So, tonight's weight-in will be the one to go up on my inspiration wall. I have been putting it off (actually about 6 weeks...), but no matter what the scale says tonight I am going to post it up there.
As you can see from the photo above my weight lost on 6/17th was a 31.4lb. I wish I could say I was optimistic about tonight's weigh in. These past 6 weeks this is what has happened though
The star is 6/17th...I have gone up, up a little more, same, same, and down .2lb. Ummm....opps! I can't say I now know why...this is why...
The previous week is pretty similar. By the way, I do have activity points this week but my fitbit has not synched yet.
My non-tracking days are outnumbering my tracking days. On the days that I am not tracking I am eating way over my daily point limit. Some of the days, especially evening, I am just shoving junk in just to shove it in. Uk! Right now, my 'off days' seem more normal than my tracking days. I need to turn it around again!
Summer is hard! The first 6 months on Weight Watchers (I started in January) I did very well, about 5lbs a month. Perfect! These past few months I have hardly lost anything. I am thankful that I am staying the same, but with all of the added activity and what I thought was learned healthy eating habits I wished I was still going down. There is wishing and then there is doing. Part of it is I know the newness of weight watchers is over, no more honeymoon period. I am proud of myself that I am sticking with it though for the most part. At least I am really trying! This is the longest I have stuck with a life-style change! Also, summer is just busy and plans gets changed constantly. Very fun and good things like a spontaneous trip to the pool or river, a last-minute get together with family, and lots of barbeques (where we end up getting pizza but still call it a barbeque). I am much better with routine. I know the 'business' that I feel is nothing compared to what it was like when I was working, but my routine is off. During the winter, mainly because of weather, I find myself leaving the house maybe once or twice a week instead of 4 or 5 times a week. During the winter, I have a lot more time to focus on my daughter, house, and myself! Now, when I find myself home for an afternoon I am trying to run around catching up on housework or just unwinding doing useless stuff (like candy crush...uk).
I really need to stop and look at the big picture though.
Look at that! I have still make great progress and I am not off track. I am not completely off the wagon because then it would be going up much more or not anywhere at all because I would have stopped tracking!
So, tonight weigh in. I would be lying if I said I am not wishing for a weight loss of especially over 1.8lbs, because that would put me at or more than I was on June 17th! I am feeling cautiously optimistic. The scale was being nice to me this morning...I have had a couple of great weeks and last week's weight in when I lost .2lbs it was during my monthly (sorry if tmi) when I am usually a few pounds heavier.
I am expecting a weight that is less than 205.8 (which was last week) and I am kind of hopeful it will be closer to 2lbs. I am really trying not to get myself too focused on the numbers, because again I know the overall picture is what is going to get me to where I need to be. I just hope that the next paper I will post will be something that I am proud of.
