Doing Well!

I was not really pleased with Saturday's WI, but I am very pleased with how well I stuck to my plan this weekend. I knew it was going to be a challenge because I was at my fiance's family's so I had no way to plan ahead for my meals. However, I made it a point to drink a lot of water, fill up on salad and fruit, and skip desserts to save points.

Monday was a day off at home, and while I did log all my points, I wound up spending most of the day grazing on things that weren't as nutritious as salad and fruit, and wound up using 9 WPAs. Not the end of the world, but I need to work on days like that.

Today I'm back at work, with a plan that is working so far. After work I am going to Curves. I do enjoy it. It definitely is a decent workout.

Weekly Plan

This is my weekly plan through the end of June:

- Sunday: WPAs reset - new "Points" week
- Monday: Curves
- Wednesday: Curves
- Friday: Curves
- Saturday: WW meeting & WI

I want to power through and reach my 10% in the next couple of months, so I am also going to be more strict about staying OP and adhering to my daily Points target.

Curves

I signed up at Curves today, on a month-to-month plan, because I really need to get into a workout routine, even if it is on dinky Curves equipment. Once I can prove to myself that I can workout 3x a week for a few months in a row (I'm aiming for 3), I will then join a real gym.

I need to cancel my membership at my current "real" gym but first I need to get a letter from them saying how I've been a member for 4+ months this year so my health insurance will give me some dinero back.

Progress

On Saturday I had an "unofficial" WI at the WW meeting center (I had been in on Sunday which they considered the same week, so they couldn't put it in my booklet). I was down 1.8 lbs from Sunday! This makes me down 2.8 lbs for the past 2 weeks. I'm very happy with this progress. Because while I haven't been perfect, I have been persistent.

It's not about perfection, it's about persistence. Behold, my mantra!

Note to Self

Whatever you do, just keep going. You're doing great. Fake it until you make it - fake it until it becomes a natural habit. Just don't stop. If you stop, you will just have to start all over from square one again.

It's not about perfection, it's about persistence.
