Down, but not out!

     In case you hadn't guessed yet, my weight has not gone down to where it was before Thanksgiving. I am so discouraged that it makes me want to give up, but I refuse! If indeed my weight is correct and not just water weight, then I must have miscalculated my calories on Thanksgiving. I planned everything out and I thought I did really well, but the scale says differently. So these are my weigh ins for the last few days:

24th-246.0
25th-243.8
26th-didn't weigh in
27th-246.6
28th-247.0
29th- 246.6
30th-246.2

     Even typing that makes me frustrated! I'm feeling so down about all of this, but I'm not going to give up! I am going to keep eating healthy and at some point my body will have to reflect the hard work...right? At least that's what I keep telling myself. Keep going. It'll be worth it, but honestly I feel like I could cry at any given point.
    I will basically be following the same plan as before, but I'm going to be mainly eating fruits, veggies, and deli meat. I am going to start tracking in myfitnesspal again today, and track my water to make sure I'm getting enough of that. I also lowered my sodium goals in myfitnesspal to 2,000 instead of 2,300 and I lowered my calories from 1,450 to 1,300 to see if that will help. I will make sure not to be over on my sodium because there is still a chance that this can still be water weight because on Thanksgiving I was under my calorie allotment by 165 and in order to just maintain weight you have to be eating 2,000 calories! I was at 1,285 on Thanksgiving...something isn't adding up! But I'm going to just take it one day at a time. Instead of looking at how many more pounds I need to lose by October, I'm just going to focus on 5lbs at a time!

Until Tomorrow,

Summer
