8 oz of crystal light | You are drinking Crystal Light. The stuff is sweetened with aspartame, which can slow down or stall your weight loss. Add this to the processed meat, lack of vegetables and only 40 oz of water, and you can see that your weight loss will be affected.
Are you tracking your foods in something like FitDay? Do you know how many carbs you are consuming and from what sources, how many calories, how much sodium, fat, protein, etc.? You should be getting over half + 5 net carbs of your total net carbs from vegetables. For example, if during OWL Rung 1 you have a total of 18 net carbs, then 14 of these should come from vegetables.
Also, did you check the salami and pepperoni for added sugars (e.g. dextrose) and for ingredients derived from soy or wheat?

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
