Since the 3 day bout weekend in February I have not been tracking.
I'm not sure why. I just haven't done it. There have been a few days here and there that I've written some stuff down. But for some reason I let myself "fall off the wagon"
I must have been sort of aware of what I was eating however. And, other than not getting in any exercise when I was sick I have gone to water aerobics and skating.
My last weigh in was 2/21.
That was 2 weeks ago.
Ok - technically 15 days ago.
I should be on week 10 - back on track now. And that's what matters.
I chose to not go to my meeting last night. The sun was shining. I wanted one last day of being off the wagon. Truffle fries and a steamed bbq pork hum bao for dinner. Thank you Jade Teahouse (if you've never eaten there - it's mega delicious and really affordable - http://www.jadeportland.com/).
I ate outside. Enjoyed my meal while two dogs stared at me, asking me with their eyes to throw them a taste of deliciousness. I did not oblige.
Instead I weighed in this morning. For Friday at 9:30 am - the meeting was packed! I stepped up to the scale thinking that I had probably gained at least a little bit of the weight back. Or at least stayed somewhere around the same.
I was shocked to see the results. A loss of 3.4 pounds. What? That's crazy.
I am aware that I usually weigh in at night, after I've eaten all day and that this means things could be a little skewed. But I'll take it!
It also means that I've now lost a grand total of 15.8 pounds and I have a new daily point target (DPT) of 28.
I know that the lower the DPT, the better. But it's always bitter sweet - going down a point. Less food I get to consume that isn't zero point fruit or veggies. I know. Fruits and Veggies are better for me. But I am still having trouble managing my sweet tooth. Not sure why it's so much harder this time than the last.
I've got a 4 day weekend (3 days after today). I need to do some self reflection and re-work my daily eating plan. I also need to figure out a work out plan. This might mean waking up earlier and that really doesn't excite me. But, I'm definitely not getting in enough exercise.
