Weigh in, a couple days late.

Sorry for the delay in blogging my weigh in. So the weigh in at WW was -3.8.  So I have mixed feelings about the weigh in. I feel like it should have been more and it really wasn't anything but water weight. My scale & theirs doesn't match but I got 2 different numbers on mine and have no idea how far off they are.  SO I have kind of lost faith in using my scale to track how I am doing an that scares me a little. I am a little obsessed w/ weighing myself and to not be able to keep tabs on how I am doing between my weekly weigh ins bothers me.

So at our WW meeting the topic was plateaus they brought in another person, not a leader but someone like me who normally attends a different meeting. she got up there in her Boston Marathon shirt and medal.  She has a hard time losing weight and she qualified for and completed the BostonMarathon this year.  In case you don't understand what this means besides the fact that she an run 26.2 miles, she has to qualify to get into the Boston Marathon. To qualify she has to prove she ran another marathon at 3hrs & 35 mins. That means she is running 8 min miles the WHOLE 26.2 miles!!! I can't barley do a mile in 20 mins at this point.    So our WW leader asked her what keeps her going while she is running her Marathons. She said just focusing on how may miles she has completed. She then asked if any of her Marathons are ever all downhill? And she Laughed and said NO!  She then asked if it has uphill, downhill & flat parts? She then said yes, of course.  If you haven't figured it out yet she then compared it to weight loss and how we always have this expectation that it should all be downhill. Where anything worth completing isn't easy. This is true, in all aspects of life, and it is so frustrating!!!

Well I feel like I am over eating the last couple days. With a date night to Cinnebar and today I ate over 40 points.  I only get 26 a day but I am tracking every bit and I still have some weekly points left.  And I'd rather use my weekly points further away from my weigh in than to it.  Next week is already going to be difficult because DH is going out of town on business again. the first time he left I lost 7 lbs because I was so stressed I couldn't eat. The last 2 times he left I did the opposite and over ate while he was gone. I have been so stressed lately and I have yet to figure out how to manage it. I am trying to focus on what I want to get done while DH is going and I was thinking major spring cleaning but I also am thinking about gutting closets and reorganizing them. Normally I'll get so focused on my project I forget to eat until I am starving and then I run and get fast food. So I my set an alarm to make sure I remember to eat regularly.  I really am shooting for another 2.2 lbs down next week making it a even 6 lbs. But with my eating for the last couple days I don't think it is possible.

C25K week on is complete and I have the next two days off technically.  But I feel like I should start week two tomorrow. Or if I don't start it tomorrow I need to at least work out tomorrow w/ my normal treadmill & weight circuit.
