WW Meetings
I'm back at Weight Watchers meetings! I'm glad for it. It was horribly inconvenient where I used to live but we moved a few weeks ago and it's about 5 minutes away from my new apartment, so I go on Tuesdays. My points restart on Mondays.
Week 1 Results: Gained 0.4 lbs. I knew I would gain and I was sure I would gain way more than that. I tracked EVERYTHING and I went 64 points over my 35 flex points!!! I know, how did my stomach even fit that much food in it, right? It was a bad week.
Here's a new idea that I thought up, though. I track my hunger in my little WW booklet every day, which is part of the new Momentum plan. I started noting my emotions next my food so that I would know why I was eating something bad for me. So on Monday when I ate a bunch of mini Twix I wrote that I was bored and on Tuesday I was really stressed out. Friday I ate too much candy at the movie because I couldn't make up my mind between Sour Patch Kids and Milk Duds, so my friend told me I should get both. I took that as "permission" to go off plan. What a sad excuse. lol On Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day late and I had too much to drink which hindered my judgement for food. Based on all that, I created some weekly goals for myself like chewing gum when I'm bored and drinking less alcohol.
I am refreshed and ready to do well on week 2. Yesterday was my birthday (Thank you for the birthday wishes, TatumsMom, you rock!) and I didn't even use any flex points! I am so proud of myself. We have 2 BBQ's this weekend so I need to plan ahead for those. I'm thinking I will make kabobs for myself so that I don't go overboard with burgers.
I hope that you all are doing well!
