Day 5 on Weight Watchers
Posted by January Harshe on February 26, 2008
Hump Day
Well, it was not necessarily the middle of the week. Let me explain. Today was that day. Whenever I make a positive change, there comes a day (usually around day 4 or 5) that it is just hard. It is that day when my mind starts playing tricks and my body follows suit. I was hungry today! Really hungry! I wanted to eat and eat. It was interesting though. Instead of panicking and having an overload of negative self talk, I just allowed it be what it was. In the past I would have over binged on food, then said, "Well that’s that! I might as well eat whatever I want. I’ll worry about eating healthy later."
I have learned by now through past experiences to not give up. This is not all or nothing! I will eat better tomorrow. This is life. If I see this as just a diet, that is temporary. I don’t want to see me getting healthier again and losing weight as temporary. This is a permanent change I am making here. I may change my approach or strategy, but I am no giving up. No towel to be thrown in here!
What I Ate
I have to admit I am embarrassed to share this, but I know if I were reading it, I would want to know. I seriously decided earlier this evening that I wasn’t going to write out what I ate. As I write this post though, I know I should. I’m just going to list today’s food. It won’t necessarily be in order.
My regular oatmeal breakfast
3 oranges
A small handful of pecans
1/2 avocado
Chic-fil-a chicken sandwich
Side salad w/low fat honey mustard
Popcorn with olive oil and sea salt
Chocolate chips
Raw cheese
1 cup brown rice cooked in chicken broth and water, sea salt and pepper. Served with a little butter
Organic cookies and vanilla soy milk
2 McDonald’s ice cream cones ("shame, shame" I say as I shake my head!)
Total Points: 52 Ouch!!!
Used 10 Flex Points
Total Flex Points used for the week: 21/35
What Tomorrow Will Bring
I am looking forward to tomorrow. I know that I will feel great that I did not give up. I will focus on the changes I have made and look forward to finishing up the week on the Flex Plan. I also look forward to the Core Plan. I weighted in last Wednesday night. I started the Flex Plan on Thursday morning. I will weigh in this Thursday night for week one. I am switching meetings. My mother in law is joining me, so I’ll be attending with her.
