Day 8, WEEK 1 TOTAL - Frustrated

Above is my week average of calories burned vs eaten. Should be good but... not so much.

One week into my 30 day challenge and I don't have amazing numbers to report. I am frustrated. I started out at 193lbs and then by weighing in throughout the week I was buzzing along, going down to a 191lbs, right on schedule. And then this morning's weight in, 194. What the hell? I had a 500 Cal deficit and I exercised a lot.

I need to re-tool how I am eating. I was experimenting thinking that just as long as I eat under my 1950 I should be good. I don't think this is the case with my body. I am thinking about seeing a nutritionalist. I also need to cut down my drinks. My social group basically always meets at bars, lounges, house parties. I love this lifestyle and won't stop it, but I can control how I drink. I have tried to go out and just drink non-alcoholic drinks and my friends are super cool with it. I don't need to drink just because everyone else is drinking. repeat! I don't need to drink just because everyone else is drinking.

For the next week I am going to eat much less, what I used to eat, and really watch it. I can't just give up even though I am frustrated. The minute I even think about giving up and not being conscious of my eating is when I can easily gain 10lbs.
