The Realities of Dieting

When I started this diet I realized there would be a week when I wouldn’t lose weight or perhaps that I would gain weight. Since I have lost weight almost every week, I knew this time would come before I was ready for it and that I would be really disappointed. And that time is now.

I gained almost a pound back and have to assess what I can do better so that I can reach my goal. I am still happy that I’ve lost a little more than 8 pounds in just over a month. I can see the difference and I can definitely feel the difference with my clothes. Those are all very important things to keep in mind before I beat myself up. The reality is I went out more last week, which included eating out and drinking. I went over my points 4 days, with only 0.5 extra points remaining. I missed a day or two in the gym and when I used the 30 Day Shred DVD, I skipped a few intervals.

This week will be tough. But I’m ready.
