Discouragement

I am getting discouraged. I have been very careful about what I eat, making sure I do not go over 1300 calories daily. I've been going for a walk most days, and burning at least 950 calories per week. I was down to 127 last week. Then I weighed myself and I was at 128.4 for two days. Now this morning I'm at 129. What???! I didn't exercise over the weekend, but at most that should slow down my weight loss, not make me gain! I know this is probably just normal weight fluctuation, but it is discouraging.

I figure one of four things needs to happen:

1. I need to follow the food pyramid to make sure I'm getting a balanced diet.

2. I need to exercise more, and not just taking Ellie for stroller walks. I need to do aerobics, walk on the treadmill, hike, etc.

3. I need to limit my salt intake. Maybe that's causing me to retain water.

4. I need to make sure I get enough fiber in my diet so that I stay fuller longer and stay regular better.

Now... which to implement immediately.
