I stopped by WW on my way to the airport today. My normal weigh-in day is Thursday, so I didn't have quite a full week, and also I had a full belly when I went, so I'm kind of blaming these factors for the fact that I was only down .8 pounds. But, still down! Trending the direction I want, for sure. And this is a healthy rate of loss and right within where WW says I should be, so it's not that it's not working. It's that I want to be 10 pounds lighter right now please. I'm working so hard -- gimme my immediate gratification!
Actually, I do have some gratification. I feel much better about my shape these days, and my shoulders look incredible. Shame tank top season is over. I guess I'll just have to keep going to the gym if I want anyone to see my sculpted deltoids.
Even so, I can't help but be a little disappointed in the fact that each week since I've been back, I've lost a little bit less. I think what's happening is that I'm allowing myself to eat simply because I have room in my points budget for the day, and not because I'm particularly hungry. As long as I stay within my budget, I should continue to lose, but I'd probably be more satisfied with my progress if I could cut out that "just 'cause" eating. I'll work on it...this will be a difficult week to stick to the program. I'll do my best, but I'm going to let myself have a decadent waffle at Waffle Brothers in Denver, and I'll fill up on Indian at Max's favorite place, and Dave and I will have at least one Chipotle stop, because that's always kind of been our thing. But in addition to indulging some dangerous food addictions, I'll find time to work out, too. Our longest day on the road is only about 7 hours. Not too bad. Still room to be active between driving and sleeping.
It's chilly in the airport and I'm feeling somewhat tempted to bundle up in my fleecy owl onesie.
