Do you ever get the feeling that you are running uphill?  On ice.  In the dark.  And your shoes have absolutely no traction.
That is is me.  On most days anyway. 
I exercise every day.
Everyday.
I eat healthy. 
Most of the time, I eat healthy.
In between eating crap- and that is my downfall.

No weight loss here the past couple weeks!  Again discouraging.
I am wondering if I should do something a bit more drastic- even for a kick-start.  Like a raw diet or something along those lines.  I am happy with my exercise routine for the last few months so I am good there!
Thanks for reading.

After a rough couple weeks, I am back on track again.  Unfortunately I did gain back a few of the pounds that I had lost....... but not as much as I would have thought.  So I am still down 20 pounds, which is great.

One has to get back on the horse, even when thrown, instead of watching the horse gallop away.

I like horses.

My diet/healthy eating hasn't been going well.  I am not sure what happened.  Sometimes I think that Life gets in the way.  I am going to try to re-focus this week and GET BACK ON TRACK!!

Ten pounds off by the end of Sept is the immediate goal!!!!

There is no video this week.  I haven't been doing well.  I am not sure why.  I haven't felt the pull, like I did the first few months.  I think when the weight loss comes off so slowly, that a person feels that it isn't worth it.  If you try so hard and it doesn't make a difference, the why bother?  Then one little snack won't hurt.  Then two.  Then three.  And pretty soon, a person is right back, eating all the crap that she used to eat.

I need to refocus.  I need some motivation.  I need something.  Any encouragement would be helpful!

Thanks!

Two pound weight gain this week which is very discouraging.  Not doing anything different.  Still exercising.  Still eating healthy with smaller portions.

I think I need to cut my carbs a bit as the past 3 weeks I have been eating a few more carbs.

I am trying not to get discouraged.

I won't be weighing in this week.

It doesn't take much to break the momentum.  A bit of stress, an upset, something in your life that isn't right. 

I am still exercising, which is good but the past week hasn't been as good food-wise.

This was my supper last night.  So I know I am still doing well but we did order pizza on Sunday- which isn't good but I know that I didn't eat like a pig, which is what I used to do.

I made homemade granola bars this morning.  I got the recipe from Food Doodles. 

Now they go into the freezer to harden up.

Onward and upward.  Or downward, really!
