Weekly Weigh-In

I didn't want to weigh-in due to the week I had - another week over my points allowances - but I did. We can dress casually at work for a few weeks so I was wearing jeans, which weigh more than my work slacks (what a granny word) to add to the anxiety. I was the exact same weight to the ounce as last week. At least it wasn't a gain.

I know I said a lot in the beginning that if I didn't lose satisfactorily that I would switch to calorie counting on my own, but, I know that WW is the plan for me. I like the flexibility and ease of the program. I just have to be better about tracking at the time, rather than tallying it up at the end of the day only to realize when it's too late that I went over. I want/need an iPhone so I can track anywhere, anytime!

I need to step-it up in the workout dept. too. I missed 3 workouts this week. Summer is a difficult time, but I can do better. I really would like to join a gym. I have always been a "class" girl at heart. I love group exercise classes! It really won't work with my work schedule at this time. I might have to re-prioritize that later. I'll give it a couple months.

Just Wondering

Gastrically speaking, is it the best idea to eat cauliflower and cabbage at the same meal? And two days in a row?

Happy Pioneer Day 2011

So, I weighed in last Thursday. It had been 2 weeks since my previous weigh-in. I had to skip a week due to a camping trip. I lost 2 pounds total. My current average weekly rate is 1.3 lbs. Still not loving the rate, but it is what it is. I am telling myself in this moment that it's pretty great to be losing in the summer.

I splurged a bit too much this weekend and am currently over my weekly points allowance. Stupid Mr. B's coffee at a cost of 15 points! Stupid! Followed up by 2 slices of Little Caesar's pizza for lunch. Stupid! Followed up by snacking and a dinner that cost me {GULP} 53 POINTS. Stupid! Activity points and eating under my daily allowance the rest of the week is now in order.

Week(end) of Independence Day

Friday and Saturday were not too bad. I went over a bit Friday night but I always reserve my flexies for the weekends. Saturday I was 11 points under for the day (14 when you count my fudge factor points). I skipped lunch that day. I think. I didn't track immediately and honestly can't remember. DOH! Sunday and Monday I killed it. And not in a good way. I still can't get over how far over my points I eat while still eating less than I would have prior. I added all of my shortages, overages and fudge factors for the week and had a net of ZERO. Man, I'm lucky.

Having said that, I'm not working according to my plan. Fudge factor is supposed to help me lose faster. Not save me from a gain! I have got to get the weekend splurges under control. Granted, this was a holiday weekend and last night was my work summer party at the Bees game. The 3 additional "special occasions" I had cost me plus I missed 2 workouts.

The verdict? I lost 0.8 this week. That is a gift. Totally. My weekly average has dropped to 1.4 ppw. So, I am going to continue with the 3 ppd fudge factor and NOT GO OVER MY POINTS.
