Frustration

About a month ago I started back on Weight Watchers. I also started back to the gym 3-5 days a week. The first week I lost a little over 8 pounds. I know that's a lot for one week, and I also know that is not a normal weekly weight loss. However, for the next couple weeks after that I stayed at pretty much that exact same weight (plus or minus tenths here and there). Then, this past week, continuing a similar eating routine as well as beginning a 3-day a week boot camp, I actually gained a pound every day when I got on the scale. Are you kidding me?? What am I doing wrong? In the past month I have increased (by a lot) the amount of water I drink, decreased (again by a lot) the amount of diet coke I drink. Additionally, prior to this month I probably ate something fried (fast food) at least one meal a day (if not more), and now I have maybe had something little fried once a week (if that). I have seriously increased the amount of fuits and vegetables I am eating, as well as decreased the portion sizes of pretty much everything I eat. And the result...nothing. What am I doing wrong? I am totally and completely frustrated.

I think I might be crazy!

Yesterday I signed up (and paid good money) for a "Lunch Bunch Boot Camp" starting after spring break. I think I might be crazy! I had seen "flyers" about the boot camp on my gym's FB page, as well as on my favorite trainer from the gym's page, so I decided to just bite the bullet. I think I might be crazy! So for four weeks, three days a week, I will be tortured working out at lunch. I think I might be crazy! I'm totally looking forward to it...can't you tell? I think I might be crazy!

Motivation?

Well, I have finally managed find some motivation to lose weight. I know I need to lose a whole lot of weight, but for some reason I just could not get myself into the right frame of mind to start doing it. But, this past week both Eric and I decided it was absolutely time, and we both stayed committed all week. One week at a time (or maybe one day at a time) is how I am trying to approach it this time.

And, the good news is, Eric lost 11 pounds this past week, and I lost 8. You've gotta' start somewhere.
