Vacation Week on WW
Doing well on Weight Watchers during a vacation week takes some real effort. When you are used to eating on a schedule, and suddenly your routine disappears, it is awful easy to just keep eating, especially when the kitchen is so close. SO I had a challenging week, but I think I came through it ok. We'll see tomorrow at weigh in.
Wednesday night I had one of those house parties, you know, come on over and buy something. So of course I had to have all kinds of snacks and cookies there, but I was SO GOOD and didn't have anything but veggies. But....I followed that up with a Thursday night binge while out.....fried chicken strips, french fries, peanuts, chocolate...I don't get it...why, if I worked so hard the previous day, do I just turn around and blow it anyway? Is it subconscious? I don't know. After that eating party I realized I would do better counting points this week instead of doing CORE. You can do that, switch back and forth, but you have to do one plan for the whole week. It was easy to go back and count the points for my first day of the week (Wednesday) and then count Thursday, which took almost all of my week's bonus points!!!
I really needed a good day Friday to reclaim my week. I bounced back and succeeded at my father's, a real trouble spot, as I've talked about before. We had chicken soup, which I counted, but when he offered ice cream (regular, with all the works) I was able to refuse. And he got a little annoyed with me and asked me three times. NO. Hooray for me.
Saturday night was date night for me and my husband...we decided to go to Ruby Tuesday's, our favorite place. I love their "truth" menu which has all the calories listed. Now here's the real victory...I ACTUALLY LEFT FOOD ON MY PLATE. I am a charter member of the clean your plate club!
Gotta go...
