Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhh! What is up with these darn plateaus!!! The numbers tell me that I'm doing really well, and working my tail off. What's the deal? I wonder if I should change the Activity Level settings on My Food Diary, so that I eat less calories, or if I should leave well enough alone, and just keep going as is. My instinct is that I shouldn't eat much less than 1800 calories, and I'm often in the 1500-1650 range, so I don't see that eating less than that is a good idea. Maybe I should just have some patience. And maybe I should set a goal to quit eating after 7pm. I seem to be getting a lot of my calories later at night, even though it's in my calorie range.
Do you like this new arrangement, the blogging first, followed by all the data? I think it will be better, or at least more interesting for everyone.
