So I didn’t update a lot towards the end of last week, because it was sort of an off-week I guess. I did the treadclimber on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for a mile. Friday J.J.’s family got into town for his graduation: his mom, his dad, his four aunts (3 of his mom’s sisters, and one of his dad’s), his little cousin, his uncle, his grandpa and his grandpa’s wife. A lot of family to meet, but it was fantastic and I loved them all.

Everybody was asking me if I wanted something to eat, personalized m&m’s, cheesecake, chips, chicken wings, lots of yummy things. I had a couple of grapes. I was really proud of myself.

The next day we got to the hotel to meet everybody early and get shuttled to the campus. Graduation was great and I am so proud of J.J.. I knew I was going to be at the hotel all day so I just tried to keep my portions under control and limit myself to a small tiny tiny inch of cake. It was yummy. I never eat my 35 bonus points anyway so I just enjoyed my day.

The only problem was that we had to go back home with all of the leftovers. This included a half of a costco cake, a giant zip loc bag of the m&m’s not to mention 2 more unopened bags, chicken wings, the rest of the croissant sandwiches, dips, chips, lots of stuff. I felt like I had ruined my day because I hadn’t followed points all day. I figured that since I had ruined it anyway I was going to have another piece of cake (this one much larger I might add), and a couple handfuls of m&m’s; tomorrow would be a different day.

I did alright Sunday. I was back to the points system and I really really thought about exercising again. I made one of those really good pizza’s with the wheat Boboli crust for dinner with my yummy WW mozzarella cheese. It tastes so good that I feel like I am eating something sinful. I did however have some more m&m’s. But I feel that this is something I learn from right? I learn from my mistakes. I kind of took a detour if you will from my Points System for a day or so and realized why I need to stay on my WW plan. Once I start eating those bad things it is like a compulsion. It is like I have alcoholic tendencies towards food and it sucks.

When Monday came around I did my points. Still no exercise, but I felt much more on track. I was still kind of depressed about the way my eating had gone the past few days though. I thought that a gain was definitely in store for my weigh in the next day. I decided to take it out on a very tiny 1 inch by 1 inch piece of cake. We were going to throw it away the next day anyway and my week was blown right? Wrong!

I weighed in at my weight watcher’s meeting this morning at 275.4. I had lost 4.6 lbs! Well really 4 minus my .6 gain last week. I was so surprised. In fact I thought my scale at home was faulty. I weighed myself at home this morning twice before I left. I got off the scale and then back on it again because I thought my sight was wrong or something. So when the WW scale confirmed mine I was thrilled. I even got to get my first 5 pound sticker at my meeting.

When I came home I started off my Tuesday right with my usual breakfast. I then did my mile on the treadclimber!. Back on track baby.
