I'm cooking dinner tonight, so everyone is getting delicious WW food I've been trying to eat a few flex points per day this week, just to see how it goes, and use a few more tomorrow night than the 2-3 I've been trying to eat each day. I know having one super high day is supposed to work best, but that's what I usually do at school, so am trying to switch it up a bit this week!

Hi Suite!
I've been really busy the last little bit, all the planning that comes along with moving.. I got my tickets and I'm off to Ontario May 9th. Tuesday MORNING, at weigh in I had -1.2lbs and I was really happy, so like I said earlier ate wayyy too much and then yesterday morning I started feeling really crappy. This dieting can be soo stressful some days! Well, I was giving myself a real hard time, so, even though I was extremely lazy and un-motivated, I put on my Jack Johnson and started power-walking outside to nowhere. Before I know it I was way past where I usually walk, and turned around. When I got home I just felt so rejuvinated, and Mr. Johnson brought my spirits back up and made me feel much betta, . I guess I just really needed to get the frustrations out and happily now I can say that I power walked the 'bejezzies' out of myself.
I'm a bit nervous about how hard I'm going to find staying on plan while I'm in the process of moving. I'm not always going to have the opportunities I so easily have here to make good choices and keep active, not to mention not being able to attend any meetings until I get an apartment set up and find another WW establishment. So, I'm just going to make sure I'm strong willed and focused throughout the ordeal, and remind myself constantly of the progress I've made so far, to help motivate myself to keep going.
So I still have a little bit of time before I move to reach my 23lbs, 10% goal that I really really want to achieve. (I probably should have put this in the flex talk thread...) How are things going with you?
*1.2lbs away from 20! Weee! Thank You Jack Johnson! hehe*
Tendalaya - We miss you over in the Flex Talk area Moving & eating healthy might be difficult, but you can always think of it as a spring cleaning. Getting rid of junk in the cabinets, and filling them with healthier things when you go shopping again. And be sure to stop in when you can Because we'd gladly be your "meeting" until you can find a WW group.
I'd go ahead and find where a meeting is going to take place near your new place ahead of time so you KNOW when and where you can go when you need it. It might also serve as encouragement to actually go to the meeting if you have already done the work finding out where it is.
Eating on plan is tough when you're moving, for sure! The kitchen's not set up, your cabinets aren't stocked, you don't have counterspace or energy to cook... But remember that there's pretty much always a healthy alternative at any restaurant you go to, and you can use resources like dwlz.com to help you find the points of what you're eating. If you find it hard to stay on plan, at least track what you eat - don't fall out of that habit! Even if you go way over on everything it's good to stay accountable.
As for not finding time to exercise when moving... Hm... I'd like to move how you move if it doesn't require a bunch of lifting and pulling and pushing and whatnot. Moving counts as exercise in itself, you know you'll be on your feet all day!
Good luck with everything. Jack Johnson is a good friend to have
