Alright well, I'm on day 11 of phase 1 and aside from my anniversary, which I did pretty well on all things considered, I've been pretty faithful. Making things from my SBD book and recipes from the website. I even stopped eating 2-3 servings of nuts a day about three days ago...
But my weight is still where it was when I started phase 1, I lost two pounds right off the bat but now I'm back up to 155... I haven't changed my ticker because I was hoping it was water weight, so I cut sodium down as much as I could this weekend and I'm still 155... it's frustrating, and I'm losing motivation. The sour dough bread my husband has in the fridge is looking very tempting.
The problem with making "the decision" to do it, is that you have to keep making that decision every time temptation rears its ugly head.
I have a crockpot of home made pizza soup (tomato sauce/tomato soup no sugar), low fat mozzarella, tons of veggies and low fat ground beef) stewing at home for the next couple of days. I really like the way it tastes so I know I'll be able to stay on plan for the next couple of days with my eating, but the discouragement is making me want wine oh so bad. Don't have any in my house so as long as I stay away from restaurants and stores I should be safe.
Any ideas as to why I've stayed at this level? I exercised today... haven't been doing that lately because I was moving, but moving boxes and unpacking them isn't exactly activity on par with being a couch potato...
