Over the past few days, I’ve been feeling my resolve to eat
healthy starting to wean. It is a combination
of needing to shake up my meals as well as trying to get by with the food I
have and prolong a grocery store trip.
Last Saturday was the first day I relaxed a bit. I didn’t feel like tracking per se and/or
wanted to eat something other than my planned and usual meals. I also had a house warming party to attend
and knew there would be appetizes and such served. I ended up tracking my day and going over my
points between having Panda Express and meeting Kenyon for a late night bite to
eat that added. It is funny because even
though I planned to be off track, I still did some tracking. And, I had a lot of back-and-forth thoughts
of want vs. need.
Super Bowl Sunday I had to work overtime and was back on
track eating my planned leftovers. I got
on my home scale on Monday to see I was up about half a pound. I was bummed but figured some of it could be
temporary from Saturday’s excess food. I
had an on-track day yesterday until Kenyon suggested going out to eat after I
got off work. I didn’t have many points
left over since I’d started my day with oatmeal instead of my usual eggs,
potatoes, and oil.
But, I still made it work!
Thankfully it was the start of a new week and I had all my weekly points
available. We went to Shari’s where I
had my favorite Cuban sandwich eating with less bread. Kenyon and I shared some fries and tater
tots. I’ve used a good chunk of my
weekly points but isn’t that what they are there for? I have to be careful though since I’ve got
plans this weekend that I’ll need some extra points for.
I feel really good when I’m meal planning and eating
healthy. Eating a little freely this
last week made my mouth hurt with canker sores.
It is so weird how quickly that happens.
Higher fat foods? Higher sugar
foods? I have no idea! But, it is always a reminder that I need to
keep my eyes forward and stay the course.
Sometimes we need a little break from our healthy lifestyle. Hopefully that break doesn’t last long and doesn’t
do too much damage! My Mom told me she
joined WW so I am super excited for a partner to do this with. It will be several months until I could attend
meetings with her. She says she likes
the program so I’m glad to hear that.
I guess this post is a bunch of ramblings to say that I am
still working hard at my weight loss goals…but also having to give myself a
tiny pep talk!
