Welcome to my Personal Fitness Challenge Day 17

Welcome to my personal fitness challenge Day 17
Today was a diet "High" day meaning more carbs are allowed.  Well I knew today would be a challenge, lots of meetings today.  I started with a green smoothie.  I love oatmeal but I don't like it with the protein powder and blue berries.  I have to figure out a better breakfast on the high days.  I kind of like the green smoothie in the morning though.  at 10:30 am we had a birthday party for my boss.  There was strawberry short cake, cheese and crackers and various fruits.  Thank you Rose for bringing the fruit.  I had my almonds and some of the fruit including apple.  Then I headed off to my 1st of 3 more meetings.  I thought I had time for lunch but I didn't.  My mistake again I should have packed my lunch and didn't.  I had an apple and a few more almonds around 2 and finally dinner at 5:30 pm.  Funny I was hungry but not ravenous.  Dinner sure did taste good and hit the spot thought!  

I stayed the same on the scale today.  I thought it was going to be the day I would see a difference.  It is day 17 and I am down 9.3 lbs.  Sounds good right?  Well I was down 9.3 lbs on day 8 so now on day 17 I am getting a little frustrated.  I can't remember the last time I stuck to a diet plan without so much as a lick, bite or taste of anything off limits, particularly on such a restrictive plan as this one.  What is going on?  It would be ok if everyone else was having similar results but the other girls are already well into double digits.  I want this really bad.  What else can I do?  Well for sure I am committed to stick with it.  Body has to let go at some point...right?
