I don’t know what’s wrong with me, other than I’m getting frustrated at being stuck just over 200 and can’t get below it. I know it was the Holiday weekend, and graduation and my daughter’s 18th birthday, so I didn’t exactly stick to the low carb thing and I definitely didn’t get in much exercise. Although the few days my inlaws were here, we did get out and walk, at least once. But, other than that, I didn’t get any real exercise in.

I did weigh in on Wednesday at an even 204. So I stayed the same, no loss, no gain. Which is pretty good I guess. I’m just so stinking frustrated I can’t get below 200!!! I want it more than anything and I feel like I’m going to sabotage myself soon if something doesn’t happen. I’m so good at encouraging others to stick with it, and I WANT to stick with it, I really do, but lately I’ve been giving in to Fritos, and had a cheeseburger, and earlier I had a bite of my daughter’s Snicker’s bar. Now those few things on their own aren’t too bad. I’ve limited the Fritos to a serving size, the cheeseburger was on a wheat bun, and it was truly only one bite of the Snicker’s bar. Oh I also tried one of those new Pretzel M & M’s. Yes, just one, just to see what they tasted like, and honestly they weren’t as amazing as I imagined. The Snicker’s bar on the other hand, was soooo good! Haha.

I did do Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred today with my son, so that was good. I’ve been trying to drink the full 64 oz. of water or tea, but so far have only had half today. I mean over all I haven’t done too bad, calorie wise. I think I’m beating myself up though because I didn’t complete the two weeks of Phase One on South Beach. I did have a nice whole wheat tortilla wrap for lunch today with ham and turkey, cheese, lettuce and mustard. No mayo or anything like that. So, I guess I just need to stop and take a look at the good things I have done and quit looking at the negative. Geez.

How are you all doing at your weight loss efforts? Do you need some encouragement to keep going? I do!
