Okay, I may be crazy on this issue.  I had been eating extremely well for weeks and making it to the gym 5-6 nights a week and the scale wasn’t really cooperating.  I went from 184 to 183 and back to 184 and so on for forever. 

I had a date night with my husband Friday so I didn’t do really well that day.  No exercise and we went to my favorite Mexican restaurant for dinner.  His birthday was Thursday and my birthday was Sunday.  That means that we went out to eat Thurs, Fri, and Sunday.  Through it all, I had only one bite of cake, not one piece.  But the eating out wasn’t really good:(  My diet still has not gotten back on track yet, but tomorrow it WILL.  I missed the gym Fri and Mon.   I just have felt like I have been really messing up.

So, I go to the gym tonight, fully expecting to see a gain of up to 3 or 4 lbs.  Imagine how shocked I am when I see that I am actually down a pound:)  I was thrilled but it really confuses me.  When I feel like I am doing fabulous, I stay the same.  When I feel like I have been cheating right and left, I show a loss!  What gives???

This is not the first time something like this has happened to me.  Can anyone explain this to me???

Today has not been a great day.  My food choices have not been too good.  I haven’t eaten horribly fattening foods or anything like that.  I have just eaten too much:(  Breakfast I didn’t really do bad.  Lunch was where I messed up so if I do really good at dinner and get in my exercise then the day will be saved. 

I wanted to go to a convention near my home today.  It is called the smart living expo.  It supposedly has health screenings, many informational booths, and professional chefs to teach you to make healthy foods.  I had planned to go with a friend and I cannot get a hold of her.  My hubby had to go help his dad with a project so I have both of my kids.  I don’t really know how much I would learn at the expo with my 4 year old and my 16 month old tagging along.  Oh well!

My weight loss slow down has got me bummed too.  I was losing steadily for so long and now I just keep gaining and losing the same pound over and over.  One day I weigh 184 the next day 183 and so on.  It has been like this all week.  I have to work my way through this plateau.  I know I can do it.  I just have to NOT get discouraged and keep going:) 

So, one of my personal goals was to lower my cholesterol.  Right before I got pregnant with my second daughter, my dr. wanted me to start lipitor.  I was devastated!  I was only 26 years old and I couldn’t believe that I needed medication already.  Well, I never started the lipitor because you cannot take it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.  I recently went for my checkup and my cholesterol was back to normal!  I was so happy!  It is still in the high range of normal so I will continue to try and lower it, but it is normal!  No lipitor for me, Thanks.

Hello everyone!  I just wanted to share my excitement about the Biggest Loser: Couples that starts tonight.  I love this show.  I always feel motivated after watching and  I just adore Bob.  Anyway, just thought I would mention the show in case someone wants to watch it.
