I wasn't able to get back to sleep so I stayed up and took care of the dishes. I unloaded the dishwasher and loaded it right back up again. At 7:30am I took Bayou to the doggy daycare and then headed over to the 8am meeting. When I got there I knew it was time to finally get the WW food scale. It's really nice and will help with measuring foods instead of guesstimating. I feel like it's going to be a very helpful purchase. Christine was doing this mornings meeting on "Scale Surprise". She talked about the things that we do or see during the week that are helpful that may or may not show up on the scale. Here are some of the things that people offered that are helpful:
* clothes fitter looser
* exercising
* tracking
* changing behavior and making better choices
* having a positive attitude
* staying on plan
* getting in the GHG's
They are things that we have been talking about all week in all the meetings and they bare repeating. There are going to be times when I'm doing all the right things but it won't show up on the scale for whatever reason (I've hit a plateau, I'm on a medication that causes weight gain, etc.). It's during those times that I really have to pay attention to what I'm doing overall versus just looking at the number on the scale. Christine said that it's okay to weigh during the week as long as it doesn't have a constant negative effect on you. If I can look at a gain or stay the same and not freak out then weighing on non WI days isn't that big a deal. I may still not WI at home just because Karen said she didn't want us doing that. It's hard not to though.
So far this morning I've had an English muffin. I need to get something else to eat after the cleaning lady leaves. I think I'll make some eggs. Maybe I'll make a tomato, turkey sausage omelet. That actually sounds kind of good. I'm going to try to plan out my day a bit today food wise so I can be sure to use all my points and not have a ton left at the end of the day. I'll plan something for dinner too. I have ground beef and hamburgers so it'll be one of those 2 things for dinner. I'm thinking I'll scramble some ground beef, make some homemade mashed potatoes and some corn. I'll go plug all that into the tracker and see where I end up. I'll be back later.
