Weekly Recap

This week was an emotional roller coaster - work was harder than normal, I worked extra hours, Justin had a lot going on, family illness... the list could go on and on!

But I DID NOT emotional eat! That is huge for me. Obviously, being over weight I have food, self control, emotional and other issues. Part of this journey is figuring out how to control all of these issues. I can figure out portion control, I can retrain my body to listen to the full feeling I honestly think the calorie/point counting is the easiest part of this. What is hard (to me) is trying to stop myself from going to get an ice cream because I had a bad day, 6 margaritas when I have a great day, a cookie because I feel blah... I have to get a check on my emotions and not let food rule my life. Not only am I excited to lose the weight, I am excited to become a better me.



Last night at dinner I made a mistake that I am still a little ticked about - I researched our restaurant and picked out the best choice for me. I ordered a Petite Fillet - what I was supposed to order was a Petit cut Fillet, the difference was 9 points, so I didn't get dessert. Not a huge deal but still annoying.

For the next two weeks I am going to use the Weight Watcher's Simply Fit Jump Start Menu guide. For two weeks I will follow the menu and see what happens. I am going to allow myself real cheese (you can have 7points a day) instead of Fat Free Cheese. Justin and I are going shopping today so tomorrow starts the  new menu.. Of course, I will keep you updated!

Tomorrow is official weigh in day. I am excited to see what the Weight Watcher's scale says. Again, I will keep you updated!

The blog is also getting a makeover this weekend, stay tuned! Have a great weekend!

  1. I love that quote ! I too went out to eat this weekend and screwed up. I went to the mall and got a chick fil a kids meal with fruit. I was so proud of myself but I think within an hour i was starving again . i was like UGHHH am i going to be fat forever ! THEN on top of that there were these sweet sweet little girls in the mall selling GIRL SCOUT cookies. My friends bought 4 boxes. And let me tell you i am weak. I ate almost the whole box of Samoas.. :(

    1. Girl Scout Cookies are the worst. At least you didn't eat the whole box! I would have ate the whole box plus started on box #2. Eating out is sooo hard! Don't beat yourself up over the weekend, start fresh today! You've got this!!!

Education become formal and some time it become informal because a little while it gives little facilitation and some time more then our thinking it is formal when it give us all little result like just development of knowledge like get your custom essay here but it is informal when it give a whole lot above than thinking like grooming your personality.

  6. Thank you for this superb article! As for me, the best way to lose weight permanently - a proper nutrition and reasonable sports. slimming, such as teas and pills provide only a temporary effect (tested on personal experience!)
