I think I can, I think I can…

Hi All, just a quick update from home….I’ve been here for a full day, and let me just say…staying on plan is REALLY DIFFICULT here!! I did the best I could today. We had a lunch party- I had some cauliflower soup (homemade), 1/2 piece of homemade bread with garlic butter, and some salad for lunch. The salad had pecans and blue cheese with a homemade oil and balsamic dressing. Then I had a small amount of apple crisp. I didn’t need it, but I ate it to appease my mother, and because I seem to remember that it’s one of the better desserts, points-wise…. For dinner I made chicken parmesean with mashed potatoes (ww style- just with broth, no butter or milk) and steamed broccoli. Then I made some cookies for the family and ate the equivalent of one in dough, and then another cooked one.

Okay, so I probably should have skipped the cookies. I really didn’t need them. But, I did only have one, and I did really want it. So, I guess there’s no sense in fussing about it.

Tomorrow I’m going to a thai restaurant with my granny. I have NO idea what I’m going to eat there. I’ve resigned myself to the idea that I just may not be able to lose this week. I didn’t exercise today because it was POURING rain and it’s freezing out. I fully intended to get up and go for a run, but I’m just not hardcore enough to run in bad weather.

You know what? I changed my mind. I’m not giving up on losing this week. I’m still going to try my best. I haven’t calculated my points yet today, but I think I did okay, especially considering the circumstances. I’ve banked some APs, and I’ll do my best to exercise for the next several days leading up to my weigh in. It’s not a lost cause!!

Update: I just sat down and figured out my points for the day- I only went about 4 over, so I’m covered by my extra APs. Fingers crossed that my body wants to cooperate this week!

    Good for you for not throwing in the towel this week! You’ve been doing so well there’s no way you should beat yourself up about anything! It sounds like you’re doing awesome with the fantastic sounding food they’re serving you! lol

    You can! I know it… :)

    I hope you enjoy your time at home and maybe get in some extra AP’s while your there… Maybe take your Gran for a walk after you eat dinner? :)

    Thanks ladies! I actually did pretty well after all- I can’t believe I lost this week! My body is usually so uncooperative.
