Week 16

I'm down 2 pounds this week so I lost the pound I gained the week before plus one. I'm happy with that considering that on Friday morning I weighed 5 pounds more than I did the previous morning. I was bummed to say the least, but I chalked it up to all the sodium I had ingested on Thursday and decided to just drink lots of water and not worry about it too much. Those 5 pounds slowly went away and on Monday I had actually lost weight.

We are still eating low calorie/low fat food for the most part and watching our portion sizes. We keep track of everything we eat and when we have something that might not be the healthiest option, we write it down and move on. For me, it is important to not beat myself up over 1 cookie or slice of cheesecake (mmm, cheesecake!). I just recognize that it wasn't the best choice and get right back on track. I am focused and determined to achieve my weight loss goal.
