The Last 20 Pounds

This week was a more normal week of eating mostly allowed foods and exercising just about every day, so I did manage to lose 0.8 pounds, or about the normal amount for me.

I'm still having trouble writing down my intake, so this week I'm going to try (again) to do better with that.

I think I'm getting to the "last 20 pounds" threshold.  Veteran dieters say that the last 20 pounds are the hardest to lose, which makes sense, since the less weight you have, the less energy it takes to haul that smaller carcass around.  That means that the number of calories consumed and the amount of exercise I do now are not going to be enough before long.  I'm going to have to step it up.

So this week I'm going to examine ways to do that without getting too hungry and going off my eating plan.

Wish me luck.
