Need to De-Stress
Okay, I need to get these feelings down in writing and hopefully that will help relieve some of the stress I feel right now...
This week is just plain overwhelming! Last weekend was a way over-indulgent, low-to-no activity sloth fest. I had a wonderful time and went to the most incredible wedding I have ever seen but now the guilt is just killing me. Especially since the rest of the week is also full of challenges! The ONLY relief I have is that I do not have to weigh in until the end of August. I have some time but that also means I can't go to a WW meeting this month until I am ready to weigh in. Not that I planned on going for a while anyway. That is another story altogether though.
So, this week. Here is the deal. We have two birthdays at work, which means cake Monday and Tuesday. I went to 20 pts/day for this week to make up for the weekend. So I am counting the cake - or at least estimating to the best of my ability. Who really knows how many points it is. And assuming I am counting the cake correctly I have stayed in the 20pts for the past two days. Tomorrow will bring some relief. No challenges. I am going to do a real, honest 20 pts and do my usual gym routine and all will be well (if the left over cake gets out of the fridge and/or I manage to stay away from it). Thursday, however, is another event involving fatty food and beer. It is my last chance to enjoy this event which runs for 6 weeks in the summer only. I am going to do 20pts to the best of my ability. Then Friday is a BBQ at my co-worker's house. I can have my cereal in the morning (which is only 2 pts) but that leaves 18 for the cook out which believe it or not will probably be tough. So I may be over that day. I will still get to the gym in the AM though. So how bad will it be? I don't really think I am making progress on recovering from the wedding this week but if I am avoiding gaining any more (if I did gain from the wedding - I am still too scared to weigh myself) that is good, right? Then next week there are no challenges that I know of so I can do 20 pt days again and lose some weight. It will be okay. I can do this. I know how. I am 10 lbs below goal anyway. It is okay... RIGHT? Only the scale will tell...
