Disappointment and refocus

Well, today I stepped on the scale to see if I had made any progress with the small steps that I had been trying. Guess what? I actually gained another freaking pound. Normally this would be the point I give up and go crawling back to my soda. But today I didn't I decided to keep trying. I am going to keep trying for the next 11 weeks and see how this works. I know I should be eating a really healthy lunch, dinner and breakfast but since those changes haven't been on my plan yet I really haven't been doing that. Hopefully, if I keep up my water intake and no fast food (I really need to stop eating out though.) it will finally work this time. I think this is how my friend Tracy lost weight.

I think I will go back and re-read the section for this week. With that I will start the affirmations. That is one thing I haven't been doing enough yet.

I keep telling myself that I even if lose the weight at my 12 week mark or even a little after I will still look amazing on my honeymoon.

Oh yeah, I quit taking my Lexapro today. We will see how that affects my mood and my weight loss. I have heard that anti-depressants can cause weight gain. But really thinking about it I am thinking it has more to do with my eating and exercising habits than the meds I am on.

Exercise is the next step in the Vice -Busting Diet. I may try to get some extra exercise in this week to jump start my weight loss. I may even try to sneak some weight lifting in to help. We'll see if I really even get around to it or not. It has been so darn hot this past week I haven't wanted to do anything. Oh well we'll see how it goes. Anyways, I need to go work on our menu for this week and maybe some reading.
