Happy Friday!!!

Great weigh in this morning! Down 1.2lbs for a total of 5.4lbs in the last 5 weeks. Slow and steady. It's easier said than done. I want to see huge losses. I want 5lb weeks, but I know with nursing, it's just not going to happen. So slow and steady it is! I've been using most of my weekly points on the weekend, and then staying within daily allowance all week. It works because I feel im splurging on the weekend but ready to refocus once monday is here! So I think I'll stick with that strategy for awhile :-) 

Faced the music...

...and it wasn't pretty!!

After a week of being sick, not logging and not caring, the scale put me in my place. I was up 3.6 lbs this week! An embarrassing story because I like to overshare.... Yesterday I decided I would go to panera for a bagel and cream cheese. After I ordered that, I though ahhhh throw in a bear claw....oh yeah, sure I need something to drink so why not a frozen caramel. I had no intention of logging yesterday but when I did I was shocked! That trip to panera was my WHOLE DAYS WORTH OF POINTS!!!! 44 points without even thinking! Uhhhh lesson learned though. 

So today I am back on track. Still not feeling 100% but I'll get there. I'm following my points this week! No 44 pt meals! No absolute craziness. I'm going to be accountable and definitely see a loss next week. I'm shooting for 5 lbs.

The leader today had on the board "Failure is the key to success. Each mistake teaches us something." She said that to her, it was incomplete though. She added "if we are willing to learn from it."  That is 100% true. And 100% relevant to me especially this week. Thank you to Kelly and my May Moms who pushed me to go to my meeting today. I definitely needed it and it wound up being the perfect topic. I shared about my week and got teary eyed...but it felt good being honest about what I was feeling. 

Send me responsible eating vibes :)

Still here...still counting points

Ok, you haven't heard from me because I have 1 or 2 children on me at all times, BUT, I've been counting points and staying on track for the most part. The first weigh-in I was down 2lbs! Then on Friday I weighed and was up .8. I was pissed. I used most of my weekly points, but that's aloud! I didn't know what happened. So for the hell of it I weighed again on Saturday and bam! Down a pound from the previous week! So I'm going with 3lbs down. Not a lot, but It's going in the right direction. DOWN!

Last night we celebrated my mother in laws birthday with italian food and a cake me and Mini-me made. I overdid it on dinner  but avoided alcohol, so that's a start. I tracked everything and when everyone left, I made mr. W throw out the rest of the cake. I knew I couldn't handle having it sit on the counter. It's embarrassing to say that. That I can't trust myself to not overindulge. But I can't. That 3am feeding for Captain Adorable just triggers me to go after sugar. So it's gone and I feel good that I didn't lose control. 

So here's to another week. The only challenge I have this week is a dinner with friends on Friday that will probably be pizza, but my weekly points reset that day so I should be ok!   

I just need to remember who im doing this for (well, besides ME!)

Points points points

Well I'm following Katie's footsteps and signed up for weight watchers. This isn't my first time doing their program, but I haven't done it in probably 10 years! I was really successful with it last time, but the in person weighing got to me and stressed me out towards the end, so this time I'm trying it online. Luckily, I get a lot more points from breastfeeding! And I'm also happy that fruits and veggies are free now (except wine doesn't count as a fruit. Wtf)! I feel like I can do this!
