Note sure why - but frustrated by plateau

I'm not sure precisely why but I'm frustrated by my plateau.

On the one hand, the exercise numbers are still there -- but the caloric numbers undoubtedly rose this week. I started a new job -- with the same governmental entity -- but this job is much more sittin around, gnawing at copious amounts of available food.

Chocolate in one office; muffins on another day -- daily popcorn (which is fine nutritionally -- if it were only the popcorn then it would be no big deal). But I also dealt with cake another day I think. So I'm going to have to be careful at this office. And the clerk room is filled with candy -- particularly the snickers energy bars and green mints that I love (and, oh yea, hershey kisses). And V's office down the hall is fully stocked with chocolate too.

So, it should be no great surprise why I had another plateau this week. Furthermore, I was off for two days of exercise -- which would also explain the relatively low number of burned calories -- coupled with a higher intake.

In the end, it's hard to argue that I've "plateaud" -- when for the previous six months I've shown steady declines when I've coupled hard workouts with smart eating. That's the magic formula; it's not either or -- you've got to do both.

So I think I just need to stop wallowing in it --- and get out there and get it done.

As a matter of face -- I'm heading out for a swim. I can take my frustrations out there. . .
