Oh the shame...
Last week I was so proud of myself. I ate well, I went to the gym three times in a week, drunk all of my water, and lost 3 lbs (I know it's not 25, but the scale has been on a steady increase since I moved). Well this week I thought I was doing the same thing but I gained weight (2.4lbs). My week is not over yet, but I…

Carbs and carbs and carbs, oh, my!
So I've been doing great and have hit a plateau of sorts (if a week without losing is a plateau?) but I'm fine with that since I'm still losing inches and clothes are getting looser and looser.
