I knew the Hummingbird Cake would catch up with me. I am up almost 2 pounds from yesterday. My body is going to have to do some adjusting as I get back into my routine.

April Weight Loss Journal with Commentary (down 19 pounds total)
I made an amazingly delicious Hummingbird Cake to give my California friends and family a taste of the south. Thankfully my mother encouraged me to make only a half a batch of frosting. The cake was delicious and tempting. The first two days I only had a small piece each day. But on the third day I had three pieces (lack of accountability). It did affect the scale, but I tried to counter it in other ways. Overall, I gained only a bit of weight — but I could have lost if I hadn’t made that wonderful cake. No regrets. Enjoying the journey is part of the prize.

It is impossible to gain or lose 2 pounds in a day. It seems discouraging that in one week I have not lost or gained. Here is the beauty that I have to consider: I have that weigh in of 169.8 — which is where I am headed. This diet is not about instant results: it is about enjoying what you eat and losing weight in the process.
