Minimal Loss

Okay,

I will no longer weigh in at home before my WW meeting.  I weighed at home in the a.m. and had lost close to 6 pounds!  I knew it wouldn't actually be that much loss by the evening, but I was positive I would have a good loss.  I would make my 25 pound loss and possibly hit my 10% of 26 pounds.  I was pumped.

Then....

I stepped on the scale at my meeting- one pound!  One measly pound!  WHAT????  I was bummed.  As I walked away, I realized that my keys and cell phone were still in my jacket pocket.  Normally, I even take the jacket off.  So, I removed my cell phone and keys and weighed again.  I had loss another .4 pounds.  I told the leader to not change my card, I would just see it next week.

But, that wasn't the end.  I was so upset.  My husband was very upset with me since I had lost one whole pound!  I knew that I had worked hard.  I walked 16 miles last week!  I even did a little extra and walked on the days that I don't normally.  Well, I ended up binging on pizza!  We had planned for me to bring home pizza for dinner.  I ate 7 slices of pizza throughout the evening!  YES, that was hard to admit on my blog!  That is more than my daily amount of points. It was veggie pizza, but come on, 7 slices!!

So, let's review what this binge got me: an overly full stomach, more points than I get in a day, a possible gain for next week.  Not to mention so much sodium that I am swollen this morning and the guilt!  So, for those of you out there trying to remove weight- don't binge over a one pound loss!

So this morning, I have forgiven myself and recommitted to removing my weight.  I have thought back on the week and decided that I may not have wrote down every little bite I took.  I need to remember, "Bite it, Write it!".  I also want to look again at my portion sizes.  I also eat the same thing every morning for breakfast.  I may need to change up my food a little.   I did change up my exercise last week, so this week I want to continue my exercise and focus on my food! 

So, here's to another week!
