Protein Struggle
After a long break from diet and exercise, I am finally back on the wagon! This time around, I am eating a more clean, whole food diet, while eliminating sugar and processed foods. The biggest struggle I am having is meeting my protein goals. I eat lean meats or eggs with almost every meal, but could certainly eat more…

Weekend Slump
During the week, I am a model dieter/exercise addict, always under my calorie goals and exercising 5 days a week. But on the weekends, it's a different story. Saturday-Sunday I find myself eating more and exercising less. I am extremely motivated during the week, but with the sleeping in, couch sitting, movie watching and…

Dreaded Plateau
So I have been consistently logging into MFP since 8/19/11, eating my calorie goal and burning my calorie goal! Safe to say I have almost lost 20lbs. However, for the past week my weight has been stuck. Is 2 months in too soon to plateau? I am just beginning to nail this running thing down, and even switch between the…
