Thursday Morning Moment of Truth

Happy Friday!!
   So sorry I didn't get this out yesterday! I was super busy at work and then last night ended up hanging out with my friend Samantha for like 3 hours walking! I earned 19 activity points yesterday from running with my friend Shelby then walking 5 miles with Samantha! Go me!

Here's this week's weigh-in:
-0.2 lbs
Starting Weight: 162 lbs
Current Weight: 151.2 lbs
Total Weight Lost: 10.8 lbs

Not the best weigh-in ever, but a loss is a loss so I'll take it!

I feel like I was really complacent last week with WW. I didn't track AT ALL. The only working out I did was the 10k I ran Saturday morning, so only losing 0.2 lbs is not shocking. This week I have decided to be diligent with tracking and exercise. It's way to early for me to get comfortable, I still have 21.2 lbs to go till my goal! This is my pattern though, and I feel like in this process it is so important for anyone to find their patterns and break them! In the past I will lose 10 lbs (now) and then feel really good about myself and get comfortable, and before I know it I have gained it all back. I will slack on food choices cause ya know that one cheeseburger isn't going to kill my progress, but that mentality everyday will. 

Yesterday we went to eat and I really really wanted some french fries. Instead of giving in I broke down why i thought I wanted them. 1) I was starving! 2) They sound good 3) Broccoli sounded less than appetizing. The I started thinking about how I would feel afterwards 1) guilty 2) bloated 3) upset stomach
I decided the French fries weren't worth it at the restaurant and if I still wanted some when I got home I could make some baked fries in a more controlled setting where I would know the ingredients!

Come to find out as soon as I got done eating I was so glad i didn't get them cause the broccoli was really good and I felt great after lunch!

I think it is definitely fine to give in sometimes, but control where you do it! If you have to have something make it at home and control what goes into it! And if you do splurge (and you should in moderation!) don't over do it!

So we will see how next week goes. I am so ready to hit the 140s!!

Love,
 Emma
