Well don't I feel like dancing tonight! I
walked up to my WW meeting tonight wondering what the scales would show
me. I have been good for my first week. Not a single "bad"
thing passed my lips. I was thinking maybe my downfall would be that
I haven't managed to make it to 24 points on a single day yet. I
have been averaging around 20 - 22. Also, I haven't managed to drink
more than 2 glasses of water per day. I do drink green tea though,
so maybe that counts.
Tonight was cold, so I took the long way around
to my meeting, to warm up a little.
I took my place in line, paid my meeting fee,
bought a cookbook, then stood nervously waiting for my turn on the scales.
I hoped to lose at least a kilo.
It was my turn... I put my bag and new cookbook
down... jumped on and......... YAY!!!!! A loss of 3.1 kilos!
That was much more than I hoped for. Enough to keep me motivated
for another week I hope. And, now my goal is only 47.1 kilos away!
Sunday, June 4th
Well not a bad week so far. I have found
it very easy to reach my 24 points each day!
So much for the exercising though. I managed
to go for a walk once during my lunch break at work. (It has just
been so busy I've been working through lunch) and I walked to the train
station on Friday morning, so that is another 1/2 hour walk.
We went out for dinner on Thursday night and Friday
night. Thursday was a Chinese Buffet, and Friday was the buffet at
the club. I really hate these all you can eat places!
I think I did ok though, and worked out that I
ate about 10 points worth on each night. (Which did fit perfectly
in my points total).
However, as my weight reduces, I won't be able
to eat as much in one sitting, or I will have no points left over for anything
else!
We did our grocery shop yesterday, and we bought
one of those easiyo yoghurt maker things. They have a low fat mix
and a really low fat mix. Last night we made the low fat mix, 100g
is about 1 point. I got up this morning and took a scoop.... YUK!
So then I got a brainwave and added some WW jam
and some honey... the result..... mmmmmmmm yummy. I have eaten 3
points worth today!
Today is just about over, so I have 2 days till my next weigh in. I don't feel as though I will have as great a loss this week as last. I know that is ok, I can't expect 3 kilo losses every week. But I know I will still be disappointed. However, everyone around me is very supportive, and even a .01 loss is STILL A LOSS, and that is what I have to remember every week that I lose... I am closer to my goal.
I will say it again, maybe if I write it/say it often enough, it will eventually sink in... I WILL exercise more this week. I WILL exercise more this week. I WILL exercise more this week. (Oh if only it wasn't so cold!)
Well, wish me motivation, and I will let you know
how I go on Tuesday night.
