1. Excuses I have made: None. The only time I didn't exercise is when I was sick, but still ate on plan. That's not an excuse unless you're insane, it's just getting better. At least according to medical advice. And if my nervous breakdown + stomach thing flares up again, I will do it again. But I will probably introduce walking to replace the GWTP routine, because I hear it's good for stress. I might do that anyway. Keep doing the functional exercises but start doing more low intensity cardio, like double the time or more, but do it walking or doing yoga or tai chi, a little something every day. I need some kind of stress therapy in a bad way. And if I do, that will be ok, because I haven't seen miracles with this workout routine. Not yet anyway. I have met all my goals every week and ate on the Eating for Life plan 95% of the time. So far I've lost 1 pound. I haven't measured inches yet this week. I hate to say it, but my mental health comes first, even before losing weight. Some days the last thing I need is some minutes goal of high intensity cardio breathing down my neck with everything else that's going on. We'll see.
2. Foods I have trouble with:
Cheese
Ice Cream
