didn’t lose either..
hmmmm

MAYBE IT IS MY DIET!!!!!!!!

Q: I have never been overweight until after high school. I started gaining around 20 years of age and stayed overweight til I was 25. I started working out at a women’s gym for a year, I was persistent. I lost about 30 and I have kept it off til now. I work out at a coed gym now, they took a body fat comp and my percentage body fat was 20 %. I am around 152 and my goal is 140 but i cant get beyond 150. Lately I have been trying to burn at least 1000 calories 3-5 days a week. I have hypothyroidism but luckily by working out i have increased my metabolism. I still have a lil belly I want that gone! I am 5′7 1/2 by the way. I try to eat a lot of chicken and fish for protein and I drink protein shakes every other day, mostly on the days that I lift. I lift 2-3 times a week. Now that you know my stats and stuff, could you give me some advice? I would really appreciate it! Thank you and God Bless!

A: So you’ve upped your exercise to burn an extra 1000 calories a day. Have you compensated for the 1000 calories by adding an extra 1000 calories from protein?
