Weigh In 155.8

I did lose this week... .6

In the past this would have frustrated me greatly.  But I read something on one of the boards that's really stuck with me.  It was titled "Ugh I only lost XX lbs this week!" and the poster when on to say she hates when people gripe about losing .4 or .6 because its still a loss and over the period of a year that .6 loss equals 30lbs which IS big.  Sounds silly but that's had gotten me thru this week.

Easter wasn't bad. Easter DINNER on the other hand... carne asada, pasta salad, and some other pasta/cheese mix. And I ATE IT ALL. (and a KitKat!) Eek. Pretty sure I used ALL my weekly points today :/ No wiggle room this week. Hopefully working out won't be a hassle this week as long as I get a rental car. Sigh.

Hope this week is better.  Hoping to God that this isn't the week where Chinese is catered in. We only get Chinese ONCE a month because the doctors prefer Mediterranean food but when we get Chinese, oh man... its a FEAST.

Need to buckle down this week. One of my goals has been to go to sleep earlier - I've actually been going to sleep later (thanks Pinterest!) I feel lack of sleep makes me snack. And I haven't been experimenting with too many new recipes lately. Between working out and taking my daughter to soccer/dance/gymnastics I just want to come home, shower and throw a Smart One in.

But I will not allow myself to get frustrated or overwhelmed.

 I can do this

By some miracle (and by miracle I mean two days of non stop spring cleaning) I lost this week. -.02

I was preparing myself all week for a gain because this week was pretty bad. Dad was in the ER, daughter threw up one night, and I know I forgot to track some things so I'm 105% sure I went over my WP. 

I over indulged some but I am proud of myself for not telling myself "oh I messed up today so I might as well just eat whatever I want the rest of the week and start again next week" I've done that too many times. Anyone else?

Now for some words of wisdom via Pinterest! Lol

I love this.  I've never thought of what I eat in this manner. 

I also have to say I don't buy the whole "but eating healthy is SO expensive" excuse anymore. I use to think that, and even now when I go to the grocery store I think "damn $7 for a package of chicken breast?!" BUT I could easily spent $7 at the Arbys drive thru and that is only one meal.

I'm rambling but this helped get me thru the week.

Hoping for a better week next Sunday (weigh in day).

Weigh in - 156.8

Today is my tracking day! Down almost 10 lbs all together.  I was worried because I was cutting it very close to using all my weekly points and I ate some things that I wasn't quite sure of the points value and just guessed by searching the WW database.  But I am happy, a 3lb loss this week. Worked out 4 times this week (I am counting the hour walking around the zoo as day 4!)
