August has not been kind to me in the weight loss department. I was down 87lbs on July 16th. (I lost 8 lbs in one week because I had a wisdom tooth removed and a root canal in the same week. Needless to say, all I was eating was Italian ice and ice cream haha). Anyway, since then I have gained back about 4 1/2 lbs. I know this is because I am actually eating solid foods now, but I am also finding myself cheating a bit. I do exercise 5 days a week and try to make healthy choices, but I feel like I am slipping a bit! I think I have summer fatigue. :)

It also doesn't help that my mother went to the Entenmann's outlet yesterday and brought home 3 boxes of baked deliciousness. Luckily I am just visiting.

Today I am going to try really hard to stick to the MFP plan and not give in to the temptation ! Though I am going out tonight, so there will be a few light beers worked into my calorie scheme :D

    Just try your hardest to make smart choices! August hasn't been great for me either. I think it's just "one of those months" =] Best of luck. I hope you get back on track =]

    87 lbs thats awesome! That gives me hope that I can drop the 65 more I want to lose. Hang in there and try to get up everyday with a new determination to succeed! You have done an amazing job already! I have no doubt that you will continue to do great!
