Week 8

Ugh my weeks are starting to run together...

On 8/11 I weighed in and found that I gained 0.8 pounds back.  I really did it to myself.  Boot camp was canceled twice last week and I didn't go exercise in it's place.  I didn't watch my points better and I ate a double marshmallow sundae on the night before weigh in.  Ok that last one was pretty obvious why I gained but damn it that sundae was one of the best sundaes I've had in a long time!  lol

So I'm back to the see-saw feeling.  I love WW and the help it's given me to try and lose the weight I need to lose.  It's made me rethink the things I eat everyday and try and stop the 24hr eating habit I seemed to develop in my adulthood.  But on the other hand, I'm so tired of bouncing back and forth with these same five pounds I've lost so far.  I guess this is my plateau, and it's VERY frustrating.

I exercise 3 times a week (most of the time) and for the most part have been sticking to my point levels and eating out a LOT less.  What else can I do to "shake up" my metabolism?  As I type this my legs are severely burning from the millions squats and lunges we did in boot camp on Friday.  I can't imagine trying to do something on top of that...

I'm almost at the half way point in this program and I feel like I really haven't gotten anywhere.  I haven't lost that much weight; I haven't gained any muscle; I definitely haven't gained any energy or self confidence.  It's starting to feel like a waste of time and money...and I don't know how to shake myself from it.

I want to be a big loser...not a big FAT loser...

Learn something new this week: To work for WW, it is required that your weight is within 10 pounds of your healthy BMI.  So in about 30 more pounds I might be eligible to work for them on a PT basis.  Whoopee.
