It's All Part of the Journey

Somewhere in three weeks I lost a little bit of drive which has left me up one pound from three weeks ago. However, I don't honestly fear that it is a real pound since I haven't had more than three glasses of water in three weeks.  (eek)  There is something good in this three weeks that has happened.  In the midst of three really bad weeks, I never forgot that these bad weeks were just days within a much longer journey.  This kept me occasionally working out and sometimes making good food choices.  Now, I am back on track. 

However, I think the track is a little different.  I told myself in the past that core was a great program, and that I could eat like this forever because it's all about eating healthy meals until satisfied.  What could possibly be wrong with the previous statement?  It is, the one word, meals.  I think I came to a stand still on this journey because I finally got sick of cooking.

Occasionally, I need to be able to open a can of soup or a microwave meal and call it a meal.  I still plan on cooking healthy meals as much as possible, but I am not going to restrict myself from some what healthy choices like soup and low calories microwave meals which are convenient and make it easier to stay on track when my life is so busy.
