Day Seven: Going Strong & WI Results
Filed under Day to Day by kristen at 2:21 pm on Aug 09 2008
Friday I was still going strong. I worked so hard this week and I wasn’t about to ruin it the last day before my weigh-in. I was tempted a few times to eat just out of stress. (little did I know there were hormones that were playing a part. 
I was nervous to weigh-in. I don’t know why since I knew the scales were going to show a loss but I worked so hard by tracking everything. I wrote everything down every day last week. I only used 16 of my 35 flex points. I could tell you what I ate everyday.
I was tickled when the scales said that I was down 3.0 pounds. I was doing a happy dance. I needed a good loss. But now I am giving myself a pep talk. Talking myself out of a reward. Chocolate is really sounding good right now. But with the lousy “monthly hormones” I am avoiding chocolate right now. Not that I would let myself have any chocolate but I am afraid that I would lose control. This week will be a true test of how focused I am. With TOM and Sydney starting kingergarten and Sydney riding the school bus, there are food pitfalls everywhere I turn. I want to keep this pattern going.
So far today (Saturday) I am on track. I have tracked my breakfast & lunch. The points are already written in my journal. I will be weighing-in a day early this week. (Friday morning instead of Saturday). That will require even more focus and determination. I want to see another loss this week. I am at the weight that I always seem to get stuck at in the last few months. I want lower. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Update on the new site: I have almost everything moved over. Great news is that I have been able to move the pictures of food reviews to the new site. It is taking a lot of time but it is working. I really excited that we were able to get that done. There are new before & after pictures posted. So things are moving right along. Unless there are some unforeseen problems, the new site should be up and running on Monday the 18th.
I hope that you are tracking the points. Don’t let your weekend trip you up!
