Tonight was another weigh in night. I wasn't going to go, convinced that I hadn't lost anything and almost sure that I had gained. I just had not been good this weekend, nor have I done a bit of exercise this week, except for the running of errands and that kind of crap, which I don't consider exercise. But lo and behold, I did manage to lose another pound! I was shocked.
I know I still need to get my butt in gear, drink more and exercise more for sure. I am hoping that I get a schedule down pat, so that I can figure out when I can exercise and make time for some actual exercise. And drink more water. I know that today for example, I did not drink enough liquid in general. I just ran around doing errands and things and didn't get my liquids in.
But after Monday, I did stick to my points and I have found out that the less I cheat, the less I want to cheat. After Saturday's dinner at Red Lobster and Sunday's doughnut, it was so tempting to have a piece of coffee cake at a training on Wednesday, but I didn't. Fortunately I had brought a WW mini bar with me and had it instead. Was it as good as the coffee cake? Probably not, but I am glad now that I stuck to my guns. I was also able to resist a doughnut this morning, and glad I did that as well.
I know it won't be bad to cheat every now and again, but I don't think I'm ready yet, because when I get a taste of something good, I want it again and again and again. And I'm not ready for that. I want and NEED to get many, many more pounds off yet.
Other than that, things are ok. Not great, but not terrible. I'm trying to get more hours at the hospital and keep busy. I would like to be able to stay busy enough that I don't need to look for other income, but I don't know if its going to happen. Time will tell I guess.
