Feeling good about having an extra long weekend as I had Friday off (RDO) and will also have Monday Off (Pub Hol). Had my brother and his girlfriend over for dinner Friday night and as they are also doing WW, I tried to make the lowest point dinner ever. I think I actually managed it. Here's what I had:
Asparagus Dip with crudites (from Dazey Dee recipes) - 0 points
Asian Style Soup (from WW website) - 0 points
Chicken Lettuce thingies (from WW website) - 3 points
Curried Beef and steamed rice (WW book) - 6 points
Dessert from this month's WW mag with yoghurt - 3 points
So, I managed to have a 5 course meal for only 12 points and as I deliberately didn't eat much during the day I still was under points.
Mind you, it didn't help much with weigh in on Saturday cause I put on 200 grams. Can't understand why when I stayed under points all week and didn't use my bonus points either. Figuring it might be that I just had a heap of food from the night before in my stomach??? Don't know and don't care cause I know I had a great week food wise and I am determined not to let the scales get to me this time. It has always been my downfall in the past cause I just want to be perfect and lose the recommended half to one kilo a week and when I don't I feel like a failure. Well I am NOT going to do that this time. I figured had a kept going all the other times I joined WW and stopped cause I had put on weight for a week and didn't want to go and embarass myself at weighin, I would have been at my goal weight for the last damn 5 years by now. So, as I want this to be the very last time I go to WW, this time is going to be different.
Did I tell you I ripped up all my previous WW books and journals on the day I joined WW 2 weeks ago? Well I did, cause I don't want to think about the previous times I had joined and failed. As far as I am concerned I don't have a past of failing so I can't think "here I go again".....
Still, I have lost 2.4 kilos in 2 weeks so I am pleased with that.
Went to physio this week about my ankle and lump under my foot. He has given me exercises to do and said I have a heap of old scarring on my ankle that he is going to try and get ride of with his "laser". I just desperately want to go back to Fernwood cause it has now been over 2 months and I really need exercise. I am hoping within the next 2 weeks I will be able to get back into the swing of things. I miss Body Pump.....
Till next time,
Shaz
