Fall backs, fall back ups!

Sometimes diets just suck, I won't lie to you! This morning I woke up feeling great because of the awesome job I did last night at Applebees! After work, we went out and I brought my own food! It was portioned out, I avoided the nachos, mozi sticks and quesadilla! PLUS, again avoided the pop and drank lots of water.

So, like I said, I woke up this morning feeling great about myself and this diet!  While being optimistic, I stood on the scale and what did it say? 2 pounds...UP!!! WTF!?  Oh man, I wanted to give up right then and there! I was so mad.  Yes, I've gone down 8, but now up two is only minus 6! I know, boo hoo, but that is a big mental challenge and an even bigger slap in the face!

Think about it, you do everything you're supposed to then the scale says "F-You Cara, I'm gonna do what I want! And I want to try to destroy everything you've been working for!"  Well Mr. Scale, for about 5 minutes you won!

Luckily it takes me more than 5 minutes to get ready, 'cus otherwise I probably would have eaten a whole dang box of Lucky Charms! Oh..my...gosh, I was beyond depressed.  Then my wonderful husband stepped in and reminded me, I HAVE lost 6 still...in two weeks.  He wouldn't let me give up. So I sat down, turned on my DVR episodes of I Love Lucy, and Colin made me my scrambled egg whites with oatmeal.

So worry not my dear friends, I've bounced back up.  We went to go see The Green Hornet today (p.s. it WAS a good movie despite what critics have been saying) and I drooled over the popcorn, the pop and ALL the candy that was around me.  However, I did not touch...*pat on back* So, back to the diet, back to being strong and back to not touching my Lucky Charms...someday I'll catch you Mr. Lucky, someday!
