Nearly Three Months in

I started this journey in April. It's been one month since I last posted, and sadly I've only dropped down to 172 pounds. I dipped down to 170, but it went back up. I guess I should be glad that the scale is going the right direction in general, I just wish it was going faster :(. I know exactly what I am doing wrong. It's frustrating because it seems like it should be so easy. But things happen. You find yourself driving home from the beach after eating only turkey and cheese for lunch, and you are starving, so that bag of kettle corn looks really enticing. And then you opt for a margarita with dinner and dinner might have been a crossover meal when you intended for it to be an E meal. But today is a new day, and yesterday's transgressions have no bearing on today. This morning I am eating an E breakfast: oatmeal, nonfat greek yogurt, sweetener, and cinnamon. I will plan the rest of my meals accordingly and not impulsively eat. I don't know if I'll get a work out in today. That's another thing I need to figure out. I don't like working out in the middle of the day. It disrupts the flow of things. I suppose that means if I want to work out, I am going to have to get up early, which I loathe. Working out at night just doesn't happen. I'm too exhausted from the day. So early morning it is. I guess that means running again. I can't very well too noisy aerobics on our creaky floors while everyone else is sleeping. I prefer running anyway.

Hopefully next time I post I will have made some serious progress.
