Weight loss, oh weight loss, why have you forsaken me?! Last night for dinner I simply had one hot dog and steamed broccoli. I skipped my yogurt snack and was hoping I could trick the scale into sneaking me at least a one pound loss but to no avail. You always hear successful dieters speak of their plateau, that moment when they do everything right but still can't lose. That is probably a little over dramatic, as I think it's a bit early to label this a plateau, but I'm feeling a little over dramatic so that's what I'll call it.
Two friends of mine wanted to hang out with me, I hate that. lol I must be like the worst friend in the world, but I hate being bothered with plans and all that other hoop-la. My one friend, Judy, wanted me to go on a little trip with her today while the kids are in school. I kindly declined. Although I would love to skip my gym day and chow down on some deep fried lunch I do not think that is the proper way to handle my frustration towards the evil scale. It wants me to fail, but I'll show it! My other friend, Trisha, wants to have a 'girls night' tomorrow night. Maybe I'm the only woman in the world who feels this way, but I would rather be on my couch watching a movie with my husband and kids than out at the bar listening to girls chatter on about whatever it is they chatter on about. She's not a very close friend of mine, thus my disinterest in her lol. Guess I'm more of an introvert. Small circle of friends, that's more than enough for me.
So in spite of the scale, and his evil plans to sway my dedication, I will be going to the gym today, watching my calorie intake, and trying to make smart plans for the weekend. Wish me luck, and send me all of your positive energy, I'm going to need it!
Happy Friday everyone!

I took a peek at your food journal, are you recording everything you're eating? If so, you aren't eating much and that could be the reason for the stall. If you simply haven't recorded everything then never mind. :) I'm like you with the girls night out. Every so often it is nice to meet a friend and visit, but I'm not big on going to the bar and gossiping, I'd much rather stay home with the family and watch a movie. You are doing so well with getting to the gym!! You are an inspiration for me to stop making excuses and get in gear. Good luck!! I'm sending you positive vibes for the weekend. :)

Thank you so much mars! :-) I am not recording everything I'm eating. With the new job I work evenings so my 'dinner' is at work. I more or less plan everything up to that point, so that at the last minute at work I know how many calories I can afford. The goal is to have much better planning next week, but I have stuck between 1200-1500 hundred calories all week. It must just be having been sick. I'm feeling much healthier now, so hopefully next week I'll make up for it!!

Probably just a bump in the road- hang in there, you're making healthy choices and the reward will come! :)

I know that you have been sick and started a new job. Pretty darn stressful on the body. Our bodies are smart little buggers and compensate all different ways when we put them to the test. I think that if you get some extra rest this weekend, drink your water and stay on program with food, that darn scale will be your friend. So I think a night on the sofa surrounded by the peeps you love is a perfect idea. I avoid social events because I just don't want to be tempted by food. I work so hard that the temptation is such a punishment. I find more pleasure in going to the gym or riding my bike. Hang in there and no more talk of Mr. Plateau. I know we all fear is visit. lol I am sending you positive energy! God Bless friend. Hugs~
