Do we track our exercise there as well?

I SUCK at tracking my food. I'll go several days without tracking sometimes because I already know the point values of what I'm eating and will just say "fuck it" to tracking.

It occurred to me that this might be a roadblock in losing as quickly as I want, not because I don't track but because I already know the point values which tells me that I am at least eating the same things often enough to remember.

THAT can cause a plateau because your body gets used to processing the same thing over and over so I do intend to change up what I eat a little. I generally have a Fiber One bar, a v8, and a Fuji apple every day. Perhaps I'll drop the Fiber One bar for some natural granola and switch my v8 up for a week to a freshly juiced kale drink! I'll let you know what happens!

Yes, I’m on the WW plan. I am a compulsive tracker M-F……..Saturday (better known as “All You Can Eat Saturday”) and Sunday (“Get Back On Track Sunday”) not so much. I do really well when I get into the groove and I almost automatically start eating the same things for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. For dinner I do vary it a bit. I just get on a role and it becomes second nature. When I was at a weird plateau or something several weeks ago and getting very frustrated Apretty suggested I go back to what’s worked in the past and she was SO RIGHT ON! Once I went back to my old stand-bys like egg whites, turkey bacon, and whole wheat toast for breakfast, the plateau was over and pounds came rolling off. That was great.

I do exercise usually about five days a week, cardio and weight lifting at least an hour per session. I don’t track exercise points or bother counting them at all.
I had a difficult week last week, with lots of work stuff going on and felt highly stressed. I think I really need to address the need for certain comfort foods in my life (cookies) when I am really struggling with something. But overall I feel I’m making good progress mostly and my 36s Levis are almost in sight! I tried them on the other day, I could button them but the fit is not right yet. While some guys like to wear tight jeans (Mister Bent) I don’t.
