Ups and downs and all arounds
Boy, my last few entries look like a roller-coaster. I feel like that's how life has been lately. I'm still getting used to my new life with my husband, and sharing everything. I think he is too, and our financial situation is far from ideal. Anyway, I feel stressed, and I think that hasn't helped my weight loss efforts. It seems like it takes everything to be in alignment for me to have a good week and a good loss. How often does that happen though???
So this week I lost one of the pounds I gained last week. Not a bad thing, considering Easter was one of those days. We ate at my MIL, which went well. Unfortunately, I chose to have a large dessert after doing pretty well with dinner. There was some really yummy ice cream pie. So again I busted my bonus points. One of these weeks I'm going to stay in those extra 35 points!
On to my pet peeve. At our meeting last Tuesday we talked about both WW plans, flex (points) and Core. Someone asked if anyone has switched back and forth, and I told her I had. Then she wanted to know which I lost more on. I understand her thinking, but it is wrong....one plan does not work better than the other. It is the person that works one plan better. In other words, it doesn't matter which plan you do, it matters that you DO them. Not like I do sometimes where I am OP for a few days and then the weekend hits. If you do the plan all week, you get a good loss. It's just that simple.
Last night I went out to eat with my husband...we went to Ruby Tuesday's, of course, and I had the grilled chicken. Boy was it good...tasted like it was done on an outside grill. I love the Core plan.

Remember, Mary. It's about you, not the plan. It's your will that succeeds. It's your spirit. The plan is just a plan. It's strong-willed people like you that make it look good. Keep the faith. Power to the plebeians!!
