Monday was my weigh in and unfortunately I gained 0.6 lbs, which I was a little disappointed about, because I worked so hard to stay on program, and work out, but I was prepared for possibly gaining because I had been doing a ton of weight work, and I made a few bad choices during the weekend, but I keep thinking, it could have been a lot bigger of a gain.  I do want to see the number on the scale go down, but at the same time, I think I have a tendency to get so caught up obsessing over the scale that I forget to realize that I am still losing inches and my clothes are fitting better. I  have a pair of capri’s that I bought from express just a couple weeks ago, they’re a size 10, and the day I bought them they were just a lil tight in the hips.  Now only about three weeks and a few washes later, they’re fitting great and getting loose!!!  So the endless squats are doing something good for me.

My biggest challenge right now is trying to get past that self doubt.  it’s generally right about now that I’ll get on the scale and not see a huge change, or look in the mirror, and only see what I don’t like, and then I’ll give up.  I’m going to try to focus on pushing past those negative feelings, and keep telling myself it can be done

As for my working out,  I’m still going strong, and trying to get in my cardio, I’m walking on the treadmill, and doing turbo jam, and plan to hopefully start getting back in the gym and getting on the elliptical, so we’ll see how that goes.  My diet is still a problem, but if anything I’ve just changed my portion sizes, and made a few changes in what I choose to eat.  The other day my mom and sister wanted taco bell, and I declined and had a salad instead!!  I try to make lunch my biggest meal of the day which is working out pretty good.  It’s all about having self control, and I’m working on it!!
