I weighed in at 155.0 this week. I lost 1.2 pounds. Honestly, I'm a little disappointed. I feel like 1.2 pounds was nothing....like it was water weight or something. Like I went to the bathroom and lost a whole pound. Bleh. I know everyone around me says it's a good start and to be happy about it, but I can't. Maybe I'm selfish and wanted more from myself.
This week was my first real breakdown. Friday night was my night off and my husband and I wanted to go out to eat as we normally do. Like a good girl I looked online before we decided on where to go and looked up the restaurant's nutrional info to calculate point values. Every menu I looked at was high in points, even after splitting the meal and taking some home for later. Every food I loved and wanted seemed off limits. "NO YOU CAN'T HAVE THAT!" My WW buddies knew from Facebook that I was ready to give up and just go eat what ever I felt like. Screw the plan and screw the points! I was immediately depressed and sulked in my living room for a few hours. My poor husband was probably starving, but he waited for me to come around and decide on what we were going to do. I finally composed myself and told myself to get a grip. I then went over everything we had in the house, planned a trip to Walmart and then made dinner. My husband ended up cooked a great meal on the grill and we watched movies all night. I felt so good about what I ate and even though I went a few points over, I knew it was the better choice for me.
I'm glad I had those somewhat cheering me on via Facebook and of course my husband was there to rattle back to my sanity.
That night I made cake from a recipe I found on the WW site. Actually I made 2. They were super awesome and only 5 points for two pieces. Mmmm
Sunday I went to eat with my sister who has also joined us on this WW round. Again we did the restaurant dance and debated as to which one had better choices. We eventually decided on Subway, which is not as point savvy as you would think! We ate a whole 11 points worth with a sandwich and chips. Found out I do not like cucumbers on my sandwich. Yuck!
So this week has definetly been tougher, but of course it's supposed to be! I'm scared for next week, as my cravings for McNuggets start to take over. I have to keep thinking about Thursday's weigh in....and not fall off the bandwagon just yet.
Learn something new this week - I am now becoming addicted to the sugar free Jello, mainly because it is 0 points!
