I hit a brick wall!

? ? Ok, maybe not literally, but I feel that way.

? ? For some odd reason I was doing GREAT the first few weeks on Weight Watchers. I was losing pounds? and inches then it suddenly STOPPED! I’m doing everything I’m suppose to on the plan… writing things down… counting points… drinking water… exercising… but… I’m not losing! Talk about FRUSTRATING!

? ? I? GAINED .08 ounces one week, then lost .04 ounces the next week and I was the same weight (to the ounce) last week as well. I wish I knew what was going on.

? ? I know I didn’t gain all this weight overnight and it would be? foolish of me to think that I could lose it overnight too. I have? come to accept those FACTS of life.? However it would certainly be encouraging and a boost to my? moral to see the numbers working in my favor. I don’t expet to lose 2 pounds a week (that would be ideal!), but even a pound a week would be better then mere ounces.

? ? I don’t know what to do. I? would hate myself if I gave up, but in the mean time I’m beyond frustrated.

? ? Too bad there wasn’t a “magic pill” out. Something that you can take and BOOM… the next morning you would be 100 pounds lighter. Oh! Imagine that.

? ? I do admit I don’t exercise as much as I used to. I even bought more equipment that is gathering dust in the corner of the living room. I do use my excercise bike, but that is about it. I haven’t touched my wobble board, pilates machine, the? ExerFlex gadget or my lateral thigh stepper in a couple fo weeks. How bad is that!

? ? I’m hoping when the weather gets better I can start walking again. Maybe that is what I need to give my weight loss a boost. Walking is one of the best exercises out there. Plus the fresh air would certainly do me good as well.

? ? I did try walking a couple of weeks ago by the golf course (which is closed) but for? some reason I freaked out. There was no one around since the course was closed for the witer and it’s near the woods and bears have been seen on the course before. I know they hibernate in the winter but all of a sudden I got super nervous about? the whole situation and turned back in a hurry. Needless to say I won’t be walking by the golf course anytime soon. Not until the golfers return.

? ? Well I have to grab my? third 17 ounce bottle? of water so far today and head on out to get my kids from the bus.

? ? HOPEFULLY tomorrow will be a better day.
