About Me

My photo
I am a small town girl living the big city life with my superhero hubby and our superhero- in-training son! I love Jesus and junior mints and have a secret addiction to Neil Diamond and Cat Steven's music. I love a good theme party, the smell of pretty stationary, a good book and a glass of ice tea with an orange slice in it. I am fairly certain that given a cape and a nice tiara, I could save the world.

Ugh, really?

I'd be lying to you if I said I'm happy this morning.  I know, I know, 5 pounds in two weeks is something to be proud of but losing only .2 pounds this past week just has me flat out discouraged. I think I was hoping for Biggest Loser type weight loss this morning where I step on the scale and 12 pounds has disappeared but as my hubby says "you'd have to exercise like 6  hours a day to get those results".  I know I should be happy that it's a loss and not a gain but I'm not.  I have a big pout on my face and tears in my eyes because if I am fighting this hard and making major dietary changes and all I get as a result is .2 pounds it's going to be a very long hard year for me.
Not giving up, just a little sad in my heart this morning.

  2. Just remember too that water weight plays a factor. I remember one morning I woke up and was 3 lbs heavier than I was the day before. Don't feel discouraged!

  4. Every little bit counts! at least you didn't gain. Keep with it and don't let this be the reason your cheat. That is what I always do and it just defeats the whole journey. Big hugs to you today.
