It's that time again...

I so did not expect good things from my weigh in tonight, so I was quite pleasantly surprised that I had lost .4 lbs. I really misbehaved all week. I've gotten complacent, and I've gotten childish. I've got to get out of that. I need to remember that the only thing keeping this weight on me is ME. I can lose it. I just have to DO it. And it's not like that ice cream/ cheeseburger/ whatever really even TASTES all that great once I get it; I usually end up thinking, "I wasted all those points for this?" That's what I need to remember on the front end: it's not going to be worth it.

On another note, I finally took the plunge this weekend and joined the 21st century...I got an iPhone. We had been contemplating getting off FIL's business plan anyway, even though we were getting a discount, because Michael needs the internet at work, and also, since we were not authorized on the account if anything happened to a phone we had to go through FIL, and it was getting to the point that that was not an acceptable risk...Michael can't afford to be incommunicado in Alabama or Kentucky when the authorized person is in SC. So it just made sense to change. I love it!

Back on track

So, I weighed in tonight, and I was back down .6 lbs! I realize it doesn't completely recoup my gain from last week, but at least we're heading in the right direction again.

This was a very hard week for me. I wasn't having specific cravings, but I just didn't feel like being good. I found myself earlier in the week slipping into quite the dangerous mindset...the "I'm on Weight Watchers, so this/that/the other thing is off limits." Knowing full well that depriving myself is the #1 way to fail. And what ended up happening? I started wanting this/that/the other thing, and not caring how many points it was! I think I've kicked that attitude now, and I feel much better about tracking and eating right.

Today was a fun day. Nojo was home sick so I was home with him. He has a sinus, ear, and eye infection. He's doing alot better now that he has meds :)

Weekly Weigh-in Time 2.0

Well, I gained this week. I knew I would. First, I had a couple situations where I really had no choice in what I ate; I had to eat what was there or nothing at all. Also, time was short this week, so alot of my eating had to be done on the run. So I gained back 1.6 lbs.

The main lesson learned this week is that I can never, ever let up. If I relax even for a minute, I'm screwed. So this week, I don't relax. I stay on plan, and I forget those extra 49 weekly points exist.

I did log what we call in WW meetings a non-scale victory--instead of sulking and buying a package of chocolate chip cookies and eating the whole thing, I went home and walked 3 miles!
