I weighed in Thursday evening and was down 1.6lbs despite the ridiculous weekend I had (see below post). I had great motivation after that. I was great yesterday during the work day, but went to the bar after work to get a beer. Of course it didn't turn out to be just one beer. However, I DID count everything I put in my mouth. And while I was there, I didn't have a glorious wrap with ranch sauce. Instead, I chose a chicken salad, without cheese, and balsamic dressing. And it was surprisingly yummy. I felt great about my choice and had 3 margarita's after that, but like I said I counted everything, of course dipping into weeklies.
Today, woke up a little so-so, but not terrible. Went to the bagel store we always go to on the weekends, but instead of my sausage, egg, cheese on an everything bagel I had egg whites on a honey wheat. It was surprisingly good, too. Tonight, we grill! I'm already fantasizing about the veggies!
So in the end, although I did go a little (or way) nuts on drinks last night, I counted everything, ate decent the day after, and don't feel guilty about my choices. That's a step in the right direction in my mind!

Disappointed
I was not good this weekend. Not good at all. I started out with great intentions.
Friday: Nine Inch Nails/Jane's Addiction Concert. I was on track all day. Stopped and got a 6-pack of Bud-Light for tailgating after work, went through Chick-Fil-A for a grilled sandwich and fruit cup. After Chick-Fil-A and pre-beer, I had 5 points to spare plus weeklies. Unfortunately, the beer didn't stop after the 6-pack. Inside the concert, I got a beer (like a 16 or 24 oz'er). The lady thought I said 2, so I was double fisting. Before Jane's Addiction....ANOTHER beer. So, tally is 3 large beers, plus the 6-pack. After the concert, we went to a bar/restaurant we always hang out at. I got a terrible (but so good at the time) chicken wrap with ranch sauce...and fries. PLUS a bloody mary and a margarita. O.M.G. I went crazy. I was too embarrassed to even count every single point.
Saturday: I was great all day. Drank tons of water for obvious reasons, ate egg whites, stayed within points. We went Uptown Saturday evening, ate at a pizzeria - I had a grilled portabella mushroom salad with balsamic dressing. The dressing tasted too good to be alright though. Went to a bar, had 1 beer. Went to the movies - no popcorn. Was on a roll...Then we went to a bar after the movie. And the cover band was great. And the crowd was great. And 3-4-5 too many drinks were great. I have no self control with drinks. At all. I tried to count all of the drinks I could remember. No binge eating though.
Sunday: I felt like crap after 2 nights of drinking (since being out of practice from college) and what did I eat? Not only Burger King chicken straws with fries, BUT! Also 4 pieces from a large, extra pepperoni STUFFED CRUST pizza from Pizza Hut. WTF?! I did count all of that.
The last time I 'failed' at WW, it was because of partying. Not just the drinks themselves, but the awful food I succumbed to during and after drinking. A topic that was discussed on the WW 20-something's board last week was, how in the world did I only gain ___ lbs during college, when after 1 night of partying, I gain 5lbs?! SO true.
This was my first weekend/week back to WW after a 2.5 month hiatus and I am currently -8 in weeklies with only 3 AP's. I wish I was excited about my first WI. That decent sized drop in weight due to it being your 1st week back. I'm petrified.
But I am going. I am facing the scale. I am going to succeed no matter how many setbacks I encounter.

Storms
All day I had in my head that I would go to the gym after work. I didn't pack clothes to go immediately like I usually do, but I was going to come home, change, eat a teaspoon of peanut butter, and dart back out. Right.
I got home, with severe thunderstorm warnings issued, saw the lighting and sat down in front of the computer. There I sat waiting on the rain I didn't want to drive in. Thankfully, I went on the WW boards and saw the thread for 'What activity did you do today?'. Some of those people had done 40 minutes of cardio plus weights, plus abs, on and on and on. Needless to say, it motivated me - though not to the point of going to the gym. I changed, popped in 30 Day Shred and had Jillian kick my ass.
Speaking of which my ass is sore (or soar? I can never keep the two straight) from the personal training session yesterday. It was awesome! Afterward I did a C25K session. Technically I'm on Week 4 Day 3, however I was NOT up for that after the PT. So, I reverted to Week 3 Day 3. I still walked out of the gym looking like I sat in a sauna for an hour. And I wore my new work out specific shirt - a Nike Dry fit thing. It's kind of form fitting atleast much more so than the huge t-shirts I usually wear. I actually liked what I looked like at the gym. Pretty amazing feeling. I have no idea when that last happened, if ever.
:-)

Annnnnd I'm back
So here I am agian. I know I did the speech thing about recommitting, blah blah blah. But I didn't stick to it. I dropped down to online only. That didn't work. Then I cancelled the WW membership.
So I rejoined yesterday. I gained 5 lbs in 2.5 months. Not terrible. But I always think about how much weight I could have lost if I had stuck to it. Anyway, regardless I am back. I'm tracking, and drinking water, and am concious of being 'full'. I need to start planning though. I think that'll be my goal for this week.
I'll plan meals. And go to the gym at least one over the weekend. Damn it. Oh, I've also readjusted my goal weight to 165 from 160. We'll see as I get closer if that changes again...
