I did really good last week. I had a couple days where I went over maybe 2 or 3 points, but for the most part I had 5 or more points left over. This weekend I invited friends over Saturday and went to an Italian resturaunt on Sunday. I still managed to stay within my point allowance!!! So when I stepped onto the scale, I felt confident...then quickly my heart sunk!! I only lost 1.2lbs! That brings my total weight loss to 8lbs in 3 weeks! This is not going nearly as quick as I need!
My husband and I were talking last night about getting pregnant again. I told him I wanted to wait till I get down to 145 at least, that will give me time to make sure our daughter is potty trained too. However, at this rate it'll be well over a year before we can start trying to get pregnant again!
I'm not trying to sound discouraged, or BE discouraged, but man...I was really expecting 3-5 lbs this week! I can't really figure out what the issue is, this week I ate very well. Even though I'm not eating all my points...I'm not starving by any means. I just chose to eat free or low point foods such as apples, salad, and whole grains. I think I'm going to start wearing the same out fit to my weigh-ins every monday! Just because I KNOW the outfit I have on today is more than last week. I think I'm going to go home and step on the scale with several different outfits to see which weighs the least, and use it EVERY monday...
So I shall truck on! Keep pushing through the frustration. I was really hoping to reach my goal by Christmas 2010, but as the weeks pass, I feel like that goal is getting further and further away!
