A Pound for a Pound
I gained a pound. Funny little trend I have going this summer. Lose over a pound, gain a pound, lose that pound, lose a little more, gain another pound... Gotta say this is a trend that I'm not used to. I'm used to being successful almost all of the time. That was the first year and a half of this journey!
This summer has been a challenge with food because I'm not working. I spend a lot of boredom time thinking about food and eating it because I spend so much time thinking about it. Then on the days when I am out and about I spend so much time not eating that by the time I have time to eat I'm starving and eat too much.
I've upped my points to 20 per day to make me feel less like I have to be anorexic. I commit to some kind of exercise this week but I'm not obligating myself to a certain amount of days or AP's. If I do earn AP's I do not plan to eat them. I have finished all my ice cream in the freezer and do not have plans to buy more because it is my downfall.
Mike had a really good ice cream suggestion, though. My biggest problem is scooping just one serving of ice cream out of the tub. I always go for more and end up eating at least twice as much. Mike suggested I buy several little Gladware/Ziplock containers and scoop out individual servings to store in the fridge. This would totally work because it worked when I just ate one little WW ice cream dessert every night. Not a bad idea at all.
