Week 8, Day 7
Posted by jennifer on 23rd March 2008
Happy Easter! I didn’t get to finish my point totals for yesterday, but I think I was right about at my target of 26 for the day. Today, being Easter, I think I may have gone over a bit with lunch, but definitely not what I could have done! I won’t be updating my food diary for yesterday or today just because it’s not my priority today. I spent the weekend at my parents’ house and visiting my grandfather in the hospital and my grandmother. A very taxing weekend emotionally! Especially with Ben gone to Trinidad for the rest of the week. But it’s okay… it’s Resurrection Sunday! I was able to go to my church from growing up today and visit with some old family friends there. I’m back home today and do have some things that need to get done, but I’m hoping for a leisurly, sunshine-filled afternoon and evening of calm before another work week.
Today also marks the end of two months on WW! Although the scale hasn’t been catching up to my eating habits quite as much as I had hoped for, I am enjoying the fact that healthy eating has become a habit. While I do have cravings for an indulgence, it’s typically more of an “okay” indulgence like a frozen yogurt or a 100calorie pack as opposed to a milkshake or a blow-out restaurant dinner. I did Wendi all week this week (trying as hard as possible this weekend, but I’m sure I went over a bit). I think it’s good! For me, the idea of NOT having Flex Points was key… I knew some days would be better than others based on the varying points alloted and that allowed me to look forward to that treat on another day… and usually I didn’t want it on that other day! I also think the scale will show me some good numbers tomorrow or in the coming days, which will be exciting! I was really hoping for 160 by my birthday (April 5th), but I think 165 would be fabulous if that’s at all reasonable. This week, my one Wendi change will be allowing fewer points on my BIG BIG day of 37. That was just too much for me. I’m going to try for 30-32 which will keep me in the healthy mindset as opposed to overindulging and taking in closer to 40 or 45 points
I also need to be a bit better with my water, and of course with exercise… but that just cannot happen right now and I can’t push my time like that. There are other things that are important right now, and while that’s one, there are some more important ones. I’m definitely not a sit-down-all-day person since I’m up and down seeing patients, but it’s a goal to have more exercise soon. I’m doing better with fruits and veggies, but I could do more, and I aim to this week.
Alright… that’s enough for me
I need to enjoy the rest of this Sabbath! HAPPY EASTER!
