Summers "off"

August. Already. Nearly mid-August now - and I have not dropped a single pound since - umm (thinking...) - June. I've remained steadfast in my activity and have even ramped up my workouts. I just broke a new personal record for my mile run coming in at 8:11, and I think I would've broken that if I hadn't started screwing around with my ipod 1/2 way through the run. Today I placed 10th in my age group at the Balance 5K at 29:45 (two seconds off of my personal best...) But I have not lost weight. 

I haven't been trying - necessarily. On average, I burn over 1000 calories in a 1.5 hour workout. That's alotta calories. I often fail to replenish myself with the right foods. I know what I'm doing wrong. I know what I need to do to get back on the weight loss track. But there is little motivation. I think I'm comfortable. And that's a wee bit depressing. Dropping just 10 more pounds would increase my running times. It would put less pressure on my joints, make my muscles more efficient, further lower my blood pressure and yadda yadda yadda. See? I know. I just need to - do it.

But how? I've done Weight Watchers in the past. Had monster success by counting 'points', but now I'm lazy. I don't want to count anymore. I need a good plan with lots of fruit and veggies and the right mix of carbs and protein for my body. But oh - such work to find this combination. I just don't have it in me to do the research today. Maybe tomorrow... ?
