Dwelling Doesn't Do any Darn Good!

Say that out loud! LoL. That's one of my encouragement cards. I have to talk to myelf like that. I always do better with constructive criticism..LOL!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I ended mine on a good note, EXERCISING! I got in 35 minutes on the elliptical burning 375 calories. Not my whole workout but I got to the gym late. *sigh* Atleast I got there, right?! Well, I hopped on the scale for laughs and giggles and I was up 3.5lbs. YIKES!!! Definately took it with a grain of salt because I had just left a Superbowl party where I ate HORRIBLY because I couldn't resist temptation and TOM is here, ugh!! Just further lets me know WI on Tuesday is gonna be bad. I'm thinking about skipping it but that's not the right thing to do. I'll chalk it up and try harder this week.

I didn't even count my points today because I know they are bad. I didn't get to "pay all my bills" and I had 4 hot wings, queso and handful of chips and about 5 lil smokies AND A REGULAR SODA at the Superbowl party I went to/co-hosted. I haven't had soda in over a month and I can't remember the last time I had a regular one. But of course I didn't plan and had no water with me to avoid being thirsty, so I fell for it. But I did wash it down with 20oz of water and had 40oz when I got home....But the reason I ended up over there is because our group of guy friends were having the party but of course they don't cook, so they asked us to cook if they supply and buy. And being guys that AREN'T watching their weight they wanted "Superbowl food" So we cooked hot, barbeque and fried wings, velveeta nachos, and bbq smokies. Not awful but definately not the healthiest.

I'm finding out why I've been struggling so hard this week. I'm a perfectionist. I'm a do-all, end-all kind of person. I either have to do something at 100% or not at all. So it's hard for me to have weeks where I'm not eating 100% everyday. So I feel like ok, I might as well give up and be at 0% if I'm not gonna eat and exercise at 100%. I have to find a way to accept 90 or 75%. Not all the time but expect there will be times that will happen. My moods are this way too, I'm either REALLY happy or REALLY calm or REALLY mad. But hardly ever mad. And no, I'm not crazy ;)

I also didn't expect for this weightloss journey to be so emotional for me. But it is. I find myself angry if I'm not OP and I very happy and "on top of the world" when the scales are down or I have a good week exercising. Looking in the mirror is the worst. Like I pick and prod at every part of my body I don't like and let me just say there's more I don't like than I do. That's horrible, which is why I'm working SO hard to change it. Step by step, day by day.

Ok, on a non-weight related note...Remember how I said bf was going to California for a wedding..Well he flew on a buddy pass and didn't know it was basically stand by. Well, he was layed over in Philly for 6 hours overnight on the way there, MIND YOU we live in Texas and he was going to Cali. So he finally gets there the next day. Then he gets layed over in Phoenix tonight and has missed 3 flights because they are booked (surprise suprise, that's where the superbowl was) and hopefully can get one at 12am there time, so that's in an hour for him. This has really been the worst trip ever for him and this is his first time flying alone. Please pray he gets this next flight. Oh and to add on, he doens't have his cellphone, his little brother broke it and it hasn't been replaced yet. So he can't even CALL us. He's been calling his mom collect and I've been getting updates from her. He can't miss his Police Academy in the morning, PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE pray he gets back in time!

Ok, it's getting late and I have to be up early to make it to the gym before class. Then I'll go again tomorrow evening so I can have my 5 workouts for the week. I'm leaning towards going to the gym twice a day on M & W's. So I'll get in 7 work outs a week. I'll try it this week and see. Wish me luck, I have the WORST problem getting up in the morning. I wish I could be like Gettin Fit and Tatum's Mom and get up early. *sigh*

P.S- Tomorrow is the LAST day to register to vote for Super Tuesday(primaries for who is going to the candidate for each party), PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE register and vote!! Remember those that don't vote, have no room to complain about the gov't.

Definitely!

It is NOT all or nothing.  You don't ALWAYS have to give 100%.  If you give 50%, that's still more than 0.  And you can still get results.  And you keep your sanity.  You won't always be kicking yourself for eating this or slacking on your exercise.  I'm glad you realize this.  You are going to be successful!

And if you gain this week, so be it.  It's just one week of a lifetime journey.  It's really just a blip on the radar.

Don't sweat it

Those three pounds were only there due to normal daily weight fluctuation =) You did great last week with the eating and the exercise so I wish you another amazing week!!!

Man..I'm sorry about your bf's luck =( I hope he gets back home soon and safely!!! xox

OH NO!!

How horrible!!!  I Hope BF makes it back on time!  Good luck on the twice in one day exercising.  I think I might try that...

Be easy on yourself.

Remember we have extra WW points (35) to protect us! The superbowel party sounded like a lot of fun.  Did your boyfriend make it back in time for the police academy?  Thanks for visiting me on my blog.:) Please remember that with WW you have to pick yourself up and don't count a whole day as a lost.  If you start messing up don't quit counting keep counting and subtract your 35 pts.  You will do well in your next WI.

Good For You!

That's great that you worked out like you did!  Kudos to that.  I bet that queso dip was so freaking good.  Yes, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.  Hubby was tearing up those wings last night, but I made due with my little baked scoops and salsa, and I must say, they hit the spot!

I hope you have a great weigh in!

dwelling...

I agree.  Does NOTHING!  You are doing fabulous...have a great day and do some extra time in the gym to make yourself feel better.

Sounds Familiar

All or nothing - I'm working on that too.  Good luck meeting your goals this week!

Your going to do fine!

You are doing really good on staying on point and excercising I know you have your days as everyone do that you aren't on point as you want to be. But I gurantee you, you will be surprised when you go to weigh in. You probably will do better than you think your did. I wish you a happy happy weigh in! You will do great, and if you don't do as well as you like..dust yourself off and strive for a better week!

Timely words

Hi,

  Boy..your words on not dwelling were timely.   It really does not serve a purpose.   As for those pounds...it's water!!!  

Good post

I gained a pound this week, bu tI have not put that behind me because there is nothing I can do about it. Wishing you luck for tomorrow! I also hope that your BF made it back in time! Have a good one.
