#89 Weekly Weigh-In

This post may be a tad bit long, because I am a little upset and frustrated with myself. It may turn into a little bit of vent session.

I honestly thought I was going to post something different than what I am about so say. I had a gain this week, 1.6 to be exact. My heart was breaking after I weighed in. I have be playing with the same two to three pounds since October, right after my cousin's wedding. Granted I took a  little time off, but still I feel like I am in maintenance which would be fine if I was at goal, but I am not. So it is very frustrating; I feel like my body is telling me "NO, YOU CAN'T LOSE ANYMORE WEIGHT. I WON'T ALLOW IT."

Why is this happening? Is it because I have increased my exercise? I guess I need to put my new member hat on and start from the beginning. I know what I need to do.

I need to measure and track, add more veggies and fruits, and make sure I keep exercising. I just hope I can get to my goal of losing 10 pounds before Disney.

Mini Goals

• Track Every Little thing that touches my lips. I know I must do this to achieve my goals. Lately, I have been better but I guess there is always room for improvement. I will look up the right points and not just guess. I will measure my foods as best as I can.
• Exercise. I am going to continue with my Exercise Challenge that I gave myself. I will try to work out at least 5 times a week while remembering to drink lots of water. This week I exercised 4 times so far, but hopefully today I will walk on the treadmill or use my Wii fit or Zumba for the Wii.
• Eat more veggies & Fruits: I will try to incorporate more fruits and veggies everyday. At a salad to a meal or sauté some veggies in olive oil or Pam spray. I can make more fruit smoothies. 
• Drink more water and less soda: I know diet coke, even though it is 0 PointPlus values, is not exactly good for me. Lets be honest here; I am not giving it up all together, but I can cut down to one or two per week and on special occasions like going to the movies or something the water just doesn't go with. Also, if I am going to drink a diet soda, I need to remember to drink more water to flush the diet soda out of my system.
• Journals: I need to get back to writing in journals outside of this blog. I need to write down the things that I don't want to necessarily tell the world; stuff that is just for me. It may help and could be sort of the place where I can really vent.
