The update: 0 lbs lost and 0 lbs gained still 245.
The blog: In attempts past, this would have been very devastating to me. NO LOSS?? What? Meh, Sometimes you are going to lose and sometimes you are going to gain, and sometimes you are going to hold your own.
I have been doing a lot of losing over the first 5 weeks or so, and as I have said before that is not likely to always be the case. This week is just the first of many that will feel like I am not succeeding. HOWEVER, I know what happened that I didn't lose, I knew it when it was happening, and I was just hoping I wouldn't gain. I went out to dinner on Friday, had dessert, a drink, and a big breakfast on Saturday morning. I CHOSE not to track those weight watcher points. I needed a break from all the worry of what I was putting in my mouth. Sometimes you just need to enjoy yourself.
I refuse this time to let a minor "set back" or outright choice I made to be my demise. So when I checked the scale on Monday to see where I was at and was up a pound, I re-focused, and pushed ahead. By Wednesday (my weigh in day) I was back to the same as last week. I intend to be down a little next week. That is how this has to go. There are no true set backs, there are only bumps in the road. I will not let a bump deter me from my goal.
Thanks for reading!
Go Becky! Absolutely the right attitude!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I still try to track, even when I don't make the best choices. Mthat way, I own the choices I made. When I had my first gain, it just made me motivated to make better choices that next week.
ReplyDeleteTina - I just tried to make sure I had "enough" points remaining for what I thought I would have. I know I went over, the tiramisu martini probably wasn't the best choice but it was tasty! I just didn't want to have to try and dissect my meals on my "fun" weekend. I will do better this week. I don't have another "fun" weekend planned until sometime in June, one might pop up before then, but I will deal with it when and if it happens :)
