Made it to the WW meeting this morning to weigh in & the official weight is 165.8 so I am down -5.2 lbs. I love the start of the week cause I get all my weekly points available again. I don't feel as stressed like today we went to burger king & I ate a cheese burger & fries & also splurged after my points were gone & had some popcorn. I used some of my weekly points but nothing like last week when I used almost 2 weeks worth in 2 days.
This is normally where I quit. Why I don't know I had a really tough week last week I ate to much & was negative in my weekly points. I ALWAYS struggle through my second week & by the end of it I am so frustrated I say screw it. Because of this making it through next week is super important to me. I feel that if I can break this two week curse I will be able to keep going. Again I have to say I love this program/plan. It is just very difficult to remember that I am learning a lifestyle again that is teaching me moderation is the key.
Today's meeting they stressed the importance of me time. They went around the room asking what our ideas of me time is & people said: reading, taking a bath, going for a walk. And he pointed out that no one said eating food. It made me think WOW. I don't ever consider snaking as me time but the first thing I do when I am stressed or overwhelmed is eat not think OK I need to take some meet time to decompress. I don't know what that seemed to be such a shocker for me. I know I am an emotional eater I just never connected the lack of me time to it AT ALL!! Today I did consider the meeting as me time. I didn't have to listen for a baby or stop in the middle of something to help DS1. It was relaxing, Church is the same way except I am always watching the reader board to see if one of my boys numbers come up, meaning I am need upstairs to change a diaper or something. So my goal this week is to find me time everyday. I don't write on this blog until everyone is asleep so this has taken the place of my journaling so blogging is very much me time. But I need a way to chill when the kids aren't in bed yet or when I am at work. As much as I hate to admit it going to the gym is also excellent me time. But getting there is so difficult. I work until 5:30 so I come home eat dinner & it is almost 7PM & then it is time to start baths & bedtimes. The best time to work out is on my days off. I am going to try to get to the gym at least once this week. I think that is a good goal I would love to start going three days right away but I think one day is much more realistic.
