Friday Weigh-In

It’s Friday, so I weighed in today (even though I’ve been weighing myself nearly every day since I ‘piled on the pounds’ after last weekend!) But today is the day that counts. I’m happy to say I’ve lost the 3lb I gained since last Friday morning, but it means the scale is exactly as it was last Friday morning! I didn’t lose any. Can’t complain at that, I really shouldn’t go so overboard over the weekends, if I expect to see any loss. Maintaining is good too I guess (well not really, cos I’d still like to lose about 5lbs).

So, here’s the weekend again, but I’m determined to watch what I eat and try to still count my points too if I can. 

Here’s a few pics of what I’ve been eating this week… still forgetting to take pics of every meal, but ‘a few pics’ are better than ‘no pics at all’ !

Breakfast on Wednesday, All bran and banana with Almond Breeze milk. For lunch, tuna on a sandwich thin, and a cup of tomato soup.

Another breakfast, bagel thin, scrambled egg and blackberries!

I REALLY hope I can be good this weekend. Wish me luck!!!

I did good, then not so good!

I did really well counting my points last week, but then the weekend came and ruined it!!! As usual. I got off track with exercising too :( Only did Jillian Michaels last Monday then just got busy (and had an emotional upset, which I won’t talk about here) and my heart just wasn’t in it.

I weighed in on Friday morning and was down .2lb. Not much at all but I’ll take it.  Friday I drank a few glasses of wine! Saturday I tried to be good with food, then Sunday…. Mother’s Day, and I drank Mimosa’s AND white wine most of the day!!!!!!!! Didn’t count points AT ALL! Had these . . . .

. . . . and lots of this . . . .

salmon and asparagus quiche, roasted potatoes (in butter), salad and green beans with almonds (in butter!) And it didn’t stop there! Later in the evening I popped over to my neighbor’s. She’d been to a wine tasting weekend with her mom and sis, so I had more wine, and for some unknown reason a few servings of potato salad – just cos it was there. I wasn’t hungry in the least !!!

Why can’t I be more disciplined at the weekend? Why do I cave so easily and eat ALL the wrong things? I wish I knew. On Monday morning I nearly freaked out when I got on the scale – I’d gained 3lb since Friday morning!!!  I ate really well yesterday and thankfully I’ve already lost 2lb of the 3! My aim this week is to stay on track with points AND get through the weekend counting them too.

How do you do at the weekends? Do you still count points? Is it easy or hard for you not to over-indulge? What works for you when you’re staying OP? I’d love to know.
