Okay, so one week of Weight Watchers is over! I was VERY strict Monday-Saturday until dinner on Saturday night. We impulsively decided to take the kids out to Red Robin after a day at the Cranberry Festival. So of course, I had to get a bleu cheeseburger and fries (and ranch dressing to dip them in).
Then on Sunday, I was good again until dinner. This time it was a planned deviation from the diet because it was Phil's birthday and we went to The Melting Pot. A great fondue restaurant, where we had a romantic 4 course meal. It was lovely, but seriously expensive!!
Anyway, it's a new week, and I am back on track. I'm not going to be one of those people that never cheats on a diet. Life is supposed to be fun, and as long as I'm being good about 90% of the time, and exercising everyday, I'll probably continue to have 2 meals a week where I don't count my points.
So now for the results: I lost 3.2 pounds!!
Yeah!! Only 14 more pounds to go until I'm back to my pre-children weight :)
***UPDATE***
Amber, who hosts Extreme Makeover, Me Edition (click the button at the top) has just suffered a miscarriage...again. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.
well done. 3.2 pounds is a great achievement.
ReplyDeleteWoot-woot! You go Mama!! That's great results. Only 14 more to go, that's not bad either.
ReplyDeleteBut really, you look quite fit/thin, are you sure you aren't already pre-baby weight?? :) Way to go and keep up the good work!
Good Job!
ReplyDeleteOk, so you went to Red Robbin and Melting Pot and still lost more weight than me! What am I doing wrong! This week better be better!! I guess I need to get some tips from you...
Yeah! I find that even if I cheat one day a week a little bit I still will lose weight with weight watchers if I'm super strict the other 6 days! Great job...even with your cheats!
ReplyDeleteGood for you Colleen. I agree, life is supposed to be fun, eat some good stuff now and then!!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! 3 pounds in a week is wonderful!!! And I agree, you cannot stick to a strict diet all the time. What fun would that be?
ReplyDeletehey, i think that what you did lose is wonderful... and yep, i agree, we all gotta cheat just a little sometimes!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! And I'm with you - you've got to enjoy yourself!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! I just weighed myself and I'm embarrassed to report that I need to lose 40 lbs. but I'm just not ready to start.
ReplyDeleteEating (mostly) well and exercising is the key...Great work this week, and I wish you luck in the next week! :)
ReplyDeleteHa! Had to come here and comment re: your comment on my blog ;) No, hubby rarely, if ever, joins in on our fun outtings. Oh how we've begged for him to come along. He actually has a very flexible and friendly schedule, but, while I love him dearly, he'd rather leave that "stuff" up to me. I know he'd have fun if he made time for it, but he is a little 'old school' in the parenting department. He definitely believes all parenting responsibilities {besides financial responsibilities} belong to me because I stay at home. It really used to bother me, but now I've grown accustomed to it :)
ReplyDelete*Sorry for the hijack!
So nice to meet you. I came across your photo. I have a book called Mothers Manual that I love with this photo of the blessed mother holding baby Jesus. I love this book~
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! You are brave to be dieting. May God give you strength and strong will to keep going with your diet until where you want to be. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Have you seen this? It's good for meditation.
