WW Week 16
Alrighty then. I did, eventually, look at my number last week and I was up 4.2 pounds. Not surprising as I did some emotional eating (old habits die hard . . . ). This week didn't start off too well either. I ate more than I should (more emotional eating) and I didn't track well. Not off to a good start at all.
I course corrected on Wednesday.
As mentioned elsewhere, although I am not Catholic, I am of a faith that observes the season of Lent. I had a few ideas about what I wanted to give up, but, in the end, I narrowed it down to one this year. What you give up is supposed to be challenging. Not impossible, but challenging. I always say that it builds character :-)
What did I give up? My Weekly Points.
Yeah.
WPs are optional. You don't have to eat them. I usually do eat them - usually all of them - sometimes more than all of them. This will definitely be challenging for me. I thought it through, though, and decided that giving up my WPs encompassed everything I am working toward.
Here's the deal. Eat my 31 daily points. No weekly points. If I earn Activity Points, I can eat those. That's it.
I will get smaller. I will eat more vegetables because if I don't, I'm going to be a hungry beotch within about four days. I will have to cook more, so I will get more variety. I will pretty much have to bring my lunch so I will save money. I will get more exercise because it will mean I can eat a little more. It's a win all the way around.
And then, in my meeting yesterday morning, a Lifetime Member described her journey by saying she was on a mission. That really resonated with me.
I'm on a mission.
And that, of course, gave me a Blues Brothers moment:
So with the Peter Gunn theme rolling around in my head, I'm on a mission. :-) I set my tracker to use my APs first. If I go over a little on my Daily Points, I'll know I have to get some additional exercise to make up for it.
I had a significant gain last week. This week, I had an even more significant loss. This is something that my body does - big leaps up and down. Even though I'm used to it, it's still a little freaky when it happens :-)
Here's the check in:
Weight: - 6.6
Daily Points: 31
Weekly Points: 49 (ate ?)
Activity Points: 0 (ate 0)
