| Me, yesterday |
First, the good news: I weighed in on Saturday and lost 4.4 pounds! Wow! It’s amazing how much impact giving up regular soda has. I was thrilled and am aiming for a 2 pound loss this week.
Yesterday was a struggle and a half. I simply woke up with the overwhelming urge to eat, eat, eat, all day long. Junk food, sweets, candy, and soda, that’s all I wanted! I fought to stick to my Weight Watchers points. During my lunch, I picked up a candy bar, hoping it would kill the cravings. Even at 9 points, I knew I could stay under points if I stayed on track the rest of the day.
Well, that didn’t happen. As soon as I got home, I opened the fridge and munched on some leftovers that I knew would put me over my WW points for the day, but I had been fighting the munchies all day and couldn’t hack it anymore.
It could have been much worse. I stopped there and made myself go work out, an hour-long weight training workout, then logged my food for the evening and made myself stop eating. I tapped into my weekly points by about 10 points, and I am still under my weekly points, but I really try not to use those.
I was disappointed in myself for going over my daily points, but also relieved I slammed on the brakes and exercised too. I could easily have gone off the chain, devoured all the food in the house, and sat on my butt on the couch, but I didn’t. So that’s a step forward. I know yesterday could have been far, far worse!
Today I’m tracking my points very carefully, and I won’t go over my daily points the rest of the week. I still want a good weigh-in on Saturday!
