Staying focused, while feeling like a yo-yo.

I'm sure it's not just me that feels like a yo-yo when dieting. Although the past week has been positive, my weight has fluctuated. I have a ritual of weighing my self daily in the morning, post BM of course. In order to track my weight I set up an easy google docs spreadsheet. You can download the template here.

  The most trouble I'm having right now on the slow carb diet is sticking to not eating ANY CARBS. It's amazing seeing what I'm used to eating, and now seeing what's going into my body. Biggest downfalls right now are small snacks like chocolate, alcohol, and candied pecans. I've been doing great on drinking the gallon of water goal that I set for myself last week. I'm thinking about posting pictures when I post blog updates to show my progression. It's often hard to notice your own weight loss unless you have a starting point.

Results: For the week, I'm down a little over 3 lbs. which is an accomplishment. At least I'm not gaining weight, however I did go up about a pound after drinking a little too much. Ooops! If you're worried about gaining, think about keeping a weight loss journal. A free website which offers online calorie counting and the like is my fitness pal.
