The no sugar diet follow-up

Okay, so I know this is a little late. What can I say? I'm just not super good at blogging these days. But to get to the point? How much did I lose is I'm sure the question you're asking (or not, you may not care). Drum roll please: 2.5 pounds. Not exactly what I was going for here. Granted, I did go out to eat twice, but besides that, I honestly did not cheat.  I could have lost that much weight on my own without going crazy on the no sugar thing (I've done it before).  I don't know that I would've lost the 9 pounds that the plan claims you can lose but I probably would've lost another pound or so if I hadn't eaten out. 
I was very surprised by doing this diet at how much sugar is in most foods.  It definitely has made me more aware of that fact & I've been trying to be more conscious of what I buy because of that.  I won't be making the life style change that the book suggests (cutting out nearly all sugar) but I'm definitely trying to be better about what I eat & especially how much sugar I let my kids have.
Honestly, though, this sadly ended up being kind of pointless in the end.  The day after I ended the diet was Easter so there was lots of candy & good food to be had.  The week after that was a super, super busy one so I wasn't watching what I was eating as much as I should've been nor did I make the time to work out very much.  Last week wasn't much better so I have to admit that I gained back the 2.5 lbs that I lost during that week.  Boo.  For whatever reason I don't have much motivation right now to be healthy or work out which is no good.  I know I need to change that because having this kind of attitude is what got me to what I weighed when I got pregnant with Steven.  I don't want that!  What do you do to motivate yourself when you've gotten into a little slump??
