I was well aware, when I was dragged kicking and screaming to weigh in by Mom and BG, that there was going to be a gain this week. I was prepared for the scales to have gone in the wrong direction. I was NOT however, prepared to have gained 3lbs in 7 days. That's just crazy! It also means that I now have 9lbs to lose if I am going to get to my 10% goal before Christmas rather than the original 6lbs before my weeks annual leave. Goddammit!
Anyway ... I have taken a v. strict approach to the week so far. On Monday morning(pre weigh-in) I planned 16 pts of meals for the whole of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. So far this has all gone to plan and if I can stick to my planned evening meal tonight I will have saved 9 points in the last three days and earned 3 activity points from Aerobics this evening. That will give me a little bit of slack for the weekend BUT I don't necessarily want to use them up if I can help it. In the back of my mind I have a distant memory of losing 4lbs the first week of my diet and being as this is essentially starting from square one I would like to lose the same amount this week. I know this is a BAD thought to have and a slightly unrealistic goal to set myself. And I know that if I don't do it I run the risk of getting fed up and sabotaging myself but it's too late. I had the thought and now it's out there waggling its bits at me and blowing raspberries.
All I can do is hope that I stay well in the zone like I have been for the last few days until next weeks weigh in. At which point I shall cut myself some slack and go back to my full 19 points per day again but this week I need a severe boost to the metabolism.
