Frustration and a new approach

I haven't written much lately, but I have still been putting in the effort.  I've been eating better, exercising more, and not seeing any results.  I cannot tell you how frustrating that is.  I'm not good at counting calories or keeping a food journal.  I know things like that would help, but I just don't have the time/patience/energy to do it.  I need help.  And sometimes it's the middle of the night and there's an infomercial on and you totally buy into it.
So I'm doing the 21 Day Fix.  It's basically portion control and an exercise program.  I'm on day 8, though I didn't do the exercise over the weekend.  I still tried to stay pretty much on diet, but that's not easy when you aren't at home.  The exercise is no joke.  I was not aware that you could get a cramp in an ab muscle (or that I had an ab muscle to get a cramp in).  My legs weren't fully functional for three days after the first workout. Before the weekend, I was down eight pounds from my heaviest.  I'm trying not to get on the scale too often.  I'm not trying to tell you I'm enjoying this whole process.  This is why us fat people stay fat.  But I'm still doing it.
