I usually write about Weight Watchers on Wednesday nights. It helps me stay on track when I think about the meeting. The topic of the meeting on Saturday was about eating at restaurants. Everyone shared their tips and tricks for eating out, like checking out a restaurants menu online before you go so you can make a good choice. If the restaurant isn't online, finding a food similar to what you had in the tracker and using the highest point value if in doubt. I didn't have any "aha" moments from this meeting. I didn't hear anything that I hadn't heard before.
Going to the meetings is good for me. I enjoy hearing about what is working for other people. I also like to hear when people talk about when they don't do as well. Everyone is supportive and both of the groups that meet on Saturdays are fun. Whether I go to the 8:00 or 10:00 meeting depends on whether I go to the gym or if I have other stuff going on that day.
This week hasn't been going very well, WW-wise. What I mean is that I haven't been doing a good job of planning and tracking, so I haven't been making very good food choices. On Monday I was in a day-long meeting for work and today is Valentine's Day and we had our famous "Dip Day" to celebrate at work. On Monday I stayed away from all the snacks and stuck with protein at lunch, but today I got right after the dips. (Delicious, by the way.)
My goal for this week is to maintain my weight from last Saturday. I went to the gym on Monday and Tuesday, and I'll go tomorrow night also. I've got a couple of days to pull it together and make good choices, so I think I'll be all right. Some weeks everything goes great and other weeks are life doing its thing and you just go with the flow. It's all good.
Progress, not perfection is the motto.
I do have a medium-range goal that I'll share: I would like to lose ten lbs by June 1. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
