Frustrated

I weighed myself this morning and I was back to what I was last week - so I gained 1.2 pounds. What the heck? So screw the new adjustments of eating more at meals/snacks and eating more grains, etc. I went back to what I was doing last week. But tomorrow I'm going to start the diet plan from my detox book. I've been incorporating some of her tips, etc., but she gives you a 3 week meal by meal plan, so I'm going to start following that completely. I didn't have time to go to the store today, or else I would have started right away. At this point, I don't even care what I have to do. I'll give up whatever foods I need to, I'll eat whatever....I just want something that works! Argh!

I went running this morning - 3.8 miles.

Breakfast: Oatmeal and an orange. Lunch: Sweet potato and green beans. Dinner: Tuna with mustard, tomatoes, and baby carrots. Snacks: Carrots and guacamole, peanut butter, and goat cheese.
I also decided to give myself a "treat" today. I'd been planning to probably let myself have a little splurge this week as long as I did well on Thanksgiving, and I figured I'd better do it today since I'm switching to the new diet tomorrow. So I had a pack of M&Ms, which of course was still within my calorie limit. It was pretty good (it's been so long since I've had chocolate!), but at the same time, I didn't feel like it affected me emotionally or mentally the way it used to, which is a good thing. The detox diet does let you have a piece of dark chocolate every day, so that's pretty awesome!

It's just so unfair to be this dedicated and stick to something this well, and still not get results! I know in the past I would have given up long ago if I'd gone this long without really seeing a lot of weight loss, so I'm really glad that I'm not willing to give up yet. But I just really need to figure out what I'm doing wrong! Crossing my fingers that the new diet will work!
