I am a planner in many ways. And I have actually found that planning my food and points for the day is something I do habitually now. I also will often pick a few recipes at a time, plan my shopping list accordingly and make and freeze meals every other week or so.

I am open to any and all ideas. THIS PLATEAU WILL NOT BEAT ME.. Here are some of the things I am routinely doing: Exercise: I am working out (biking, basketball, step class, elipitcal machine) 4-5 times a week.
