OK, no more wine for me. This week I lost 1 lb. and am now 2 lbs off of goal. However, I am down 17 lbs since the cruise.

I wonder if the coffee is having an effect. I am doing decaf and using splenda, but wonder does coffee make you retain water? I have cut down my intake of diet sodas and the sodas that I do allow myself to have are low sodium. I have to be careful though, when I drink the water. I am an hour away from the house! :eek:

I will say that with the increased exercise however, I can already tell a difference in how I feel and also in how my clothes are fitting, so maybe this is just a temporary stall. I guess that feeling and looking better is really the goal, isn't it? So, I pulled out a measuring tape to measure inches now, and am going to chart that progress as well.

This week, I am going to try to just stick with water and drink plenty of it. Also, I am going try to cut my portions down by 1/3 and see if that helps. I also think I better journal everything that I put in my mouth. I wonder how many times I will have to write the word FOOT, this week! LOL

How is everybody else doing?
