Well I did it. I hit my 30 mark...31.2 to be exact! YAY. unfortunately that all went out the window when i ate...and ate...and ate. oops. ok so confession. weekends are tough for me. I want a break from all the discipline so i relax, stop tracking, and eat. I like to save the majority of my weekly points for the weekend because #1. its the weekend, and #2. Its the first two days after my meeting and that gives me the following 5 days to get it together again. Now, I try to really not overdue it, but for those of you who are experienced at all....every now and again a tune up is in order. So last weekend I knew I had over did it, I did not know by how much but I figured I needed to start tracking over the weekend...which ironically enough was the topic of conversation in this week's weight watcher meeting. So, I did pretty good Saturday with my latte for breakfast, chipotle burrito bowl salad for lunch, and oklahoma joe's for dinner (did i say good? hehe I meant ok). I used all my daily points and 12 weekly points...nope, I meant 30....I forgot the fries. Sunday...easter....need I say more?!?!?! holy cow, I used appx 80 points that day....more than double my daily allowance! ok, so that was really really REALLY bad. Here's my deal....Wow, I am glad a tracked! Because I have set myself up for success the rest of the week, planning healthy meals, lots of fruit and small low point treats to tied me over. I feel full and satisfied, and like I could still lose weight even if I was the very definition of a glutton this weekend. That's what its all about, the fact that I am finally realizing, I don't have to go on month long (or longer) binges and month long diets anymore, I can feel great about eating healthy and even feel great that even if a mess up, I can still get it right the next day.
On the "body" side of things, I notice my body is feel looser, which is nice to not feel bloated or restrained in my own body. On the down side, I am getting flabby! gross! lol I feel like jell-o sometimes with how un-toned my body is. On the up side, my dear friend Elizabeth handed me a bag full of her "down-a-size" collection and I am super excited to say I can easily fit into them. I remember her wearing these items and I get excited that may be I look that good!
Working out....O man, I want to work out, but I haven't really found my nitch yet. I wish I knew what it was that I like to do for working out.
Ok, I am done rambling, but I will say that overall, I feel great and my instructor quoted a fellow member and I will do my best to replicate it. "Its hard to track food, eat right, discipline your body. Its hard to look in a crowded room and feel like the fattest person there, to have low self-esteem, and to feel trapped in your own body--you have to choose your 'hard'".
