I am so frustrated today and I have let it get the best of me.  Today was the 1 month weigh in for my facebook group ” 2013 Biggest Loser – PKU style” and today I weighed in 180.2 . thats only down 2.4 pounds since I started. I have been working out so hard , 3 to 4 times a week. I have increased my water in take , almost doubles it actually. I am way more active and I have not let my pain stop me, even when I dont want to go I have been going.  I go to Yoga, aqua fit, to the gym and for long walks. I have been eating better and everything. My calories are lower.  My group weighs in once a month but myself and my girl friends who work out with me weigh in weekly and last week I weighed in at 178.8 . I would have been much happier with that. I have no idea why I went back up and Im so mad! it was so discouraging. I could not focus at aqua fit today and had a terrible stomach so I only stayed for half the class.  Then I went out with the girls for sushi. I had a high day on monday, a high day yesterday and now today. I did a blood test today to so it wont be very good. Feeling so discouraged. 

But I have taken my anger and made a new plan for February and I am determine to double my results. Here is a copy of my schedule I have made for myself, Sherry and my PKU friend Amanda J.  I have posted it all through out my house, I have it on both mirrors in the bathrooms and my mirror on my dresser , the fridge , my calander in my office and inside the cover of my note book! 

I wrote in Gel pen after I printed them that Saturdays are Blood work days and Sundays are rest days but it did not show up in the scanner. 

I am still tracking everything and only missed one day in january. I forgot to write down my dinner a few days ago and cant remember what I had.  Sherry and Amanda J are using my fitness pal for tracking . I use to but I prefer my note book , however I might traill it again for the work outs . Its just a pain in the ass for me 2 be recording in 2 places or having to add my special foods into the data base.  But for them I may try it. I do have an account still. My user name is Shutterbug86. ( if your on my fitness pal feel free to add me!) 

Well Thats all for now . Cole just got home so I am going to start dinner. I am making myself a steamed artichoke tonight :) 

Take care,
