Lose 20 pounds

well, i gave up on weighing myself everyday because it was just discouraging me. so it’s been about two weeks since my last weigh-in and i’m happy to report i’m down five pounds!! only fifteen more to go baby!

spent last week at the beach. ate way too much. had ice cream 3 times. big no-no. i’m right back to where i started last month!

i’m getting back on track starting today! salad for lunch, veggies for snacks, sensible dinner, no ice cream!!

i’ve decided not to weigh myself every day anymore. it’s just too depressing. i’m gonna go for once a week. friday. just not this friday, as i’ve not been sticking to my diet very well this week. one of my best friends is in town and we’ve hit the bars a few nights and beer certainly isn’t a diet drink!

i do, however, think i look like i lost some weight. my pants seem to be looser and i think my butt looks a little smaller.

i’m back up to 138.5. i’m so tired of being the only one in my family who is gaining instead of losing on this damn diet! i keep telling myself it’s water weight (almost my time of the month) but i just want to sit down and cry. i’m sick of depriving myself of the foods i love only to see the scale go in the wrong direction anyhow. i can’t give up, i won’t give up!

yesterday i said i would complain today if i didn’t lose. well, i didn’t lose and i can’t complain. i didn’t drink enough water yesterday and i didn’t go for my walk. instead i went out with my fiance and indulged in a few beers with some of our friends. i did switch to light beer which i call “diet” beer (it makes me feel like i’m not cheating so much!)

tonight we are supposed to go listen to a band and then head out for a night on our friends boat. i will drink water, i will drink water, i will drink water…

well, i didn’t gain and i didn’t lose. i guess i really can’t complain since i didn’t drink much water yesterday. i’m gonna drink lots of water today and take my walk and then tomorrow i can complain if i don’t lose!

i was down another .5 this morning which puts me at 137. i didn’t walk last evening, just didn’t have enough time. i did, however, drink about 72oz of water yesterday. so today i’m going to drink my 64oz of water, snack on fruit and take my 2 mile walk and hopefully i’ll be down another .5 tomorrow!!

it’s been a really tough week. i was back up to my starting weight and now i’m back down to 137.5. i’ve been drinking water like it is going out of style and i’ve been snacking on fresh fruit (blueberries, strawberries, cherries and watermellon) throughout the day. been walking 2 miles every evening with my mom. hopefully the weight start to melt off very soon.

Back down to 137.5. Still up 1.5 from where I was on Saturday. I downed a ton of water yesterday and I’ll do the same today. It’s so hard to keep my spirt up when the scales aren’t going down but I have to and I will!

I was so proud of myself. 136.5 on Saturday, 136 on Sunday. Then I got up this morning and I was back to 139! I don’t get it. I didn’t even fall off my diet over the weekend. Oh the frustration.
