Frustrated...

I have been on this life change now for almost 3 weeks and I have cut out sugars, soda, carbs and have been watching my calorie intake. In this time, I still have only lost 9 pounds! Right now Colleen is having a field day in my head... "oh, just give up... have pasta and a Mountain Dew... you tried for 3 weeks... by now you should have lost at least 30 pounds (lol)..." But NO, get out of my head you, fat beast, you! I need to realize that it takes time to lose the weight and not every week will be 4 pounds.... Also, I don't know if this is too much TMI but I will be getting my other unwanted friend this week... she only comes one a month, Peppermint Patty (get it, red hair...) That could also be a reason I have not lost any more weight, I may be retaining some water weight. Also, my friend from work asked me if I was watching my sodium intake? "What, first you take my sugar than my carbs and now you want me to watch my salt intake... come on here... this is getting ridiculous!!!" Excuse me, Colleen, this is my blog... not yours! Sorry for her interruption, anyway, I realized I wasn't watching my salt intake so now I need to make sure to cut back on that as well. This is all so new to me... I am learning new ideas and tips every day! My next adventure is to start my training for the marathon. I am ready!!!! Colleen, you can sleep in that day...
