Gulp! I just put in my weight in and it said that I have gained 6.5 lbs in the last 3 months. Now down to only a 13 lb weight loss. This is not good. I told my husband I kept my weight loss off and only gained a couple of pounds. 6.5 is more than a couple. I guess I was fooling myself. I am determined to make this challenge at the gym work. I want to lose 30 lbs in 12 weeks, That is the goal at least. I am planning on putting more time in at the gym including longer workout sessions and more days. I am using heavier weights and lifting them slower. I am using more resistance on the elliptical and a higher height level on the treadmill. I have a new heart rate monitor and am making sure I get my HR up there and keep it up there. If I don't feel like moving fast, I crank up the resistance. I am trying to exercise hard enough that I am sore. I know my trainer will work me hard, too.

So far so good this week on following my eating plan. I found out that lamb isn't so healthy, so now I know. I am going to try to add more fish into my meal plans. That is hard for me, because I am not really a fish lover, but I can do it. I want to go back to my elimination of alcohol from my diet as much as possible and staying away from any fried foods at all. I was allowing myself to have tater tots on Friday nights, but I will have a side salad instead.

Whew. A lot of changes!!!!! I will work them in slowly, one by one. If I misstep, I will not beat myself up. I will just keep on trying. Never, never, never give up.
