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!
I'm on WW and track religiously during the week; I track my activity too. I'm not all that great on the weekend because we're out-n-about a lot.

I've definitely hit a lull (plateau sounds kind of positive and I'm bummed as hell about it). I skipped a week of weighing in last week and intend to do it tomorrow morning; I'm not excited about it, and I hate that I'm feeling so down.

I got pissed off last week because I've been really good and I picked up my exercise, and somehow some pounds started popping up. I couldn't figure it out and found that it was really upsetting me (that's when I moved the scale out to the garage). I do accept the possibility of muscle weight, but I still don't like it.

My initial plan was to hold off on my weightlifting program until I hit my goal weight. I wish I had stuck with that. I am now in that confused state I didn't want to be in.

I know I sound all kinds of bitchy and whiney right now. Sorry 'bout that...

I know the solution is to start kickin' ass on cardio, and I hate that. This all sucks right now.

P.S. I'll get over it.
