So I've had an "off" week this past week so weigh in was sure to be "interesting" to say the least. I was at a marriage conference all weekend - and tried to make good choices with the food that was available to eat. Then went to a 50th wedding anniversary party that again I made good choices with what I ate. But then I got sick. My walking has literally stopped. I have had minimal to no exercise in almost 5 days now. I'm wiped out. Then add some other "women issues" on top of all this I just figured it was my time for an "up" week in my weight loss.
So I step on the scale and the clerk says "well, your up 0.4lbs - but she told me to take off my glasses that were on my head and my watch. I was actually ok with the 0.4lb weight gain, but I did as I was told. And sure enough - my weight remained the same as last week!! Can you just imagine how happy I was to hear that!!
So what did I learn this week??
(1) I did make good choices with my food. This is probably the main reason why WW works for me. Its not a diet. Its a change in my eating habits. I still eat all the yummy stuff every one else eats - just not as much. And although some times I choose to say "no" to something yummy - its truly my choice. I'm in total control.
(2) That yes my walking makes me feel good - its not the end all to my weight loss. I am really looking forward to getting back to walking though - I miss the way my body feels when I'm done and the energy that comes with it. And honestly, when I'm walking - I'm usually alone - and I really enjoy that alone time in my thoughts - usually just enjoying all the beauty around me and reminded of all the Blessings I truly am surrounded by.
(3) And finally, that my watch and sun-glasses weigh 0.4lbs. AMAZING right?? I wonder what else I could take off when I weigh in?!?!?
Ive been home sick for the last few days - but hopeful to be up and getting back to some normalcy sooner than later.
Until next time...
