Oh dear.  


Instead of losing any weight, I managed to gain almost two pounds.


I'm not going to lie; I am really disappointed in myself this week, but I know that I only have myself to blame.  I had a really fattening (but delicious) meal last night.  I went to bed knowing how it would affect me in the morning and, let's face it, the rest of the week.


It's put quite a damper on my mood today.  I know that I am blowing things out of proportion, that the two pounds will most likely be gone in a few days anyway, but still.  It is still disappointing.


I have been reminding myself that I am just getting started on this whole thing again and that it wasn't easy last time, either.  The motivation and drive to do this is there and realistically, I know that dramatic results don't just happen.  It's gradual and requires patience.  It also requires me eating better and exercising more.


Speaking of exercise, I have started the "Couch to 5K" program!  I have done two days so far and I really enjoy it.  I've always been envious of those who could jog or run for long periods of time, and hopefully this will get me that much closer to doing it myself.  I do enjoy jogging and feel a huge sense of accomplishment when I can run for at least a mile.  I'm eager to see the results of this; if I can run 5K, it will be a huge success on my end.


I plan on tweaking my work-outs a bit more this week so hopefully we'll see a change next Sunday!
