I know what you mean

In reference to the two blog posts below, I know what both of you mean. I hit the scale on Friday and lost 3.6 pounds for the two week period. It was a little disappointing for me, because I feel I've been doing everything right, for the most part anyway. I mean, shouldn't these pounds be MELTING off of me?!?!

I have to remember that I'm usually my biggest critic and a loss is a loss. I wouldn't have lost anything if I had been sitting on my couch eating bon bons. I know I should be happy with any loss. It's not like the weight went on overnight, and it's not going to come off that way either. But, saying it and believing it are two different things entirely. And, I get irritated with myself for achieving what I feel are poor results.

Yesterday was frustrating, but today I'm better. I'm trying to take it as a challenge to be even more active and work out harder. After all, it's calories in minus calories out equals weight loss, right? Thankfully, I picked up a Wii before this program began. It's been a lot of fun doing my workouts w/games and I don't have to try and set time aside to go the gym.

So for everyone who's frustrated, I feel your pain. But going back to old bad behaviors isn't going to help.
