Induction day 46…

Well we have everything painted except for our bedroom and we will do that sometime this week. I am still pretty worn out from those days of work. I also gained back 5 pounds although I am not sure how that is possible. I am hoping that all the exercise and hard work caused me to retain water and I am going to see a big weight loss during this next week. I definitely let a few foods get away from me. I ate way too much cream cheese last week.
I am now really trying to limit my intake of cream, cheese and sweeteners. I am also upping my veggies a little so that I can try and get a little more veggie carbs during the day. Its all a big experiment people. I gotta know if I am semi-stalled because I am not getting enough of my carbs from veggies. I have lost a couple more inches on my waist, chest and arms though so I know that technically I am not stalled at all. I sure do get frustrated with the scale and want it to move faster though!

I completely hear you about the no-lbs-still-inches problem. it’s the shrinking that matters, I KNOW that, I UNDERSTAND that, and I tell others with the same problem that they’re being silly, but my slowly-moving scale frustrates me to no end!
you’re doing so great though. high fives to you.
