Hey Everyone,
So my last two weigh-ins have been a little disappointing. For two weeks in a row I gained weight, which is very unusual for me. However, most of the problem was what I had been eating or drinking on the Friday night before I weigh in on Saturday.
The first week, I learned that I needed to drink a lot more water. Which I corrected and saw a difference. However, something I've always known I shouldn't do before I weigh-ins but I did anyway because it wasn't a problem until now, was drink. Eating BBQ that night didn't help either.
Then last week, I was really good all week long doing simply filling and tracking but a major downfall of mine is sushi. Sushi is not bad for you, except when weighing in the next day. It was Friday night, my friend and a I wanted sushi, so we had it. Drinking wine didn't help the situation either. So I gained .2 pounds, which isn't a big deal but I had been doing really well all week and one night messed it up.
Like I said in the title, the art of weight loss. I guess I should be happy that I have gotten to the point where I need to watch what I eat the day/night before I weigh in, which I am. I have come to the point in my adventure where I can't go and drink the night before I weigh in and lose weight. You can ask my roommate and friends at school, there were many times I woke up from a night of fun, hung over, and still drove to my weight watchers meeting. AND STILL LOST WEIGHT!! That is not normal. But is was really nice. And it is just not that way anymore. In fact, it was so not a problem that when I changed the day I weighed in was so I didn't have to wake up for weight watchers.
But as I have said already, I am really not upset by this. This is really a good thing. Losing weight is not supposed to be easy. I have learned that sometimes my body needs to gain some weight, and then I lose more the next week. Also, I had been tracking my food in the same way for a while, which can be tedious in general. So my body definitely needed some type of change. So I decided to do simply filling again. But I am really doing it the right way. Because it made me nervous, what I would do was be on the simply filling setting, then change it to tracking to see how many points I used, and then change it back. What can I say? It is a little nutty...
This week I have been doing simply filling again the right way, staying on the setting and everything. I really like it. And I know that I have lost weight. Since I am going to Amagansett tomorrow, I am going to a meeting tomorrow morning before I go. Since it is a long weekend, I am hoping it will not mess up my week too much. This is how I feel about every vacation, though. I know it will be ok. It is going to be a relaxing long weekend, which means, doing homework, working out, and being on the beach!
Well that is it for now,
Julia
