Frustration sets in

Don't remember if I told you about signing up for a DietBet.  I really like this as it holds me accountable.  I am weighing in everyday to see how what I eat affects my weight.  I have not been eating the way I should, but because the volume went down, I was still losing weight.

Not anymore.

In the last several days I have gained 4-5 pounds.  The volume has not increased, the fattening foods have not increased.  It must be the salt.  I now have 8 days to lose 7.2 pounds or I lose this DietBet.

I am cutting out the salt, and drinking MORE water.  I have been averaging 60 ounces per day.  I am going to hit the goal that Chris Powell puts out there of 1 ounce of water for every 2 pounds of weight you are carrying.  Today that puts me at 108.5 ounces of water.  Hope I don't float away!

Rather than beat myself up, I will congratulate myself on only one coke in the last three weeks.  How do you eat an elephant?  One bite at a time.  How do you complete a marathon?  One step at a time.

I will complete this marathon ... one step at a time.
