mlerulesOk, I've not completely fallen off the WW wagon, but it's definitely listing to one side this week (week 7). What's not helped is that we've gone through five (5) lbs of butter here in the past five (5) days. No baking, and nothing cooked yesterday. My step-dad is a fab cook for whom I've been sous-chef'ing. Tasty, savory goodness for the win!
All I can remember at the moment: turkey dotted w butter before roasting, rich tasty stuffing (both in bird and in pans), liver pate, mashed yams w browned butter, sherried mushrooms, baked potatoes, turkey soup, and finally, turkey tetrazzini today.
Short-Term Goals: (1) stay within the weekly alloted points (this week's a wash-somehow I had more of an issue with last night's meal of leftovers than Xmas dinner itself), and (2) keep the "unhealthy" eating days to no more than twice weekly. (Was on track for only once last week, but it turns out eating too little counts as unhealthy. Dang toothache!)
Also aiming for AquaFit at least once/week, which I've done since starting this new program seven (7) weeks ago. (Traveling makes this tricky at times.) Working on supplementing this with more walkies.
I've realized that I cannot let myself get hungry. Snacking is necessary. Sadly, my usual go-to (nuts) don't work so well on WW.
Anyway, I've lost weight each week since I began on 11/09/18 (weigh-in happens on Mondays), but I expect this week to lose ground (gain weight). Not gonna beat myself up too much. Will keep on keeping on. Long-term goal: get under 200 lbs by my bday.)
Getting out of the warm bed to go to the gym this AM took a lot of willpower, mainly reminding myself how bad I'd feel if I didn't. Once in the water and moving, however, it felt good. Must remember this feeling! (Exhausted afterwards because I slept crappily, but still glad I went.)
Anyway, my journey so far has me down 5% of my initial body weight, feeling generally more energetic with less ankle and hip pain, so I'm heading in the desired direction towards my ultimate goals. Hmm, writing this out has helped me gain perspective and stop beating myself up-phew! THIS is something I've missed about LJ, using writing to work through an issue. Glad to be back to it, at least a bit.
