My week was not good as explained in my previous posts and walking into my meeting I was seriously just hoping that I would lose something, anything. My husband told me to lose my purse hardeeharhar.
I lost 0.2 pounds.
And was okay with it. Then I started thinking that even if I only lost 0.2 pounds every week from now until whenever at least I would be moving towards my goal instead of away from it. And then I gave myself a mental slap and said "CUT IT OUT!" This challenge is about getting as close to the goal as possible with hard core work for a short period of time.
I took a look at my eating and realized that I am eating a ton of my points through the day and ending up with 4 or 5 points for dinner and an evening snack. Meaning I was using WPA points in the evening. So I decided that 8 points would be a good amount for dinner and evening snack. Subtracted breakfast points and lunch points and had 7 points left over for snacks through the day. Now I only bring that many points and I don't have to worry about counting anything except dinner. Such a weight off my shoulders and it's working well so far. I'm hoping for a good week, Thanksgiving and all!!

Sounds like you have a great plan. Clever idea to work backward from dinner.
Keep up the great work (remember a loss is a loss!)
First: every ounce lost is a step towards your goal. Good stuff.
Second: you analyzed your situation to see where you could improve. Smart thinking.
Way to go!
I love the pun:
Such a weight off my shoulders and it's working well so far.
and yep. you nailed it. a loss is a loss.
if I can lend a hand at all you know where to find me!
good planning and yes honey, a loss is a loss. But if you can see how you can make better choices to have more significant results (not just scale results) GOOD ON YA!!
you are doing great!!

YES a loss is a loss and it is in the right direction so good for you. Now take the good things that you did this week and oh say times it by 2 and you should see a better loss next week!
Hey, no offense taken from your comment at all. Tough love baby! It's completely different coming from you or any other blogger - totally and completely different becasue you get it - MIL doesn't. MIL is passive aggressive and impossible and you feel like you have to walk on eggshells around her and I'm at my wits end and I have 2 more weeks of her staying until her house is ready. I think I'm going to lose my mind! Frig.
