Weekly WI: A Gain

Hello and Happy Wednesday!

 

My Weekly WI this week was not as successful as last week.  I was hoping for a small gain but instead, gained 1.8 pounds.  I’d like to think some of that is temporary and some is hormonal.  You just never know!

 

Monday was a long day with a 2:45 a.m. wake up call, a 12-hour shift, a second job shift, and helping an Elks friend with some technical snags.  When I brought a pizza home from Kenyon it was no surprise that I wanted pizza too.  Instead of just eating one or two slices, I had three…the day before weigh in.  That is partially why I am hopeful this bump was temporary. 

 

That doesn’t negate the fact that I’ve been craving all the things lately.  I’m not sure what has spiked it because I’ve liked what I’ve been eating.  I had a pre-planned high point day on Saturday.  By Sunday, I was craving pizza and on Monday, I gave into those cravings.  Even Tuesday was a higher day than planned.  That is why the second part could be hormonal.

 

I’ve also started out my week with some high point days.  Gah!  I better get this under control STAT! 

 

On a random side note, we had our tree removed in front of our house and I LOVE it!

 

It was an ornamental plum (messy) and starting to look sick.  My neighbor decided to remove her tree because it was diseased and impacting her sprinkler system.  We didn’t get HOA approval so we will take it as it comes if they notice.  I think the tree removal makes our house look better!  We have so much natural light now inside the kitchen.

 

The van RV had to go back to the service center.  It has been a process and a huge learning curve.  Some days I’ve been really bummed out by it all.  We are trying to stay positive and not let this set the tone of all the fun yet to come.  Fingers crossed it all gets sorted out soon.

Weekly WI: A Downward Trend = A Happy Lindsay

Hello and Happy Wednesday!

I had my weekly check-in with the scale and following a successful week of a renewed commit to tracking…I had a GREAT loss!

 

I didn’t know what to expect since the cold I came down with last Sunday really did a number on me.  I completed zero activity but was 100% on point when it came to my food plan.  I spent a good portion of the week looking at macros (overall calories) vs. points.  I didn’t get on the scale last week, so I really wasn’t sure if I’d have a loss.  It feels so good to see that downward trend again.

 

I found some good 4^th of July funnies on Facebook last week.  Oh man, does anybody else think they get louder each year?  Maybe I’m just getting older!

Weekly WI: Skipping The Scale

Hello!  What a whirlwind of a week it has been.  Let me catch you up!

 

·       We bought an RV van. 

·       We went back to the dealership to take the van home a week later. 

·       The following day, I went to Seattle for the Post Malone & Jelly Roll concert. 

·       The day I returned from Seattle, I hosted a family reunion.

·       In the middle of the family reunion, I attended a celebration of life for my cousin Lori.

·       I was hit with a nasty cold virus on Sunday and have been miserable all week.

 

Because I was feeling bloated and out of sorts, I decided to skip the scale this week.  I am really looking forward to a re-start once I’m back to 100%. Before I left for Seattle, I had two weeks of losses.  I am ending the first half of the year close to where I began.  I have a lot of catching up to do!

 

I had an epiphany after my Tuesday workshop.  A new male member just celebrated 40 pounds loss.  He joined us sometime after the start of this year.  I am so impressed with his commitment and dedication to the WW program.  It made me think…he has lost 40 pounds, and here I am in the same boat I was at the start of the year. 

 

I need to refocus ASAP!

 

I have not been living my word the year…consistency and I need to dig deep to re-connect with my word and my WW program.
