Woop Woop Weigh In Results!

 Hey Everyone!

I don't know about you guys, but personally I am SURPRISED ...(and proud) that I managed to go the entire week tracking my points.  This blog definitely helped me stay accountable this week and really pushed me to make good choices.  THANKS EVERYONE!

Rolled myself outta bed this morning and took my ass to a meeting.  I mean, I acted like it was a hassle, but I was honestly just excited to step on the scale (strange!)

And the results:

WHAT?!?!?
Down 4.6 lbs! AANNNDDD I am back (albeit barely) in the 160s!! Yup Yup.  Maybe you are not impressed because this is technically weight that I have already lost before.  So What! Foodwise I worked hard this week.  I planned, I counted, I made good choices. I can only hope and work hard enough to ensure that this is the last time I will have to lose to work myself outta the 170s.

I plan on carrying this momentum into  the next week.  And I am returning to the gym.  My cold is gone and I can no longer use that as an excuse :)

Oh wait! Almost forgot - I lost a point today.  Since I moved into a new "decade" of weight, my daily point value has decreased from 24 to 23. Yay?

Is it alright that I made a lazy dinner? Of course it is! :) I live with my parents (whip out the violins) and one of my mother's biggest pet peeves is leftover food going to waste.  . . . so i had soup that was left over from a few days ago - progresso chicken and sausage gumbo.

The Results are IN!!

I woke up this morning pretty excited to go to my weekly meeting. And besides the snickers debacle, I've been on track this whole week. Whats great about Weight Watchers is that you just have to be "good" most of the time - indulging once in a while is kinda built into the whole plan. Thats been my experience with it anyway.

I was a little late to my meeting because I stopped at trader joes for a Cliff bar (will discuss that disaster later) to snack on while I was at the meeting. Stepped on the scale and clocked in at....wait for it.....
wait for it...


161.6!!!
The photographic evidence :)

Yes! Its true!
I lost 3lbs this week.
Well, let me just note that a 3lb loss isn't really typical for me. But last week I had a 2 lb gain so I think that's why my loss was so serious. I didn't even exercise since I just wanted to get back to the basics of the whole food thing.

But regardless .... 161.6!?!? AHH! I am so pumped! I called my Mom and told her about it all nonchalant but inside I was doing my happy dance! Go Me! At this point, I am very close to other milestones (soooo close to 25lb lost, soooo close to being out of the 160s!!) But I don't want to think about it too much. I'll just keep focused on this new week and food and maybe throw in a little exercise somewhere. Wish me luck!
