Weekly Review ~ Week #7

For some reason the past two weeks have been H-A-R-D!  SO hard.

I thought things would be easy.  I mean I had all my meals planned out for the week before.  And while I didn't weight in that Friday (too crazy getting ready for weekends away) I figured I had done ok.

Then I went to my parents house.  I have this habit of eating like "normal" there.  Which means, treats, snacks, junk, crap, all weekend.  I have to stop that.

Then I came home to a completely unprepared week.  I had enough food in my house to feed everyone and get meals completed but everything seemed to sneak up on me and just kick my bum all day every day.

When Friday came around I knew it was bad.  VERY bad.

So here I am... up past where I wanted to be.  But I have learned.  I've learned that while I wish I could be a "free and easy" mama I can't.  There's no way I can do this.   I was born a planner for a reason and I should use that to my advantage, as much as humanly possible.

Here's what it looks like now:

My Friday weight in went like this:

Starting weight: 243lbs (March 16th 2013 weight in)
Weight in #1 - 237.4lbs DOWN 5.6lbs!!
Weight in #2 - 237.0lbs DOWN 0.4lbs
Weight in #3 - 236.4lbs DOWN 0.6lbs
Weight in #4 - 235.6lbs DOWN 0.8lbs
Weight in #5 - 235.6lbs same
Weight in #6 - Didn't do
Weight in #7 - 238.0lbs UP 2.4lbs

Total weight down 5lbs

While I want to stay excited it's hard.  I've been so stupid and done such stupid things, made stupid choices, and ate so stupid that it makes me mad.

HOWEVER... I've learned.  I've learned to use my planning skills, learned to be careful what I've eaten....

And learned that hubby's "disincentives" SUCK :(
