Discouraged again....

Yes, I am discouraged. I've been at 123.2 for almost a week - since Saturday. I could almost taste 122 lbs. Until today, that is. This morning I'm at 124.8. What???!! I upped my cardio! I've been good about eating and haven't gone over 1400 calories since I started tracking!! *sigh*

Sometimes it feels like a losing battle. I think it's my body's way of getting back at me for starting this 4 week challenge. Just because I committed to losing 8 lbs in 4 weeks (or doing my best to, at least) my body is refusing. Naughty body.

Last time I was discouraged was at the beginning of the month. Almost 4 weeks ago exactly. Maybe this is a pattern my body goes through. Maybe I gain every 4 weeks or so. I don't know. I'll pay attention next month and see if the same thing happens. But it's still frustrating. Grrrrrr.

I don't think it has anything to do with my cycle. I'm at CD 15 right now and haven't had a temperature rise yet, so I'm not even past O yet. Last time I was 12 days before AF. Right now I'm about 20 days before AF. So confused. I didn't track last cycle because it was right after the surgery and bound to be irregular. So I can't go back and see. But I can pay attention in the future.

Whew! Now that all of that is out of my system, I'm going down to the basement to finish the scrapbooking LO that I was working on this morning and I'm going to drink a bottle of water, then Ellie will probably be awake. If not I will tackle some cardio via aerobics or something. I can't do anything about today's weight, but I can be proactive and work for a better tomorrow.
