From New Years to the beginning of September, my weight-loss was fairly consistent (if not accelerating). I dropped 35 pounds over that period. Then I was sick for a week and didn't exercise. And I was sluggish the week after that.
I have yet to get fully back on board with my morning exercise routine since then. Where I was working out 4 or 5 days a week before, I'm lucky if I work out 2 or 3 days now.
This is a domino situation, IMO, caused by my staying up later at night. If the boys take a long time to get to bed at night, that pushes how late JD and I get around to watching our DVR'ed shows, and then I don't find myself rolling over for sleep until around midnight. When that happens, I'm just awake enough at 6am to turn off the alarm and roll over.
I MUST get back in the habit. While I'm grateful that this whole time I've plateaued my weight has just been fluctuating up and down by about 3 pounds, it is discouraging to look at the BMI/weight graph and see the long slope down segue to a growing horizontal line.
