Frustration

Well, this week was a really good "back on track" week for me.  I planned meals with lots of lean meats, veggies, and a carb or two.  Other than wednesday (which was my bad day), I've been right on target; and even then I stayed within limits using only a few of my weekly points.  My frustration comes when I look at the scale and see the same number I've seen the last two weeks.  The number will drop and rise like I'm on a teeter totter.  At one point the scale said I've everything from gained a pound, to lost 9.5lbs.  I know, I know "don't check your scale", but I've done it for so long that its natural habit and I like being able to see how my food impacts  my body, it helps keep me in line with my motivation. I was supposed to start my exercise plan this week, but the cold and snow have been good excuses for me....yesterday?  ooo uhhh iiiii had to wash my hair.  The excuses are unending in that area, the truth is getting started is hard, once I get into it I can go all the time.  Just one Jenn, just once.  All in all though, as frustrating as it has been, I've feel so much better about what I'm putting in my body, my self-control, and my healthy decisions; I even like the fact that my body did not like me wednesday night because of what I put in it-I had heard people talk about that feeling but had never experienced it for myself.  Today's plan is to drink lots of water and tea, eat lots of fruit and veggies, some chicken and I think either asparagus or brussels sprouts....mmmmmmm....I may end the day by enjoying either a hot cocoa or a skinny cow chocolate mint icecream sandwich.  YAY!
