Funny. When I first woke up, I didn't want to do cardio AT ALL. Now I'm all frickin' fired up about it!!!! Kinda pissed actually...

I'm 5.4 pounds away from my first goal weight.

Dammit.

Thinker... please don't beat yourself up! This rollercoaster journey can be frustrating ~ but luckily we are able to celebrate the losses & challenge ourselves when we gain. It sucks when you can see that first goal so close and feel like it's a million away... just keep your focus strong. YOU CAN DO THIS!

For me, I know there are days I never use all my points and others where I go over. But isn't that what the extra weekly points are for? We are all human.

Sometimes we just might need to change things up a bit with the meals and/or exercise routines. I seriously think that after awhile, our bodies start trying to hold on to that fat. It's sad that sometimes we have to trick our metabolism into working WITH us, not against us.

Keep going Thinker... you are doing great! I'm very impressed with the walking/jogging routine! You have really kicked your cardio up! I bet that weight is gonna start falling off again, SOON!
