Progress being made


Here's a pic of me a week ago, down 13lbs. I had lost over 15lbs but I've been stuck for over a month. For almost 5 weeks, I've been going up and down around this mark. Even though I have a lot more to lose, I haven't snapped myself out of the fog that I've made a small accomplishment and I have a much longer journey to make. I have been diligent about going to the gym, yet on the left side of my back has been hurting badly. I stretch every day now because I'm nervous to strain it even more; I've already had a massage and she noted that my left side was much tighter than my right. It could have to do with being on a computer, more than ever! Either way, it's made a hiccup in my arm work out. In turn, I've increased the intensity of my cardio to counteract eating extra points and not being able to do much with my upper body.

This week I have really made strides in tracking. I have tracked everyday, however I still find myself going over my daily allowance. I can't seem to be satisfied. I drink A LOT of Crystal Geyser to avoid eating extra, but it's a failing battle so far. I'm going to stretch and attempt some ab and arm work, just to see how I feel in the morning.
