The entire point of me doing this blog is to be honest with you & myself. 

It would be a mask of lies for me to post a cheery & inspirational blog today, when I feel anything but that.

I did the BIG "no no" this morning.  I stepped on the scale...

It said that I had gained 3 pounds back!  What?!?

With the food changes that I'm making, and all of the exercise that I'm doing, how is it POSSIBLE to gain?

That started my morning...and, it continued to go downhill from there.

I want so badly to lose this extra baby weight.  Honestly, I know that I'm never going to be a tall leggy model, but I just want to be a healthy weight.

I'm working so hard, and this was just a slap in the face.

So, this is what I've come up with...

I'm going to put away my scale & will only allow myself a once-a-week weigh in.  Every Friday I will update you with a loss or gain.

This isn't going to be easy for me, but I'm going to do it!  I'm working too hard to let something like this eat at me. 

So, I will continue to resist the ice cream & oreos...I'm not giving up...I just need to learn to work through this disappointment. 

Guess I'm not 20 anymore...darn!
