catching up

Today's been my second weigh-in after declaring myself back in the game two weeks ago. My first week has been a great one and I was rewarded for my efforts with a stellar loss of -1.9 kg (4.2 lbs). Yay! I was super happy! That first week, I gave it my all, counted points even when challenged with social out-of-my-control eating situations and did some form of exercise every single day... and it totally paid off!

The second week was tough. Normally, I love the start of a new week because of the clean-slate-feeling... When I manage to start off well, it motivates me no end to add another good day and another and another. However, if things don't go my way right from the start that's when it gets hard... And that's exactly what happened last week. I started off well during the day, but then had to attend a meeting at night where at 10pm (!) they came out with the wine and some snacks. Great. It would have been rude not to have any and so I ended up using too many points on my first day... And then on my second. And then... well I guess you know where this is going. So yeah, I might have only had a tiny loss this week with 0.2 kg (0.4 lbs) but considering how my week went I'm happy with it!

Now I just have to make sure that today I'll have a good start into my new WW week... It's time to step things up a notch!

I know when we all "re-start" trying to get healthy, we expect to see big losses right away, but I think when we have unexpected events, it reminds us that every week we can't stick to our plan 100% and there may not be as big a loss, but the weeks where we can be completely on plan - that's when we will see the losses. It's all about balance. And - you didn't gain, so you're still ahead of the game!!!
