Okay, so after seven weeks on Weight Watchers and an over all gain of .8 pounds, I'm FINALLY getting the hang of this.
The program stresses tracking as a key component. Oh how right they are.
Here's the recap of my tracking suckiness:
Week One: Tracked every single thing I ate - Lost 3.2 pounds
Week Two: Tracked four of the seven days - Gained .4 pounds
Week Three: Tracked thee days (got the flu) - Lost .2 pounds
Week Four: Still sick, tracked one day - skipped weigh in
Week Five: Tracked one day - Gained (over a two week period) 4.8 pounds
Week Six: Did not track - Lost .6 pounds
Week Seven: Did not track - Lost .2 pounds
Okay, so I did lose by not tracking a couple of weeks, but I think that was pretty much just luck. I've been exercising more, now that softball has started and not been eating as much. If you look at week one, where I tracked every thing, you'll see it was my biggest loss.
What's really upsetting is that I'm ABOVE my start weight. That 4.8-pound gain really threw me off track. I'm slowly chipping away at it, but it completely erased my loss AND put me over my start weight.
I spent some time at Safeway the other day and spent $150 on groceries. Eating healthier is so much more expensive. I bought strawberries and grapes which are two of my favorite fruits and I can't wait to scarf them down.
My goal this week is to pack my lunch at least three days and track every day. You know what "they" say... baby steps.
You can do this Allie! It may be more expensive, but you're investing it to better your health.
