Well, I am disappointed in myself this week. I broke my two cardinal rules of weight loss weigh ins. The day before your way in, you definitely do not eat late at night. You eat a reasonable dinner within your daily allowance at a reasonable dinner hour. No late night dinners or snacks. Rule number 2 is that you eat a light breakfast of say, cereal, and then definitely a light lunch. After lunch, no eating or drinking until after you weigh in. I much preferred when I lived in Utah and my weigh in meeting was in the morning. Now that I weigh in at 6pm, I have to watch what I eat and drink all weigh in day. Well, last night I blew it and had dinner way too late. I hadn't eaten much during the day, and so I had a lot of points left, but didn't get to eat dinner until after we got back from a church activity. When I got up yesterday morning I had lost 3 pounds so far this week. When I weighed in at Weight Watchers tonight, I only lost .4. Very disappointing. Especially after gaining .2 last week. The good news is that if I stay on track, next week will be very good. But it is the week of Thanksgiving. I am determined to lose weight through this holiday even though we will be traveling. I know I can do it. I just need to keep my exercising up even if I'm out of town. Today I was a little crazy with exercising. I did my step aerobics in the morning and then late afternoon I did a crazy new dvd workout video by Bob Harper. My dear svester introduced me to it, and it is called Yoga for the Warrior. Wow, it is a toughie. Today was the second time I had done it. The first time I did it, I wasn't sure if I could ever choose, of my own free will, to put it back in the dvd player and do it again, but I am glad I did. I could tell that even after one workout, that I was a little bit stronger than I was two days ago when I first did it. I will be doing it again.
Weigh lost this week: .4 lbs.
Total weight lost so far: 8.8 lbs.
Weight still to lose: 106.2
Goal this week: To lose any amount of weight even though it's Thanksgiving (but hopefully I'll be down 2 pounds)
