Little Ms. Cranky Pants

Hey guys.  *hides sheepish and apologetic grin*

So yeah, my last post was rather cranky wasn't it?  Sorry about that.....sometimes my temper gets the better of me.  Well, let me start by thanking everyone for their most helpful and might I add, AWESOME suggestions for my tracking allergy.  It's still a challenge for me but I am getting better at it.

I purchased a three month journal which I sometimes write in and sometimes I use my phone app to record but mostly I just went back to eating power foods.  I needed to reset my clock so to speak.  Well mission accomplished.  I feel inspired again.....I so needed that.  I happy to report that I am .6 (point six) of a pound away from 40lbs lost!!!  Super Squee!  Mother Nature is visiting so I have no doubt that next Tuesday's weigh in will be a good one as well.

I'm still working out.... a lot.  And I am really enjoying it.  It really does affect my mood in a very positive way.  However, I had to stop the C25K program due to a hip flexor injury.  I think that I am still too heavy to put that much pounding pressure on my joints.  I will rest for a month and then try again and see where I stand.

So how is the summer treating all of you?  :D

Better Late Than Never, Right? RIGHT?

Life has been busy and a little crazy but then again who's hasn't.  I wish I was a more consistent writer but I have been trying to work through some life issues that I won't be sharing on the world wide interwebs.  I'm not feeling very poetic or pithy this evening so I will do bullet points of my past three weigh ins:
  • Weigh in on 5/17 up 2.4
  • Weigh in on 5/24 down 1.8
  • Weigh in on 5/31 down .6
See that lovely pattern there.  I'm trying to pass that hurdle.  Exercise is great and fun for me.  I am still doing the C25K program, Zumba, weights and now a core class.  Tracking, however, is the bane of my existence.  I am working at having a better outlook on it but it really truly is very much a struggle for me.  The thought of recording every single thing I put in my mouth drives me bonkers!  Oh well, I'll have to get over it some how.

Do you guys have any tips or tricks to make tracking easier or even to give me a better outlook on it?
HELP?
