A plateau thought

I've posted on here lots about this dang plateau and all my frustration with it. So I won't vent today, I promise. However I do think I've figured out a possible reason for it. I was looking back, and realized that I started BC two month prior to when this plateau really started. And then around the same time as the plateau really beginning (first of November), I switched to skipping the inactive pills and just starting a new pack. So I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it, and will be asking my doc about it next time I go in. One possible theory is that its making me gain weight, but since I'm still staying on calories and exercising, I'm just maintaining. I don't know. But it helps me feel better if so, to have a CAUSE. This has been extremely agitating.

An Ice Day

Today, our local school districts closed due to ice, so we got the day off! D and I puttered around, I let him go outside for a bit to skate around. He loved it for a bit but then he took two hard falls and decided he was DONE. So back inside we go! We did get out of the house for a bit.
