This week I was down -0.2lbs, which is better than gaining but I was hoping for a 1lb loss. I'm still very happy with my overall net results (-7.6lbs). I know that I still need to record what I'm eating to really stay on track and there were a couple of very busy days where I wrote down nothing yet ate plenty. I do feel like I know what I need to do (write things down in journal and wake up early to exercise) its just that sometimes its a little tedious. Anyway, back on track this week!
This week's meeting was so motivating. There were so many women hitting milestones this week, it was so inspiring. Two friends at the meeting are doing WW together and over the last 6 months together they lost over 90lbs!! Another woman hit her goal weight. Our leader was excited that she's about to enter her fourth year of maintenance after losing 75lbs. She shared with us that the last thing she used to do before leaving the house each morning is look in the mirror, put on her earrings, blow out her cheeks and say, "Fat piggy ready to start the day." Several women's eyes teared up, how are we so cruel to ourselves sometimes before we realize we need to make a change?
Anyway everyone seemed to be in a good mood and offering up tips and advice this week. Some comments made me laugh out loud, here's a few I thought were the most helpful:
(1) Don't use your broccoli as a shovel for the dip
(2) Wear pants that button, not stretch
(3) "No time" is just an excuse
(4) Its OK to dump food in the garbage, just donate to a food bank later
(5) I love feeling empowered
(6) Nothing tastes as good as feeling thin!
Tomorrow is the Turkey Trot and I have not run since the last 5k race 10 days ago. I'm only hoping to tie my previous time of 35 minutes. I decided not to start my official training for a half marathon until I can put the baby in babysitting at the gym. Its just too hard otherwise, although as I say this I'm wondering if I should just ask the girl next door to regularly babysit an afternoon each week.
