Sending out an SOS

Alrighty now go back and sing that title how you know it goes.....

Is this the 7 week itch?? I have had a bit of a rough-ish week. Workouts are killer, no doubt. I'm very sore every day. I hit those back muscles between my shoulder blades, bring on the butterfly, baby!! I've gone further in my cardio than ever. I've done a little extra, but not too much. All good. Heres the deal-ee-o, though.

I just feel "off". My weight just seems sooooooo stuck! This is about the worst plateau I've ever faced. I've lost a measly 4 pounds in almost 7 weeks. That is pathetic. How much is there to the "eat more to lose more" theory?? I guess I'm afraid to try it out and experiment. I've read BFFM, I have read it a couple times. I guess I am confused, between Tom Venuto and Hussman. Hussman is all about the deficit, but BFFM seems more about more cardio. I would do more cardio, but I am afraid that my knees will not hold up for it, let alone my shins. Which brings me to my next dilemma.

I feel like if I am not running I am not working hard enough. I really hate the elliptical. The bike is out of the question. I REALLY hate that. Should I change it up to the elliptical?? I do remember Cheryl Muhr saying that if it was the thing she didn't want to do she hit it the hardest. Mabye I need to do that.

Its like I am so confused on what is best for me I just keep hardly eating and running and lifting hard, even though I need to change some things. My veggie intake is WAY low. I haven't had chicken since monday. I haven't had a clean veggie since, um, last week sometime. I've eaten clean, but its been egg whites and protein powder and string cheese and apples. No wonder I caved to some chocolate cake tonight. I feel like crap about that. I wouldn't call it a binge but obviously, not OK. Then Mark brought home a big thing of ice cream and lofthouse cookies. Don't worry, though, the cake did my poor guilt in and theres no WAY I'm bending to that. To my credit, though, I was REQUIRED by MARK to HAND DIP almonds in melted chocolate, and bake and frost 2 chocolate cakes tonight. Sorry, but I'm gonna lick my fingers. I'm not DEAD~ LOL With all that I didn't do too bad, and I hope I haven't opened a door to a place i don't want to visit..."Offthewagonsville" Nope, NOT going there. I just need to clear the fog and confusion in my brain right now. SO many things I could change, where do I start??
