Marina - Weekly cumulative

I'm up .4 lbs from last week. I know you're not supposed to weigh yourself every day, but this is one of the reasons that I do. I'm feeling pretty discouraged that I'm up from last week, but I'd feel even worse if I hadn't been stepping on the scale every morning, because then I would have missed the fact that I reached new lows twice this past week. However, being up still sucks! I'm 1.5 lbs heavier than I was 3 days ago. :( As of today, I have 4.9 lbs to go to reach my goal.

Breakfast: Fresh vegetable juice. Eggs and bacon
Mid-morning: Jasmine green tea
Snack: Apple sprinkled with cinnamon
Lunch: Scrambled eggs with kimchi
Snack: Dry roasted peanuts
Dinner: Salad with chicken
Snack: Almonds

1 hour 26 minutes total exercise today. 46 minutes on the treadmill at 3 incline, using light dumbbells. 40 minutes MAX Workouts-Weights. Every time I do one of these MAX Workouts, be it weights or cardio intervals, I always start out thinking it's so much easier than it was the last time. However, by the time I'm done, I'm still drenched in sweat and red in the face! Some of these exercises, especially the plank to reach under & twist, are giving me rough elbows. I'll have to make sure to give them extra moisturizer. They're hard, but I can feel they're effective.

Everything is so frustrating lately! I'm working so hard but don't seem to be making much progress. I'm actually talking about work here, but this applies to my fitness goals, also. I have failed to master the art of mind-reading, and that would go a long way in making things go a little more smoothly.
