I
popped into a Friday morning meeting in Meridian today. I liked the
leader but the group was only so-so. I can't actually attend Fridays
regularly due to my work schedule, but it was nice to change it up a
bit. I think part of my struggle lately is the connection to the
leader so I'm going to keep trying out different meeting
times/days/locations.
As
far as the scale this week...bleh! I checked in on the scale at home
Friday and was happy to see there was not change from Friday to
Saturday after our celebration of Pints Up Idaho. (I'll share more
on that later). There is, however, a difference between my home
scale and the WW scale so I ended up with an official 0.4 pound gain.
Oh man. I am sure feeling a bit down in the dumps. I'm not sure
what is going on but it is getting harder and harder to stay
positive.
I'm
feeling like my goal of losing 5 pounds per month might be making me
feel extra deflated. Maybe I set too high of a goal? Maybe I'm not
actually capable of losing that much each month? I really wish I
could pull large numbers like I did when Freestyle first rolled out.
I'll have to go back to look at what I was eating during the month of
Janurary. I know I'm not going to be able to find the “perfect
storm” of weight loss but sometimes I really wish I could.
Our
meeting topic was a good one:
I
know the “don't worry be happy” mentality isn't a good one and
that if I am going to keep losing weight that I have to take action.
I can't just keep wishing that next week I'll hopefully have a large
loss. I have to take steps to achieve a large weight loss. I looked
over my weight graphs and while I do need to be more realistic, I am
still optimistic.
I
am going to sit down this week and make some goals for success and
research some new meal ideas. I know I need to bulk up my meals
more. They are low in points but they could also be more
substantial. I've got to keep my motivation up as much as I can.
