Today wasn't a good day. I had very little energy, was sore, exhausted and frustrated all day long. All because I decided to weigh myself this morning. I will never learn! I know my weight goes up & down throughout the week, I know muscle weighs more than fat and most importantly I know it's only been 3 days since I steped up my game. BUT, why the h... after sticking to the diet, and working my butt off, did the scale show me a 2.5lbs weight gain (since Sunday) this morning???? I have at least 30lbs of fat to lose. When I was doing WeightWatchers I lost 1-3lbs each week eating junk, working out 3 days a week. The 5lbs and 2" I've lost so far mean absolutely nothing to me. That was probably just water. I just can't understand why I have such a hard time getting below 197lbs when I'm doing so much more and eating all healthy and 5-6 meals a day. It's keeping me from being motivated about working out. I'm sorry everybody, I don't mean to bring you all down, just had to let it out. Now I can shut up and keep trying to get some results that will make me happy.
