Trusting the plan....

This week has been sort of a strange one.  As the sidebar shows, my weight is continuing to decline. (Yippee!)  I am starting to really notice the change and others are starting to see it as well. 

But then came this week.  I weighed Saturday and was super excited.  Then, throughout the last few days, my weight had gone up about 2.5 pounds.  It threw me for a loop because honestly, I'm tracking every bite of food.  I rarely go over my daily points and have used few weekly points also.  My mind kind of started to freak out. 

My first instinct?  "Screw it.  I'm eating."  Thankfully, I didn't follow my first instinct.  Instead, I have repeated the mantra "Trust the plan.  Trust the plan."  to myself A LOT.  I was able to hold my self-destructive habits at bay and trust the fact that if my points were in line, that eventually the scale would right itself and everything would be fine. 

And wouldn't you know it?  This morning, my weight was back where I started at last Saturday.  So, while this probably won't be a stellar number weight loss for the week, I survived the chaos and did not binge or completely self-destruct.

I'm now 76 days binge-free!  100, here I come!!!

Progress, Round 2

Don't you just hate when....

You are making dinner and it turns out terribly.  Not because the food or recipe was bad but because everything that could go wrong went wrong while you were making it.  Yeah, that was tonight.

Our menu for the evening was Oven Baked Fish Sticks, Spaghetti Squash (with pancake syrup, butter, and cinnamon...yum!), and a fruit salad.  Well, I burnt the fish sticks because the squash wasn't cooking as fast as I thought so I ended up leaving the fish in too long.  After all that, I didn't cook the squash long enough so it was still crunchy.  And it's the end of the week and I was out of most fruit, so we ended up with applesauce.

The thing about eating on plan consistently is that there isn't a lot of extra food consumed.  So when I have a meal, I am seriously looking forward to it.  Tonight's dinner of burnt fish sticks and a container of applesauce was not exactly scrumptious. 

Oh well, life goes on.  I'll do better tomorrow. 

And, oh yeah, 61 days binge-free!!  I am rocking this thing!!
