And the Saga Continues . . .

I have reached my first plateau. I lost 15 pounds 3 weeks ago, and I haven't budged since. I've gained a couple, lost 'em, gained 'em again, etc., but I haven't been able to break past the 15 pound mark. Frustrating. Of course, I have no one to blame but myself. If I'd quit eating out so much, I'd do better.

It's amazing how close you have to watch food when you are trying to lose weight. I earned 6 extra activity points today. I wasn't going to eat them. But I grabbed a small handful of cereal out of a box on the counter and ate it, and then looked at the label. That small handful of lowfat granola was 5 points! 1/2 a cup of cereal should not take up a fourth of your daily allotment. No wonder people struggle with their weight so much these days.

I have some success to report, though. I ran from here to mom's house again today. I held a steady 10 mile pace for 4 miles. I ran 4 miles in 40 minutes. That's the first time I've been able to say that.

Anyway, I'm really tired. I was planning to write more, but I think I'll take a nap instead. I have volleyball in an hour and a half.

Peace go with you . . .
