Weekly Weigh In: Not a Good Start

Okay so today was my weigh in day at Weight Watchers and I had been waiting for this day all week. I don't weigh myself expect on Tuesdays and while sometimes I weigh in the morning on my days off on Tuesdays, I normally weigh in the evenings at my meeting. So for last week and this week I have weighed in before the meeting. As mentioned in previous posts, I gave the Simple Start plan a try this week and I really gave it my all. I only had my indulgences for 7pp, except for Sunday and drank plenty of water. I was very strict and I worked out between the gym and running 6 days this week.

And well I got on the scale and was up 2.6 pounds.

WHAT THE HECK?!!!

I am not mad or pissed, I'm just a tad bit disappointed. I really didn't see this morning coming. I have been on such a great streak with losing weight every week in the month of December and now I have gained back what I lost in December. I just don't understand and get it. I was really upset with myself and the process. At the meeting I was quite and immediately went to Social Media. I needed to hold myself accountable and put it out there, so I did. After my meeting when I got home, I was tired and just cranky. I didn't want to work out or run, I had planned for yesterday and today to my two rest days anyway, to give myself a break.

I got home ate some carrots and hummus and laid down for a bit. I think I just needed wallow for a bit, have a pity party per say. I know its pathetic, but I was really disappointed and confused. I ended up taking a quick cat nap and when I woke up, I slapped myself silly.

How could I be upset with myself??!! I had a lot of victories this week. I made extremely good choices. I didn't over indulge. I worked out, I ate right, I slept when needed. I drank a lot of water and took my vitamins every day. I worked the process and sure the process may not have stuck for the week, but it doesn't mean I am back to the beginning. I have lost a total of 81 pounds. As one person said on my Instagram, that's an Olsen twin lol.

I have lost 81 pounds!!!

That's a lot! I am not giving up. I am done feeling sorry, I just need a couple of hours. And now I am picking myself up and keeping on. I am going to keep with Simple Start as best as I can this week. We have a bit of problem this weekend, we have to move out of our apartment because they are cleaning it of bugs, our whole building has to leave, so we have to get a hotel room for the weekend. As fun and exciting as that seems, it also means eating out. BUT I will choose items with Power Foods and fill up on them and drink lots of water. It will be weird for me to buy food for work, considering I always bring, but I will do what I can.

And well next week will be another week. If I am not good next week, I am going back to good old tracking. This week while staying with the Power Foods, I will maybe use a small portion size. I probably didn't measure all that great last week, but still it all seems off to me, maybe a fluke, but I am done talking about it and moving on.

Well though in my pity I came across this on Facebook and I will end with this...

It says it all...

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going
