The good the bad and the PIZZA
OK in order…the good…I took a hour long bike ride today that seemed like 5 hours. My legs don’t even hurt(yet)…I guess, I really don’t know b/c I can’t feel them. Oh my goodness. My b-friend and I rode with another couple (that ride all the time). It was way to hard for me for my 1st ride. you ever work out so hard it is a turn off?..well this is such a situation, but I know i have to push past the thought. It it time to add work out to my plan. So, I will be taking rides on my own to build up.
ok the bad, two nights of sushi and a b-day dinner for the b-friend between thursday and sat. The sushi wasn’t that bad.
now the PIZZA!Ugh this weekend has been the worst. We got back from the bike ride and the b-Friend wanted pizza. I feel bad saying no to him, why should he do with out b/c ( I was getting ready to type “b/c I am on a diet”, but it just hit me …I am not on a diet.) I am changing the way I eat it is a lifestyle change. Here is the biggest challenge…he may be moving in with me for a short time….too long to get into, but what I know is I better get some strength, b/c I set the stage…he’ll eat what I cook and when he suggests getting something to eat that is not plan friendly lifestyle friendly…I will have to give me my cookie cutter answer ” if you want to get it…you can”…he always then asks “you are not going to have any” and when i say “no”…he is fine with it…95% of the time he eats what I eat. The other 5% he gets food just for him…ZERO pressure! So, I have to be strong enough to give the answer that works all the time.
I am going to my meeting tomorrow, but i will not be weighing in.

Hi, the 0 Point Progresso Soups are new, they actually have the WW emblem n the label. They are pretty good too, I love the Southwestern kind

From what I have seen some sushi isn’t that bad but some are. The pizza…well, I’ve been there. More than once and sometimes you just need some pizza :). You busted your butt on that bike ride so you earned some APs.
Yesterday my meeting leader was talking about how sometimes people only want to go to meetings when they know they’ve lost but not when they are anticipating a gain, but that is when the meetings and WIs are needed most. A lifestyle change means the ups and downs and getting support and holding yourself accountable for both. I’m glad that you went to your meeting and understand why you didn’t weigh, but sometimes seeing the proof on the scale helps get us motivated. Not that it isn’t a bummer sometimes (I’ve been there) but I think seeing the ups and downs helps us understand that this is a lifestyle change and not a diet.
That is my LONG way of saying, you could have done worse but you posted about it and that shows that you are aware which is a good thing. It’s all about learning more about ourselves and what makes us tick. Good luck this week!
