Weighed in this morning and lost 10.2 pounds this week. Yes, really. I guess that’s the one good thing about being off track. Once you get back on track it’s like your first week of Weight Watchers all over again. Well, that’s how it works for me anyway.
That’s not to say that I’m going to just keep getting off track just to get on track again, because really, the gain is just not worth it.
And really, for me, right now, “on track” is such a relative term. I’m fairly on track with my meals. We’ve been doing well with the eating at home (it’s been great!), but the snacking is still killing me. See’s is my downfall at the holidays and I’ve been enjoying more than my fair share, but that didn’t seem to slow me down this week. I’m glad that such a huge part of my 20 pound gain is gone already, but this week, I will really need to kick it into high gear. Continuing eating healthy foods at home and getting the snacks under control.
And it would be good to start exercising eventually. Project #1 (which I will reveal at some point, it’s just that, if you haven’t figured it out, it’s a holiday gift for someone whom I am not sure reads me or not, so I don’t want to just announce what it is) has me on my butt every night, as the countdown to Christmas continues. I am really so very close to getting it done, but can’t get my hopes up about it. I won’t be able to relax about it or think about doing anything else for myself until it’s done.
Of course, once Project #1 is done, I need to finish Project #2. The deadline on this has moved from Mother’s Day, to “sometime in the summer” to November to December and now I’ll just be happy to get it done by the end of 2006.
These are two major projects for other people that have been on my plate for a while. I feel like once I get them done and given, then I can go back to concentrating on myself again. So, exercising may have to wait until the beginning of the year, but if I keep my eating under control then I should be okay, weight loss wise.
