Tough Stuff

Well, the good news for this week is that I am at 196, which means I have now lost 30 pounds (25 from the time that I joined Weight Watchers). The bad news is that I am going on vacation this week. I really want to do good, but I know that I am probably going to be bad. I guess the goal for this week is just not to gain any weight. The place that we are staying at in Myrtle Beach has a work out facility, so I'm packin' the workout clothes in hopes of being inspired to sweat a little while I am there (besides the sweating I will do layin' out in the sun!).

Back on Track...Finally!

For the past two weeks I haven't been doing so great. It started with not feeling well, then it just progressed into not eating well and not exercising for two whole weeks just because I didn't want to! I didn't go to my Weight Watchers meeting that week either, so I think that part of the reason that I didn't stay on track. I went to this weeks meeting and found that I had only lost about a pound in two weeks. I guess I should just be glad I didn't gain! But.....this week has been much better, the meeting motivated me back into the groove, I have gotten my cravings out of the way, and now I can get back to my routine! I did splurge a little bit on Sunday when we went on a Youth Group trip, but that is o.k, I am allowed one day a week! I worked out on Saturday, and I plan on working out today, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I need to do really well this week, because next week me and my husband are going on vacation, and even though I plan on not eating out all of the time......it's vacation.......and I love to eat! I guess we'll just have to see how things go!

Down the drain....

So....I have pretty much decided to chalk this week up to a loss. I have been feeling a little under the weather these past couple days and not only have I not been able to work out, but I find myself more inclined to submit to my cravings. For example, just now I ate two pop-tarts and drank some milk.....to the untrained eye, this may seem harmless. But to me, that is 11 points for a snack! This means I only have 4 points left for dinner, and we all know what this means! Over my points and no working out to make it ok. I am definitely not going to make my goal of 3 pounds this week. But, one more decision I have made this week is not to set weekly weight loss goals or to say "by this date, I want to weigh this much." I find that this only discourages me because most of the time I am just setting myself up for failure. From now on, I am just going to take it as it comes, so I won't have anything to be disappointed about!

Soo...Is Sushi within my points?

So that is about how many sushi rolls I ate after church yesterday at Chef Wangs. I just can't help it, I LOVE SUSHI! Is this on the diet? Well, it is now.

So, the moral of the story, I was bad yesterday!
