So FRUSTRATED

Even though I dropped to 176.5 for a few days this month, otherwise, I've been stuck at 178 ALL MONTH LONG. I've got to figure out what's going on with me! I feel like I'm eating right, but I need to get focused again. There was a time when I was losing steadily, and this whole stall thing is really starting to irritate me!

So, things I'm going to try to do:

1. Cut back on caffeine and drink more water.
2. Cut back on cheese. I know it's adding calories and fat that I don't need, and it's supposed to stay between 3 and 4 oz. a day, including cream cheese.
3. Monitor what I'm eating on Fit Day to check calories, fat and carbohydrates, plus keep track of things that need to be limited, like CHEESE.
4. Add in more low-intensity cardio — either walking on the treadmill or hiking/walking outside.
5. Keep sticking to the plan!

I guess one good thing is that my frustration is making me want to adhere to the plan even better rather than drop it altogether and go back to the way I had been eating. It's just hard to see no change on the scale (except upward!) AND no change in my measurements for weeks now.

OK, so here's my meal plan for the day.

BREAKFAST:
1/6 Sausage Quiche — 2 grams carbs (1.3 oz. cheese)

LUNCH:
1/6 Green Enchilada Chicken Casserole — 3.6 carbs (2.3 oz. cheese)

DINNER:
Houston Chicken — 3 carbs (0.5 oz. cheese)
1/2 cup green beans — 3.9 carbs

Total: 12.5 grams carbs (9.7 net carbs)
4.1 oz. cheese
