So the year I've been back at it, trying to get fit. I was just lifting, sports and some cardio at first and saw some results. Cleaned up my nutrition and saw more results.
Over the last 9 months I've dropped a fair bit of weight and some inches everywhere. Lots of compliments. Feeling good. Looking good. Good right?
Sure all good, BUT the last 6-8 weeks. NOTHING. I mean no results. I've weighed in, measured and done the "clothes test" I look the same, I feel the same and I don't see anything happening both in the mirror and on paper.
I'm lifting 3-5 times a week, depending on work - I work shifts. I play hockey 2-3 times a week for at least an hr each time. I play basketball once every other week when I can fit it in. Play with the pups, the kid. I eat well. Track it all and eat around 50% protein, 30% carbs and 20% fats. I've already got a fairly low calorie intake and don't really want to.drop it any further.
Not sure what else I can do. Feel like I've hit a wall and unsure what I can do to get around it? Is this a temporary thing or will I have to do a major over haul of my routines and nutrition? Any help from others who've been here before would be awesome. It definitely kills the motivation :s

Congratulations on your transformation so far.
As you progress towards ever greater fitness, it becomes progressively important to understand how to compose a proper diet. Equally so, the quality and execution of your workout routine also becomes more significant.
Thus, I suggest you start by reading the nutrition stickies and exercise program stickies as well.
