No Loser Tuesday

Week one is over... Not very proud of my week - did some good things - some not so good things - and some great things!! :)

As of this morning... gained 1/2 pound!!! Not happy to type this - but have to be true to myself!! Did take my measurements last week - will wait until next week to take them again!!





Positive
- Drank 4-5 bottles of water (with Crystal Light) every day.
- Went to the gym 3 times
- Didn't eat any chips (I used to have some almost every day!!) except on Saturday.
- Ate veggies every day!
- My co-workers brought leftover candies from Halloween - didn't touch any!!
- Made some WW recipes
- Feel less bloated
- Have great support from my friends!!

Negative
- My plates are too full - have to cut my portions.
- My sweet neighbour brought over 6 chocolate cupcakes on Sunday... Ate one on Sunday and one Monday... Have to bring the rest to the office or I will eat them all!! ;)
- Ate dark chocolate Friday.. and Saturday. I know it's good for you - should have only once a week!! ;)

So my plan for this week:
- Continue drinking 4-5 bottles of water per day
- Go the gym 3-4 times
- Cut down my portions
- Try not to have any sweets (that's a tough one!!)

If anybody has any tips for me - go ahead!! Need all the help I can get!! :)

Have a great week!! :)

OK. We CAN do this! I had a rough week too. I kept telling me I wasn't going to touch the candy. Boy was I wrong! I learned my lesson. NO MORE CANDY IN THE HOUSE!

I have to tell you I gained at first too. It really made me frustrated but after week two I started losing. I say it is muscle!

We have a lot of the same goals this week...WE CAN DO IT!!!

A good way to cut down on your portions is to eat on smaller plates.

The other day I saw a study on TV. People who sat close to the serving dishes and had large eating utensils and large plates ate twice as much as people who sat farther from the serving dishes and had small plates and small utensils.

The idea with the plates is that if someone has a big plate, they tend to load it up. If they have a small plate, they tend to load it up too, but there's less to load up. And they don't feel like they're depriving themselves.

Good luck!

Hang in there--you can do it. You are recognizing both the good steps and the mis-steps, which is important. Keep up the good ones, and avoid or work on those weak areas.

I think you are on the right path just for doing this! Did you weight yourself at the same time as you did last time cause weight flucuates during the day. I think you are off to a great start!

Wait, you need to add into your first list of accomplishements: Am establishing some new habits and investment in myself. Cause you are! You go, girl!

Becky said...

Sounds more positive than negative despite the tiny gain (which might not be a gain at all--I bet you'll see a drop next week).

Good job! I need to get on board.

If you need a sweet, eat some fruit! But eat some nuts first so you don't get that blood sugar spike.

I eat Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate squares. I have a square or 2 everyday which is still only half of a serving. Find smaller ways to get in those things you crave. Cutting things out completely is really hard.

You can do it!
