Week 47:
This week: +1.8
Total to date: -99.6 (I am NOT happy that I have slipped below the 100 pound mark!)
Week 48:
This week: -3.0
Total to date: -102.6
Week 49:
This week: +2.4
Total to date: -100.2
Week 49 was Christmas week so I wasn't surprised by the gain. I wasn't upset by it either. I enjoyed the holiday and didn't stress about counting points too much. I feel comfortable that I have got this and that I can go off plan very briefly and come back to it. And I did. I have no doubt that if I hadn't gotten back on plan it would have been more like a 5 pound gain that week!!
What did I eat to gain 2.4 pounds?
- pizza
- chicken wings
- deep fried mushrooms
- cream cheese stuffed peppers
- onion rings
- Christmas cookies
- chocolate
- breakfast casserole (our Christmas morning tradition)
- chicken fingers
- beef on weck
- cheese--LOTS of cheese!
- WINE--even more wine than cheese!
- Moscow Mules (my new favorite alcoholic drink!)
And it was all delicious! Was it worth it? Some of it was and some of it wasn't. I definitely wish I had skipped the chicken wings, deep fried mushrooms and onion rings. They were good but I felt gross after eating them. And on Christmas day I munched on snacks so much that when it was time for dinner I wasn't even hungry. Of course I ate anyway and after dinner I was STUFFED! I haven't had that feeling in a long time and I can't say that I enjoyed it.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve and it'll be another rough one! I am saving all of my points till evening and I definitely will be WAY over! But I don't care. This is a journey, not a sprint, and I believe that to be able to do this forever I need to be able to have these special "days off"....but only one day off...New Year's Day it's back to business!!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoy your NYE tomorrow!!!
