Weight Watchers
It has been right at a month since I have gone to a meeting. I went the first two thursdays in december. I missed the third because we were moving. Then there was Christmas and New Years on the next two thursdays.
I went last night. It was BAD. On my *last* weigh-in, I had gained 7 pounds and change. Last night I added an additional 5.6 pounds. ugh.
There are MANY factors in this, up to and including:
-I haven't been on plan for at least 3 months, probably closer to 4.
-I stopped tracking after a while when I was doing Core...which is why i started to go off-plan
-we moved during the holidays. it is damn-near impossible to eat right when moving.
-holidays are evil.
-I was sick (still am, really) and only wanted to eat cookie dough for 3 days last week.
-in going off-plan, i have started eating BAGS of candy in a sitting again. no bueno.
-I haven't been riding the trails. Hell, I haven't even been ON a bike since the first weekend in November.
-which means I stopped riding in to work.
But, all of these are just excuses. There really is just no excuse that is good enough. At all.
I am officially starting over today. I say "starting over" instead of "back on plan" because I have to go back to the basics. Tracking by hand instead of online, looking up EVERYTHING I eat, etc. The last few times I have gotten "back on plan" i just slipped back into my self-destroying habits. no more.
I got Vickie (my meeting leader) to promise that she will ask me for my tracker next Thursday.
I got zach to promise to bitch at me when I am being self-destructive. When I bitch back at home, I told him to tell me I was sounding like Missy (you would have to know her), and if I still don't change right then I put a note in his phone that he is to show me to REMIND ME that I *told* him to tell me I was being like her. (yes, she really is that bad).
I expect a big loss next thursday, because it is as if it was my first week all over again. After that, I hope for 1-2 pounds a week, but will take a 0.2 pound loss just as happily. After all, a loss is a loss!
Also, I need to get off my ass and database our books at home so I can get them out of what is to be my exercise room. In the mean time, I will start walking every day I am able. I have NO EXCUSE to not do it now that we have moved. No traffic, not dangerous (outside of stray dogs mostly), easier to use route to get in a good distance (one loop instead of 6 at the apartment complex).
And I have to get back on the bike!
