A tail spin

It has been about 2 months since I have lost even an ounce of weight. Before you pass judgment that I have not been true to my diet or exercise, nothing could be further from the truth. I have been doing three a week strength training sessions with my trainer. I have been meticulously careful with my eating and drinking water as well as doing cardio 4-5 times a week. This was my last week to do three a week sessions with my trainer. My goal was to have lost 5 pounds by this coming Sunday.
Stepped on the scales Monday and realized it's not going to happen.
The BD and I are on the same wave length.
She knew when she saw me Monday that my discouragement on not reaching my goal was on my mind. She had thought about it. She had planned what she was going to tell me.
She referred me to a book that she felt might give me some pointers about my diet. I am working my way through it now.
Basically it is all about eating naturally; no processed foods at all.
No sugar.
No white flour.

No processed carbs, like pasta and bread, especially after lunch

Replace carbs between lunch and dinner with green veggies

No soda, tea or coffee. Replace these with plenty of water and vegetable juice.
We talked about this while she worked me out.
I listened.
Later on during the day as I was driving around town, I kept thinking about that darn scale. I kept thinking about how very hard I have worked and I have had no success.
I took a nose dive right into a huge tail spin.
I was passing this little Mexican bakery and before I knew it I had pulled in and was buying some really yummy, crusty bread. You know the kind that is all fresh and soft inside.
All week I have just thrown caution to the wind as far as my diet goes.
On top of that, I had some kind of virus Tuesday and suffered from body aches and intestine problems.
And, let's not forget my hormones have been completely out of whack!
It stinks going through menopause!
It has taken me all week to wrap my head around the fact that if I am going to lose these last 10 pounds, I am going to have to change my diet.
At least for two or three weeks, then I can start re introducing some things back into my diet.
I am not a proponent of being on really, really restrictive diets.
They don't work.
You have to be able to live with your diet.
I realize that I have been eating emotionally this week.
Somehow, the very thought of restricting certain foods made me want to eat them.
Well, after a week of thinking about it, praying about, I think I have just about wrapped my head around what I need to do.
I'm prepared.
Monday.
A new start.
The Bull Dog says so!
