Today I reminded myself about why I'm not weighing in everyday. I wanted to know how I was doing on the 4th day of my goal and I was up further than when I started. It's so disheartening. I know all of the science behind it. I know that weight fluctuates and it depends on salt and exercise and body chemistry and blah blah blah, but it still feels like something must be wrong if I'm working this hard and having the opposite of success.
However, I was prepared for this (see, I'm learning from the past!). I know that I need to just trust in the process. I know not to give up, and more importantly, I know not to reduce my food intake in a desperate attempt to lose weight faster.
Instead, I'm going to live this day following the program. Three major changes: up my work out by 20 minutes, eat more fruit and veggies, and of course, drink more water.
That being said, I'm going to just keep plugging away. I'm going to get out of the house and do things today so that I'm not tempted to just sit and eat the day away.
Lesson learned yesterday: Calculate points of things BEFORE you eat them, not after. My "healthy" Saturday breakfast of Eggo Pumpkin Spice waffle with peanut butter was 11 points!
