not posting so well

I am ho-hum on this diet. The food is good but the weight is not "melting" off. I'm not looking for the quick fix (of course I am), but I realize that it takes time to get the weight off. It's just frustrating to watch it be so s-l-o-w!

So, week 1 weigh-in, I lost 4 pounds!!
Week 2 weigh-in, I gained 1 pound (what??)
Week 3 weigh-in, I'm back to where I started (seriously, I didn't eat that much over the weekend).
Week 4 weigh-in, I'm back to the weight lost! I'm down 4 pounds. It's better than nothing.

I've been working on exercise. It's the toughest part for me. My little 2 kids and I went on a 3 mile walk last Monday (the 19th) and then again on Saturday (the 24th). I'm now nursing a major sinus infection that isn't too troubling, but my breathing is very labored. I'm a little nervous to get out there and walk again.

I just borrowed "the biggest loser" for the Wii. I'll have to plug that in tomorrow and give it a try.

I'm working on eating on my own. Today I tried to be good, but I need to journal my food:

Breakfast:
lowfat vanilla yogurt with a teaspoon of honey
coffee with 1 tablespoon of creamer and vanilla flavoring

Snack:
1 slice (1/8) of large de-lite pizza


Lunch:
4 slices canadian bacon
2 slices lowfat swiss cheese
1 cup raw carrots
24 ounces of water


Snack:
lowfat blueberry yogurt
16 ounces nonfat, no whip mocha
1 slice (1/8) of large de-lite pizza


Dinner:
3 corn tortillas with
chopped steak
avocado with jalepeno
chopped onion and cilantro


coffee with creamer and vanilla (I have 4 of these each day. I love my hot coffee).
