Okay, so I sort of blew the weekend. Didn't exercise at all, and I ate a lot of very (VERY) salty stuff, so I'm having to use my first freebie.......and I'm not happy about it. I was doing so well before my vacation this summer, and now I just can't get back in the groove. I think it is that I'm just not "that big" anymore, so it is harder to see why I need to get smaller when I'm being faced with a peanut butter cup. But I'm going to really try and kick it back in gear this week.

MonteCristo: Hey don't beat yourself up, did you see the 840 calories I posted yesterday that was 3 chocolate bars I had for dinner! So you ate some crappy stuff you'll do better today as will I. I bet you are right it is water retention, TOM always makes me gain 5-10, if I don't use that tea mixture.


Shan84: I would bring dinner with you because you are going to be so hungry and tempted to cheat when you get home. And a big CONGRATS on your 4.5lbs weight loss!
