I like Mondays. For me, I get to start a new tracker and the sins of the past weekend are over and done.
But, after tracking all week and really being honest with myself, I ended the week on plan, meaning I didn't go over with my points plus and used all 49 of them. So, I am happy. Weather that shows a reward at the scale tomorrow or not is yet another thing entirely. We shall see.
I've been absent from my WW meetings for about a month. Vacation and then fear kept me away. I'm planning on going back tomorrow. If I show a gain, then I do. If it's a loss, great, and I continue.
Just posted about the quality vs. quantity thought on another thread and I'd like to talk a bit more about this.
Here are a few observations from me, but I am not practicing what I preach here, at least not all the time:
1. quality vs. quantity: 29 points is not all equal, lean protein, low fat, those hard to get in dairy and oils are so important and we all tend to let those things slide.
2. exercise: darn. Yes, if we truly add in those activity into our day it could really be the key to it all as well as the quality thing above.
If we follow the program and stop junk foods that INCLUDE some of those WW treats we buy, we might have a better success rate.
Spoken by the person who had a 2 point WW ice cream on top of a 2 point WW little chocolate cake the other night. Could I have had a 2 point glass of low fat milk and a banana instead? Maybe the other two points might not even have been necessary?
So, today's goal is to spent time on my treadmill. I'm going grocery shopping and the goal is healthy choices and to plan some dinners ahead of that shopping trip and get the right ingredients. I'm going to buy fruits and some fresh veggies and I'm going to plan a bit better.
I have a meeting on Wednesday morning and there will be food. I'm planning to bring some "safe" snacks and plan ahead. Planning, a very good thing!
NOTE: I had a slight loss on my own scale this morning. However, will not change my weight here until I get an official WW weight in. They differ so much from my home scale.
