Bad

Last WI: 214.6/At home weight: 217.8 (VERY BAD!)

SATURDAY

Well, Thursday was very good WI - wise. I lost 0.6 lbs which was a victory considering the weekend at the casino. As usual, I gave myself freedom on Thursday night and went to Y-knots with Erik. He drove, and I drank. I didn't get completely out of it like weeks past, so that was a victory. I had a good time and didn't over indulge.

Friday was good friday and my office was closed. I made plans to go to lunch with Erik - we hadn't done that in a long time since we work so far apart. He didn't have the day off like I did, so I met him at about noon. We went to a bar/restaurant we used to go to all the time, but haven't been to in almost a year. I used to always order fried food there, and probably should have picked a different restaurant because I went to the old standby - fried shrimp with fries. Fortunately, the fries were way over cooked, so I didn't eat much of them, but still - this meal pretty much set the tone for the day. I then went to an afternoon poker game at wing's-n-things where I had a pitcher of beer over about 3 hours. From there it just went down hill.
I did "track" everything - to the extent that I recorded everything I ate in my journal. I didn't add up the points, I don't want to know. Just seeing it written down is enough for me to get back on track today in a major way. I'm going to try to have just a 20 point day and get some major activity points. Today's scale showed what it should have. Yesterday's WI at home was 215 so I know a lot of today's weight was just blotted, bad eating. I'm hoping to get back under 215 tomorrow. I really wanted to have a 1.5+ lb loss this week. I can still do it.

Plan for today - I've had 10pts so far for breakfast and lunch including a lot of veggies and 2 dairy. I'm cooking a crockpot WW recipe for dinner (pork roast - thanks Tink!). I'm hoping to eat only about 6 pts for dinner. We're going to church tonight for Easter at about 7:00 so I'll save a few points for popcorn or snack after church. I'm not sure when I'll get to the gym. I had planned to go about an hour ago, but Erik put Daniel down and wanted to go to the store to get some easter bunny candy. So, I had to stay in to watch Daniel. After he gets up from a nap we're supposed to color easter eggs, so I'm not sure if I'll get out before dinner. At a minimum I'm going to the gym after church. I'll drive separately from Erik and Daniel if I have to! I WILL get at least 5 APs in today.

Tomorrow, since we're going to church tonight, we'll probably sleep in, and hang out until Erik has to take Daniel back to his mothers at about 5:00. I'm going to try to get in another 5+ AP tomorrow and have a 28 or less point day.

I'm really frustrated with myself for yesterday. I would consider the day a "binge". I hate when I do that. I'm not sure why. I usually try to work my cravings into the program, so I don't have one of those days, but for some reason I just felt like I wanted to eat all the things I've been giving up yesterday. I didn't drink all that much - I guess I get my alcohol cravings satisfied on my thursday nights after WI when I get Erik to be DD. But food-wise, I just over-did it.

But - I know I can get past it. Tomorrow's weight will be very telling as to whether this week can be a success. I'm at 214.6. I got as low as 211.8 just after the new year, and I'm hoping to surpass that in April. I've set myself a goal of 5lbs in April. That would put me out of the 210's.

Here's hoping.
