I dipped into some of my extra points 2 days in a row. It was my son's birthday.
I have to say, it appears that everything is okay. I got on the scale today (and let's just be honest, weighing once a week is going to be a hard habit for me-- if I'm trying to lose, it's a daily event!). I survived.
I had half a waffle today at breakfast with my daughter. We split it. We ate a TON of fruit. I had a fancy schmancy (as she calls it) coffee.
It all feels very normal and within my points.
It really isn't dieting.
Interesting.
It's all starting to come together.
This week my parents are coming to visit. I am going to focus on adding a little more exercise. There's a spin class at 5 am that I once attended. The return time cuts a little close to my husband's departure time for school. With my parents here, I can give it a try and see if I make it back in enough time for him to get to work.
It's hard to explain, but even though I'm still heavier than I was at the beginning of the summer (the summer off with limited exercise following my surgery was not a good thing), I feel lighter.
Is that possible?
I am really going to be happy to hit that 5% goal. Even though it's more than I was a few months ago. When they set it at WW, I thought "Big, freaking deal."
It does feel like I'm permanently trending downward, though. There are no more babies in the plans. There is no more back pain. Each number that I hit, I'm saying good bye to it.
For good.
And not for good, hopefully; for good, definitely.
I'm always fascinated by those of you who feel the need to weigh daily. My weight fluctuates so much from day to day depending on exercise and food eaten, I can't do it. Drives me crazy!! I think I need the .2's are not enough motivation or satisfaction for me. I need to see bigger loss numbers at a time which is why if I'm really into weight loss, I sometimes only weight myself every other week.
