Today is weigh-in day again and there is no change. No gains, no losses. To say that I am discouraged and disappointed is an understatement. Seven days of dieting and not cheating and I get nothing. In my defense it is that foul time of the month, but I don't know if it has a bearing or not. My clothes are fitting more loose and that may be due to the exercise -- thirty minutes every day without fail on the treadmill (hey I'm up to a mile and half now) and 200 sit ups on the ab lounger. I've fallen into a pretty good routine of oatmeal for breakfast, a slim fast shake for lunch and a either a lean cuisine, grilled chicken or fish for dinner. So how come no weight loss? Maybe next week I'll see some great improvement. I'm trying to stay focused and optimistic. My resolve to stick it out is pretty high right now, but next week could be another story entirely.
Changing the subject -- Yesterday we loaded up one of our cows (Ole Red) for the slaughter house. I know, I know, how could we! I can hear the vegetarians cringing. I'm right along with you. I have to admit it -- I cried. My husband thinks I'm crazy. Last night I told him that poor old cow trusted you every time you came into the pasture to provide his food and water. The other cows blocked the truck when they got ready to leave. It was a horrible sight. Okay, even I have to say it -- my hormones are running amuck, I'm crying over a cow for goodness sake! Pass the Midol!

Bless your heart... I would probably cry over the cow too. Isn't it funny how we can eat hamburger and steak and think nothing of it, until it becomes a personal issue... our own cow? (we don't own cows, but I think it would be hard for me too) I would dare say that your hormones are playing a big part in it. And the weight loss issue, too. If you are doing all that exercise and eating right, you just wait until next week's weight in... you will be very pleased, I'm sure! Hang in there!
