NSV and NOT

Well, after that lousy weigh in the other day (did I blog after that?? all my vacation eating caught up with me, big time! I updated my stats for my WW profile...) I am trying to get back OP.

Monday I did well until dinner time. We didn't eat befor J's championship soccer game. They won!! We went out afterwards to celebrate. The boys picked Moose Winooski's. We ordered appetizers - calamari, nachos and chicken wings. M and I had salads as well. I tracked it all, and used flex points. That was fine.

Today was our start of the year teacher's meeting. M and I were taking Mom and Dad out for dinner tonight, so I planned accordingly. That was my NSV. I took yogurt and a fibre bar for breakfast, and took a salad for lunch. I completely avoided the three yummy pizzas that were there for lunch. Not even a bite.

Then dinner. I did OK. Had a broth based soup, pork tenderloin with sauteed veggies. The potato was pretty high in points - a twice baked one with some crunchy shell instead of potato skin. Very yummy! Mine came with dessert, which was a not so tasty piece of cake. I shared that with mom, and we didn't eat it all. Then later, I had a waffle cone with coconut cream pie ice cream. That's where I blew it. I could have just skipped that, it would have been fine. Live and learn, I guess. I'll try to track it, and I think most of my flex points must now be gone. Still have to get through the school BBQ on Thursday. Drink lots of water...

I just need to make sure that I pick myself back up and not let it lead to more bingeing and not caring. The last 3 weeks has been enough of that!!

What Gives??

So, I started this weight loss journey at the beginning of April. I've done it before, did the yo-yo dieting, lost and gained, etc., etc. Even done Weight Watchers before. I like it - doesn't seem too hard...I've lost 20 lbs, and still have a bit to go - 12 to get to my first goal (the one I'd be OK with), and about 20 to get to a goal I'd be really happy with. I don't know if it's summer, or holidays or what, but I haven't been able to get back on track.

Ever since we went on holidays to Turkey Point, and then Massachusetts, and New Brunswick, I haven't been doing well at all. Gaining and losing the same 2 lbs. I'll start off eating well, and somewhere in the day blow it, and continue eating like a pig. Like cookie dough, wine, M&M's. Today I went to the store and came home with Jos Louis, & Au Caramels. What kind of nutrition is in that??? And my water intake has been nearly non-existent.

GRRR...

Getting back on track

I'm finding it hard to get back on track with this eating right thing. Ever since holidays, I haven't been able to stop myself from eating. It started with Turkey Point, continued with Massachusetts, and New Brunswick, and now that we're back home, I just can't stay a whole day OP. I was Ok today until we ate Chinese food at 8 pm. Gah!

My weight has mostly gone up in my last three weigh ins. Well, up and down, but I'm not down any this whole month. Maybe it will be better once the kids are back at school. I'm not that far from my first goal - why do I sabatoge myself?? It's not like I look in the mirror and am satisfied with what I see. And the exercise isn't happening either. Nor is the water drinking. Just need to get myself back into it all.

I'm hoping that this will be a help to me. Make me accountable. Maybe I should put up some pictures, as well.

Anyway, welcome to my blog! I w(anna)be thin!
