Frustration!!!

I know I haven't posted in a while, so here is the latest.

I have lost about 6 pounds since I started my diet in January, which sounds good, but I have hit a wall.

I'm just in a funk and getting frustrated with my weight. I was super good on Friday and Saturday. I worked out twice on Friday, walking for a/2 hour at lunch and then about 45minutes with my daughter after work. Saturday my daughter and I ran for about 45 minutes at the reservoir. So I was expecting to be close to 130 on Sunday morning, but was still between 131 and 132. Sunday morning I was going to log in my calories and the internet was down, well this set me off. I ate more for breakfast than I should have, but I tried to make up for it at lunch by eating a chicken breast over lettuce. When the internet was finally up I forgot to log in my calories and worked on other things. The about 5pm (which is early for me) I decided to have a glass of wine, which lead to 3 and very poor eating for the rest of the day. At least i did walk dogs at the animal shelter earlier in the day for about an hour. Yesterday I was the same 131/132. I eat very good during the day, my daughter and I played tennis after work and then had a OK dinner. Daughter wanted pasta, so I had pasta with cheese and veggie. But then at 7pm I was bored (probably because this is the time I usually work out) and after adding it all up ate about 600 cals between 7 and 8:30, OUCH! So I was 132 this morning.

Now that I have beat myself up over my eating I have to be positive and look at all the good habits I have formed in the last 2 month.
1. I eat Fruit everyday
2. I eat veggies everyday.
3. I drink 8 glasses of water a day
4. I work out at least 5 days a week

Here are my bad habits I still have:
1. Drinking wine during the week
2. Eating too much after 8pm
3. Eating too much cheese (I love cheese)
4. Not logging in food after I get home from work (sometimes I log my dinner before I eat it, so that's a plus)
5. Not eating at the dinner table (everyone is home at different times, but that shouldn't be an excuse)

Thanks for listening, I just needed to get that off my chest. Today will be a better day. I already know what I will have for dinner and have logged it and that leaves me 300 calories for my evening snack. I have been craving cheese lately so I'm gonna buy some 100 pack chezits. Not the most healthy, but better than cheese toast and eating slices of provolone cheese ;)

Beginnings

I'm trying something different this year to help with my weight loss goals. I have promised myself special treats along the way, none of which are food. Hopefully this will help me.
