Ups and Downs

I have a series of ups and downs lately, and I am a little frustrated.

Up - I can fit into smaller pants

Down - I keep losing tiny amounts of weight, for some reason ... I know it's suppose to be progress, but it's very frustrating when you avoid things you love, like french fries and chocolate cake, and still only lose 1 or 2 pounds.

Up - My husband, friends and co-workers have said they can tell I'm losing weight.

Down - I haven't quite had the time to exercise, and I know if I could carve out some time, I could lose weight more quickly.

Up - I have discovered Crystal Light On-The-Go packs, so my water isn't as blah. Water is supposed to make you less hungry, but frankly, all it has done for me is make me use the bathroom more frequently. At least I'm hydrated!

My next weigh-in is Monday. This past weigh-in was a little disappointing; I only lost 1 pound. I'm drinking water until my eyes pop this time, so hopefully that will help, since everyone keeps telling me that's the trick. Wish me luck!

Getting back

As expected, I got a little off track for the holidays. It's very hard to stick to 26 points when people are shoving cookies, cakes and pies in your face every 5 seconds. I did only gain 2 pounds, however, and have already worked them off. I'm not going to give myself too hard of a time about it, because I know that I could've done much worse.
My next meeting is Thursday, so I'll update then.
