Time to get serious

Ok so I went to my WW meeting today and I was not shocked with the results. 

2 weeks back I went and gained 3.2lbs.  Again not shocking since I had not worked out, and was eating like crap.  I dropped 2 last week, but i think that was because of the 4 mile run I had just completed before the meeting. So today I was up .2, which is not a huge gain, but it is not a loss.

I was talking to my leader and she asked me what was going on, and I told her that I didn't have any self control any more and was making bad choices... She informed me that it wasn't that i didn't have self control, it was that i was choosing not to exercise it. A very true statement. So her suggestion: She took a rubber band and wrote "make better choices" on it and told me to put in on.  This would be used as a reminder every time i went to reach for that piece of candy or apple fritter. I think this is gonna be a good trick for me.

I really just need to learn to say no, not only with food but in other parts of my life. I was starting to think that my time in Chicago had begun to teach me independence and how to cope with being alone, which in ways it has. For almost a year I only went out every once in awhile (mainly because I didn't have a friends base), but now Im going out all the time which is not good for my liver, my weight control, or my education. I think most of this is fear of rejection and just not wanting to miss out on things. Both of which i need to get over real quick! And again, Im not saying I don't say no sometimes... cause I do... its just hard to do it all the time.

Anyway goals for this week:

1. Track- I am going to try to track EVERYTHING, even the large amounts of beer I will consume tomorrow.
2. Stick to the Points- I will only use my extra points, and not my activity points I earn. This is gonna be the hardest, since tomorrow is gonna be a train wreck.
3. Workout- I have missed Yoga the past 2 weeks and have not been running as much. I will go to yoga Monday, run Tuesday and wed and hopefully Thurs!
4. Say No!- My uncle thinks its a good idea to bring home apple fritters from the shop, and they manage to get eaten even if i don't want them. Im gonna try to make better choices when it comes to these and other sweets I encounter.
5. Do work- Im hoping if i stay distracted with my school reading and such, I will have a better time saying no and doing the above!

So that being said, here is to a new day and a new week. Hopefully it will be successful!
