We used to do this as part of our daily routine in camp. It was a wonderful way to reflect on your day, and relive the moments. All of the moments. It makes you appreciative for all the good and funny memories mad at camp.
My week in an overview:
High - I successfully lost 1.7 pounds, and I made it through a cocktail party without overindulging.
Low - I have 49 weekly points, and I ate more than this! I went over my total points this week.
Uh-Oh - I sat down to watch a movie WITH the peanut butter jar. #dietfail
Today marks ONE WEEK on my diet.
Before I get to the things that went well, I must confess my short comings!
Per week, I get 49 weekly points, which I can use to splurge on whatever I want. I have lived an avid social life recently, and I love it! However, a more social life comes with MANY more opportunities to eat poorly and make bad eating decisions. I ended up going over the total points I had this week, even subtracting my activity points!
Sticking to my points will be my main focus this coming week.
I did, however, do some things FAR better than I normally would. For example, we had a mixer at work on Wednesday, and I successfully partied within my points allowance. I spoiled myself with a few chick-fil-a nuggets, a glass of wine, and a lemon tea cake. I felt liberated once the party ended. I felt in control.
If only that went into the weekend! I had a blast this weekend, but I was a bit out-of-control at the Mexican restaurant and snacking Saturday at St. Arnold's Brewery.
This week, I only lost 1.7 pounds! I was hoping for double that! But progress is progress. Here's to a fresh week, and remembering the good. !
