Shut up.

Today is hard. Mentally. I stick to my workouts and diet - not a single bite/nibble/taste of something not on my meal plan. I was good. Angelic, even. I killed all my workouts and didn't skip cardio. I drank 1.5 gallons of water as I was told to do (today, I already polished off a gallon before noon). But I took a look at the mirror this morning and I wasn't happy. My lower abdomen looks puffy, making my waist look bigger. As if I did worse than last week. I was supposed to get my period this week but missed it (although, irregular periods are normal for me). Also, for reasons unknown to me I didn't sleep well this week. But I felt good during my workouts.

All these questions run through my mind: Was it my Sunday cheat meal? Was it my change in menstrual cycle? Was it the weather? Was it lack of sleep? Was it because I've been chewing sugar free gum and just saw it has a small amount of carbs (that add up)?
With all that said, my thoughts need to shut up for a moment.
