Day 8: Weigh in Day, Week 1

Your current weight :	199 lbs
Weight change since your last recorded weight |	+1.6 lbs
Total weight change to date |	+1.6 lbs

So, as you might have expected, the combination of TOM and learning the ropes and not following the plan to a "T" lead to a gain...big surprise. I'm okay with it I guess because I did give myself this first week to learn the plan (which I think I have) and the first few days, I went to the meeting but I wasn't mentally committed to start? You know what I mean, don't you? The whole...today is gone so I'll start tomm mentality? Well, its evil let me tell you and non productive. But I'm fessing up, I'm starting over and I'm taking control. Let me tell you, this is a big step for this girl! I'm usually my own worst critic (aren't we all?) and I tend to be really hard on myself when I "fail" so the fact that I'm moving on and making a commitment to NOT DWELL on it is big.

Some things learned this week?

• Don't throw away the day; more often than not your mistakes of the morning/afternoon can be redeemed by midnight if you TAKE CONTROL AT THE MOMENT.
• Stick to the plan to a "T." There is no other way, the scale shows and it doesn't lie so if you are going to do it, do it right and do it all the way.
• AP points are your eat more ticket! Use it/them :)
  

Okay, so I'm starting fresh and I'm determined to post a big loss next week and I'm going to be working my butt off trying to do so; so cheer me on and most importantly cheer yourself on when you achieve the small wins! This is a marathon, not a sprint so every step is one step closer to goal!

I did go over points today but it was technically a yesterday mistake...I ate a late night snack of 12 points (eek!) and I had to add it into today-- I figure this way I'm atleast fessing up and moving on instead of dwelling on it and then allowing that eating to disappear into oblivion. This way, its on the charts, its there for me and the world to see. You can't attack your weaknesses if you keep ignoring them right?

I'll be back after dinner to post the final food journal for the day. No gym again today but I did run errands all day so there was some movement!
