down day

Everything I know tells me that there will be slow weeks especially as muscle begins building but sometimes that doesn't get through in reverse and so I feel that I have had a bad week. Whew what a run on. I know I ate pretty well and I know that I clocked 8.5 hours of exercise so why do I feel like I did a bad job and didn't lose more than a pound? I am soo impatient. If you are there just remind yourself like I am that there are still 9 more weeks and at the end of 14 weeks any improvement is better than getting 3 months down the road and saying man if I had only started in Feb. like I wanted to I would not have wasted another 3 months doing nothing. So that is my self pep talk for the day.
