I thought I would start a journal since I can't seem to keep one these days for myself. Maybe this will be a good thing.

I've been walking 3 nights in a row now. I drove my path in the car and it said 1.3 miles. I know its not much but I think its pretty good for me. The only exercise I get is chasing after my kiddos otherwise. Anyway, it takes me a little under 30 minutes to walk it and it completely wears me out so maybe it will do some good. I haven't lost any weight since I've been walking which kind of ticks me off. But I'm hoping it will get better.

I went to costco yesterday and bought some whole wheat ravioli stuffed with cheese and asparagus. mmmmmmmm I tried it as a sample there and it was yum. I don't want to get in the habit of buying it though. Its a treat. Anytime I get too many grains I gain weight. I have to be very careful. I mostly eat protein and veggies.

Thats it for now I guess,

I think I've hit another plateau and I'm feeling very impatient. This happened one other time and it about got the best of me. I gained and lost the same 5 pounds for about 2 weeks. I've been somewhere between 293 and 298 everyday for about a week and a half. I keep telling myself I will break through soon but I'm not completely believing myself. I'm sure it will end, I just don't know when. Anybody have any proven plateau busters I could try??

Not much time here, but there are lots of different things to try out. Nothing proven, of course.

You could start by cutting down your cheese.

For many women, plateaus & stalls seem to be a given part of the process. I've come to expect them.

P.S. Just don't give up, Carolyn! If you're persistent, you'll lose!

Thanks Nancy, I actually do need to cut down my cheese I think. I don't know if its causing the stall or not. But I have noticed that I add cheese to this and that and the other to make things more interesting and by the end of the day I've probably had way too much. I should be more vigilant about that.

Thanks for the suggestion!
