Health: Looking up! Avoided eating processed frozen lunches all week, instead went for turkey on bagel with lots of extra veggies – including avocado – a new favorite! Biked a few times this week so far. Lost 2.8 lbs, per weigh in Thursday morning. Feeling great!
Spending: Doing well here also. Did not spend any money Mon-Wed. Bought breakfast Thurs plus stopped at the store on the way home & bought a box of 100 calorie snacks & a diet Orange Crush. Total: under &8. Tonight I have to stop & pick up a new battery charger for my older but better camera (the one that I have a remote for). I’ve been missing it!
So, I had gained most of the weight I lost at Weight Watchers back since cancelling my membership. Ugh…
You may have noticed my latest outfits tend to be either leggings, jeans or dresses/skirts (the few things that still fit at this point). It will be that way for a while but in the meantime I have gone back to the big WW.
I am looking forward & trying really hard to monitor my eating & be reasonable about food. A few curve balls have been thrown my way lately: a fashion show luncheon & a house party (on the same day), girl scout cookies & a nice dinner out for Valentine’s Day.
Now I am hoping for a little respite from the social scene for a bit. Just till I get myself under control. It’s all new again & I have just come off from eating whatever, whenever, how muchever. So, it’s been a bit of a struggle so far. Much like any addict but my drug has been food.
But… I refuse to give up on health. It’s so very important to feel good. (And looking good doesn’t hurt either.) I encourage anyone with a similar struggle to continue to move forward & know that you CAN do it. It just takes a lot of tenacity. Keep going back over & over if that’s what it takes!
