I’ve learned after the month of October that a diet consisting of beer and Halloween candy does not fit well with my Weight Watchers program. I think that means it is time for the fun to come to and end…
…but only for a little while as I’ve got another cruise
vacation on the horizon.
I skipped the scale last week making it two months in a row of not really wanting to see my ending number on the scale. My monthly calendar is quite sad as of late, especially when you see the trajectory of my October weigh-ins. This is all on top of still hanging onto September vacation weight gain. I am up 9 pounds since end of August.
I feel it in my pants and I see it when I get dressed
in the morning. Plus, I constantly feel
like a failure to my WW members. How I ask
them to work on goals when I am not focused on mine?? My bestie gal Dawny and I are committed this
week to tracking, movement, and water consumption.
So far, the week is going well.
Tracking has been on point for two days, three if you
count today but it has only begun. It
has been a tough week for getting back on track as I’ve been at the Elks Lodge
for a good portion of it and the temptations are a ‘plenty. Those ladies love to feed you! I even tracked and managed my high point days
and meals out the last couple of days.
Movement has been slower. I went for a nice log walk on Wednesday
before doing some bar training at the Elks.
My feet were killing me when I got home.
Yesterday, I did a full bar shift from opening to closing and my legs
and feet were absolutely wrecked afterwards.
Bartending is hard on the body!
So, no formal activity on Thursday.
Today, I am headed back to the lodge to volunteer during the Veterans
Dinner. So, another day of no schedule
movement but I’ll be getting in my steps!
I’ll focus on getting back to scheduled movement on Saturday and Sunday
after work workday finishes.
Water isn’t a challenge for me as it is for Dawny but
it is always nice to remember to hydrate this time of year. (pauses typing to take a drink of water).
It feels good to be back on track and I am ready for
more room to breathe as my jeans are tight.
I’ve only got a few weeks to our next vacation, but I can’t stress about
that. I just need to stay committed to
tracking and movement while managing splurges in the middle.
