fiber on the brain

So I had a great night at Jason's yesterday. We played games, laughed, joked...it's interesting being the only girl in a group of guys. I had a blast and I'm really glad I went. Also, I'm proud of myself because I brought my own food and snacks, and ate healthily while I was there. I don't know if I went over/under my goals (haven't tracked them yet), but I do know I made a great choice by being prepared. So I'm proud of myself.

Well, for the past couple of days I'm been feeling "meh" because my weight has been hovering around or a little bit over 239 (which is what I got to when I lost 7lbs). It was really discouraging for me to see it not move down, especially since I've been making the same type of effort that I did the week before. When I examine what I've eaten though, I am discovering that I have been eating my "max" amount of fats, and the carbs that have been eating have been the less complex carbs (ie sugary stuff). So, I will stay weigh in tomorrow (dun dun dun), but next week I'm going to focus on eating a lot of fruits and veggies, and eating more whole fiber and complex carbs. I also want to focus on not eating a lot of processed foods and sugar. Oh, and make sure I eat a salad for a meal every day. That's one thing that I didn't do this week and it makes a definite difference.

I do want to say that I've been constipated (sorry guys), and feeling kinda full and heavy, and FINALLY today I pooed, and guess what? My weight went back down. So that's another indicator that I need to be better with my fiber consumption :D
