Losing weight is much harder than putting it on. I haven't lost a LOT, but it still losing, even if less than a pound every two weeks.
I went totally off WW yesterday. I didn't drink my water, I did not count my points. Daryl and I went to dinner at Chili's. I got a burger (no cheese or dressing) and onion rings. I only ate 3/4 of my burger, and about 1/4 of the onion rings. That was fine and good..
BUT we had the "endless" chips and salsa.. I ate WAY WAY WAY too many chips. I was so upset with myself after, I just didn't even look up the points,or record any for the meal. I am sure I went over my allotment of 30 smart-points a day (only other thing I had was a 2 point protein shake for breakfast). I tried to make myself feel better by telling myself, I had 78 fit-points for the week, and 35 weekly extra points I hadn't touched - and my week ended yesterday -, But I still feel awful.
Weighing in for my weekly weigh in this morning, I still have lost, but not much. It is lower than last Sunday, but I think if I had been strong and stuck to the plan, that it might look better..
Live and learn. Today is a new day.. I ate a good breakfast, recorded my points. I also have already finished 64 oz of water today, working on my next 32oz bottle right now, and will definitely finish up at least 128 oz for the day.
We are also going on our anniversary trip this week. 4 days, three nights at Whidbey Island, Washington. Should definitely get my exercise in, exploring, hiking, walking, shopping.. Just have to make sure to stick to the food plan.
So that's the update.. Slow going, like a turtle.. but I am in this for the long haul. Someday down the road I will hit my goal, and all the time spent getting there won't seem like that long.
