On the Weigh: Baby Steps

Making progress, albeit slowly.

WI: -.4
Total: -3.8

I will not complain about a loss. I will not complain about a loss. I will not complain about a loss. I will not complain about a loss.

I lost a half a pound this week.  I have no business whining about it.  Yes, I wish it were more, considering my gain last week, but it's still in the right direction.  I am settling into the new WW plan, and I think it's going well.  There is more of a learning curve than I expected, but overall, I still like it.

I am hell-bent on losing again this week.  Holidays have never been easy for me, but there is no reason I can't break that pattern.  I'm going to a meeting Friday morning, so I will have new weeklies for our Christmas Even dinner, and I am earning as many APs this week as my schedule allows.  They won't count towards that meal, but it can't hurt either.  We're spending Christmas Day with Mr LikesIt's family, who tend to be very health conscious when it comes to cooking, so I am not overly worried about that part.  Otherwise, it will be really nice to have some time off to work out and relax a little! 

Lessons Learned:

• Maybe I do need to eat all of my weekies.  I had about 10 leftover, plus a handful of APs.  My bigger losses have come in weeks where I am eating more.
• Earning APs every day is a lot more fun than trying to dig out of a hole with a couple big workouts.  I can imagine that is healthier in the long run anyway.
• Eating out is hard.  I suck at good restaurant choices.  Alas, Horseshoe Pizza was worth it.
• The food in the cafeteria here is just not worth it.  I have struck out there officially.

If you're celebrating this week, have a healthy and happy Christmas!
