I had been doing so good, I thought. I had lost two pounds and was working out five days a week, etc. And then today I weigh myself and I gained a pound back. I'm really hoping it's just water/bloating and I'm going to drink more water today. And I'm going to have to start weighing myself every day, I think. I know they say that if you weigh yourself every day you can get discouraged because you don't see results that quickly, but if I don't weigh myself every day, it sneaks up on me. So I'm going to have to just force myself to weigh myself every morning.
I have been working out five days a week - 35-40 minutes at a pop on the elliptical - but I also got a resistance band on Friday and need to start doing that, too. Plus I can travel with that a lot more easily.
I made a "somewhat-healthy diner" breakfast this morning. Fried egg-whites, whole wheat toast, an apple and some fried lean ham. The kitchen smells like Denny's. That's nice.

I had a little moment the other day. I was watching youtube videos and somehow saw Brian Boitano (I love the south park movie-"What would Brian Boitano do?") and I thought about how when I was little I ice skated-started when I was 3 and continued for nearly 10 years - and I just wanted to cry at what my body has become. A few months ago, a friend, who is pretty big, said something about how us "big girls" have to stick together, and I was like, "but I'm not big. You're big. I'm an athlete!" and I realized just how much I have been fooling myself. My body is ginormous. I have to get real about that first, before anything is going to change. As long as I'm living in a fantasy world, I'm never going to be able to lose this weight.

I am weight_loss_101 on Twitter and I read your last comment. Be very careful, the calories you are eating may be too low for activities your are doing. Don't get discouraged about gaining a pound, it could be a number of things. (muscle gain, retaining water because of salt intake, etc) My advice would be to watch your salt, drink 8-10 glasses of water and find out how many calories you should be taking in. It is very important that you don't eat too much OR too little. I wish you the best.
