Week 34  Weight lost this week: –1 Weight loss in total 26 lbs

Finally a loss! I’m not feeling the Weight Watcher’s love in 2012 with all of these gains!  LOL, yes I’m blaming Weight Watcher’s for my gain and not my complete and total lack of willpower!  My mom left today and although we were both eating well we did do a lot of baking so this will come back to haunt me I believe.  So again I’m resolving to do better. Write everything down and not finish Squidge’s meals!!

How are you all doing this week? I’m happy about my loss but like I said I need to do better! I know weight watcher’s works so time to buckle down. At the meeting this week exercise was discussed. Now I have worked out in a couple of months. I know this is bad but the lazy gene is a strong one!  This week my goal is to do something… anything! Will keep you posted!

Week 33  Weight lost this week: +1.1 Weight loss in total 25 lbs

*sigh*

Really that’s how I’m feeling about this weight loss since 2012 arrived. I was looking at my little book and it’s covered in circles (that’s how Weight Watcher’s indicate gains) and I just want to consistently lose weight and I don’t want to see any more bloody circles!!  Of course I think I know why I had a gain this week.  My mom is visiting and I ate a shed load of Portuguese sweet bread (think brioche) slathered in butter. She also made me my favorite soup  caldo funcho (fennel soup made w/ just the fennel tops) and because I can’t get fennel tops here in England I ate the shit out of that too!  Oh and lets not forget the biscuits. Ya so I know why I gained but it doesn’t mean I have to be happy about it. Still, I’m trying to not get too down. My mom hasn’t visited since Squidge was 8 months old and I don’t know when she’ll be back so I might as well enjoy my time with her and her food!!

I’m writing this on Friday morning (but back dating it) and I can say that I’ve done pretty good on Wednesday but yesterday(Thursday) I had prawns w/ spaghetti noodles, pesto and 1/2 fat creme fraiche. I didn’t weigh out my portion so lord only knows how much I ate. I did point it high and went over my daily points. Must do better today.

I’m finding that if I eat breakfast too early I get very hungry for lunch so I’m trying to wait until after 10 to each breakfast. I failed miserably today as it’s 9:20 and I’m sure I ate my porridge over an hour ago!  I’ve got some apples in the house so am hoping that will help w/ any cravings. Also I think I’m adding too much honey to my porridge and only pointing out as a 15 gram serving. Naughty! Must keep an eye on that from now on.

Another thing I’ve caught myself doing again is finishing Squidge’s food if she doesn’t eat it all. That is such a bad habit and one I thought I had broken with the help of Weight Watcher’s. DOH!

So all in all a bad week and many many things to improve. Still. Still I’ve lose 25 lbs and that’s nothing to sneeze about. Bring on the next 25 lbs!!

How are you all doing? Tell me about how well you’re doing so I know that it can be done. I need to keep the faith!!
