WW Post 2

This weekend was terrible food-wise, but oh so fun socially.  I keep doing this thing where I will work my rear off all week long only to think I deserve a little less strictness on the weekend.  Unfortunately I start my weekend on Friday and go right on through until Sunday.  I hop on the scale Monday to see all of my efforts of the previous week gone.  I assume some of the weight is from water-retention because I do love the salty snacks/foods and I'll be hitting the gym all week again but seriously, if I didn't let loose every weekend and just stuck to my plan imagine how much MORE I could lose?? 

So this is my goal for this week:  to stick to my plan and points through the weekend.  I do not get a freebie, no special snack, no day w/o tracking.  Not until I meet a weight loss goal.  I think a good reward for the first 5% is a nice meal where I don't track but it has to be a reward.  And I have to earn it.  Simply surviving 4 days isn't going to cut it.  I will not lose weight by working 4 days and relaxing 3.  If anything, I'll maintain.  I don't want to maintain.  I wouldn't be here if I wanted to maintain. 

I need more immediate support in my town.  I have to find people to help hold me accountable all the time. 

The search begins.  As does the work this week.  If I am to continue losing, I have to put the work in.  I have a lot of free time this week.  It would be well spent making recipes, planning meals, restocking the fridge with fruits and crystal light, and figuring out other foods to eat besides pasta. 

I will not feel defeated from 2 bad weekends.  I will learn from them and make the improvements.  This has to be the summer I do this.  Gahhh!!!

  1. Ok, so I've now tried to comment on this twice...hopefully this time it works!
    I just wanted you to know that I completely understand where you are coming from, and happy to help and support you!!! I know I'm not the healthiest eater/liver in the world, but I'm good at telling people what to do (or what not to do!) :-)
    So, I'm here to support you in any way I can, and will start by no longer inviting you over for fatty-boom-batty filled dinners!!!
    By the way, I think your reward should be the Tyler Florence Chicken Parm and Ceasar Salad!!!!
    Just sayin'
    LOVE YOU and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
