For three weeks now, the scale has not moved in the right direction. I don't know what I"m doing wrong. However, I do know I haven't been as vigilant as I was in January. So it's back to the daily task of consistently tracking points and keeping myself from cheating here and there that might add up to a lot and I don't realize it. I have some crock-pot meals to try week. I hope that I can do better and get back on the downward slope. Today is the first day in MONTHS that has been warm enough for no coat. I think I'm going to go and explore the Greenway path near my house. But not until I've had some food. I wish life didn't cause so many things that are getting in the way of this. On the upward side, I did prepare a new recipe that I enjoyed this week and ate it for lunch every day! IT was Turkey Sausage Baked Ziti! I also went to the gym twice. I was hoping to start Couch to 5k this week, but after day one of jogging and walking I had the worst shin pain, I've ever experienced. I tried to push through it for day 2, but I just couldn't do it. I went to the gym anyways. Out to catch the hours of sunshine before they disappear.

Frustration and the Slide Back


I have had a stressful last two weeks with work stress and adjusting to having a roommate that has an infant. I have gained nearly 2 pounds back. I have lost my focus slightly and I have derailed many of my weight-loss efforts. I must get back to the basics and plan my meals and follow through on those plans. I have also slacked on my tracking of my food, with the craziness of school and several days have been so crazy that I haven't even eaten lunch. I'm determined to get this scale moving in the right direction again. UGH! This battle stinks and it very hard to maintain when things seem to be crazy all around me. Get FOCUSED Megan! :)
