Back in the Game

I had a good week, I was discourage after the weekend but I decided to pull it back together.  So I did my cleanse to get rid of all of the mess that I ate last week.  I will be joining Weight Watchers this week, I need the help and guidance.  Making the sacrifice is the first step to my recovery......I know everything, diet wise...I look at what I know and putting it into practice is two different things.
Yes, I have been on several diet plans "Alwaysdieting" and most of them worked, but I thought that I had those plans down to a science and stop the work.  So, if I want a new me, then I will have to accept the help. 
Even with the madness last weekend it only affected my weight by two pounds and I am still on track for losing the 10lbs, I really wanted more off but this is progress.

I Lost My Way

The problem I have is that when I get to use my extra points, I use them but don't know how to find my way back to the plan.  It takes me about two days and then it sinks in that I can't continue to eat off plan.  So, back to reality.  I want to be healthy and feel and look a way that is pleasing to me.  Don't get me wrong, I like me, somedays, but when I gained weight it is depressing, nothing fits or looks right and I realize that all the progress that was made has went right out the window. 
So, I'm back on target, I'm charged up and ready to get it back on target. 
Ok the weekend wasn't all that great but I did make some accomplishments this weekend, I stayed active, I cleaned my front yard on Saturday, thanks Mia for the drive by lol....., I went to the gym on Sunday and did some shopping after that and I cleaned my house on Monday.  The gym has given me a new sense of liberty, I did't think that I would be able to withstand or go the limits but I continue to challenge myself and I like the results.

Good Week

Stayed on task all week.  I found that by eliminating a full lunch meal has helped me this week. 
So my week has been
Breakfast : Rice Cake (1pt) or Frosted Flakes (3 pts w/milk 2pts) Orange (1pt)
Snack: Turkey and Crackers ( 4 pts)
Lunch: Apple (0pts)
Dinner WW meal (5 pts or under), Meat Ball sub (8pts) salad (0) Dressing (2) Orange (1pt)
Dessert: Fudge bar (sugar free ice cream (1pt), candy ( fudge squares 5pts), Chips (7pts)
So, I maintained the weight I loss this week (2.8lbs), I was excited and it proved that I was on the right track.
I shared with Mia, this evening that I lost a total of 9lbs and if I continue then I will be on track for the goal I set for ten pounds a month.  My weight as of today is 290, It is hard but I also found out that I have to eat the things I like (candy and chips) especially if I really want to stick to the new lifestyle.
Another acheivement this week, I returned to the gym on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. I worked on the eliptical for  (12mins), the circuit (5 mins) and the treadmeal (15 mins Wed and 16.8 mins Thursday).  I will be back on Saturday and Sunday this week.
So yeah....... for me.
