I HATE Daily Weigh IN

Nothing frustrates me more than weighing in in the morning and seeing the scale go up when I seem to be doing everything right. I added more exercise this week…even ran TWICE which I hate. I worked out 5 out of seven days, kept my portions sizes low, eating mostly when I was hungry. Even when I ate out last night at dinner I was in control. I stopped at one small piece of bread. Asked for a box after a little of the appetizer, ordered steak instead of pasta AND got FULL after only half of my little meal. So I boxed it up! And I still am up a pound since yesterday.

Problem is. I was already up two pounds! It’s so frustrating that my body normally fluctuates these two pounds anyway, but to add this one pound is down right depressing! I haven’t lost anything since going off HCG and I’m getting discouraged that I can’t.

Of course, I probably can, and the pound I gained will probably come off by tomorrow, I hope! But at what cost? Do I have to totally cut carbs and sugar out of my diet if I stand a chance on losing weight? Seems I do best on protein…

Oh well, not going to think about it all day. I’m going to do what I know is right. Drink more water today, no sugar and still exercise. Even if the scale isn’t going down, I know my body is better for it! AND people, don’t say it’s muscle gain, it’s too EARLY for that. Only a week into my exercise routine. I just really wish I found what is going to work for me and my body!

It probably wouldn’t hurt to start recording my food again, but honestly, my appetite and consumption is half of what it was. Then again, I’m 20 pounds lighter so I NEED less. Oh well, needed this rant! I really want to do this the fight and natural way, but it’s so discouraging when there are more setbacks than results.
