I made a huge effort to exercise more than usual this week. I spent a great deal of time weight lifting at the gym, which I don't normally do, as well as walking with my step-kids and mother-in-law. Every morning I walked about 25 minutes with the children to school, and then fifteen minutes home again (it always takes longer with kids). I went walking with my mother-in-law along the Jordan River Parkway on Wednesday, and I walked 30 minutes with her on Friday (today). My legs and feet are a little sore, as well as my back and arms from weight lifting, but Brad has been very nice to me and has given me plenty of massages, much to my delight.
Despite my extra effort to exercise more this week, I unfortunately did not lose any weight. My plateau continues to linger on, much to my dismay, but I have every hope that I will get past it soon enough. I just need to be patient and try harder not to cheat with food. Brad has suggested that I keep a food diary, and that I weigh myself every day so that I can monitor myself daily instead of weekly. I will try it his way and report how that goes.
Please keep cheering me on! I need the extra encouragement to help me get through this difficult, unchanging time. I'm tired of waiting and working each week and seeing no positive results when I weigh myself. I feel distressed at times.

A food diary really works--it's kind of a drag, but it works. Keep up the good work!
