WW Accountability Week 2
It was an epic week of denial, as I went out to eat three times during my "first week" of WW.
Also, I can blame it on the snowstorm and being stuck at home, but the reality is I also only made it to the gym on Monday.
I went 5 points over my allotment for the week, but can put the blame square on:
1. Eating at Wendy's and Taco Bell for lunch. (As an excuse, though, I did assume when I pulled into the TB drive thru that there would be a low-fat menu like there is in CA. There is not. However, that shouldn't have forced me to order the $5 box.)
2. Choosing apple pie instead of angel food cake with fresh berries at my parents' Oscar Party last night.
3. Not working out two more times. I would have had a lot of leftover activity points if I had.
4. Eating four biscuits stuffed with butter and jam for breakfast Sunday... a splurge DH brought home from the grocery store. Two would have completely sufficed.
So, I'm not expecting any loss this week, but I can ID some goals to keep me on track that should be pretty simple: Eating out once this week (on my "splurge" day), and working out at least twice.
I am proud of myself for tracking (when it would have been much easier to turn a blind eye), for turning down a gourmet cupcake during a 4-hour meeting on Friday, for having a bowl of fresh fruit for breakfast on Saturday, and for doing two sets of 15 lunges on Monday (if I had an exercise nemesis, it would be lunges).
Re: WW Accountability Week 2
I miss you too!!!! I might have to hop a flight to SF one of these days.
I do pack my lunch, four times a week. I use Wednesday as my "splurge" day to eat whatever I want. Typically I pack a large salad with beans (for protein), a couple apples, some Baked Lays, and a couple ounces of nuts and dried fruit for an afternoon snack. I also keep a baggie of Kashi's "shredded wheat" in my purse for a midmorning snack.
This week, though, I had my Wednesday splurge; then had a snow day Thursday, so Matt and I went to an Indian food buffet. Then, on Friday, I noticed a funky smell from the beans in my salad before work, so I didn't pack a lunch.
Basically, I broke the system.
I did get with counting points during the week but not weekend, but no weight loss. I succumbed to Girl Scout Cookies. I didn't "work out" at the gym, but did Bikram (Hot) Yoga 4 times last week and feel good. We managed to eat most of the cookies
so that should help for the rest of the week.
I do want to get back to my gym routine especially now that it's actually sunny in the mornings instead of pitch black, but I think I'll wait until I use up my yoga classes (I bought the Groupon of 10). The only class I can make is 6:30-8:00 so by the time I get home and eat it's about 8:45. Then with all the other stuff I have to do to get ready for the next day I don't get to bed early enough for the gym the next day. I actually miss running and working out although the yoga has been good too.
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
Well, I haven't been tracking my points for the entire day. I'll track points during the day while I'm at work and when it's easy to control what I eat. When I get home, that's another story. I am proud of myself for not attacking the cake that DH bought from Safeway the other day. I keep thinking about shoveling it in my mouth, but that might not be the best idea.
I am happy to announce that I'm down 6 pounds from last week. Only because my scale was off last week because the batteries needed to be replaced. So in reality I probably only lost 1-2 pounds. Now I'm only up 6 pounds since my wedding in September.
