I am a bad person. Not only did I get in trouble at my Weight watcher meeting on Thursday, I dug a deeper hole for myself Saturday. I deserve a time out. Put me in the corner and put a dunce hat on me. I'm a bad boy.
Let me start by saying, it's one of those Good News/Bad News situations. The Good News was on Thursday, Melody lost 2.4 lbs. bringing her total to 25.4 lbs. I lost 4.4 lbs last week! The Bad News was I raised a red flag when I did. My total for 6 weeks on my new life style is 34.6 lbs of me gone! The red flag came up because it worries them that I'm losing it too fast and they're afraid it's
unhealthy. I can see their concern with it. They want me to eat my points every day, and lose 2 to 3 pounds in a week. I try to eat my points everyday, but I seem to always come out short. A typical day for me would be, Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs, orange juice, and peanut butter crackers. Total points for Breakfast, 15 points. For lunch: I will eat a ham and cheese 6" sub n wheat bread with mustard, and Funyuns, and wash it down with some unsweetened tea. The meal cost me only 13 points, for break, maybe crackers again for 5. Dinner might consist of a Smart Ones meal and a can of veggies. That's usually about 10 points max for Dinner. I'll eat a apple or orange for a snack for 0 points. Break that down, I'm eating around 38 points, when I should be eating 71 points a day! The problem I'm having is, to me, 71 points is A LOT of points. In my mind, I want to lose so I'm eating healthy, because I don't like to feel stuffed anymore. To me the more I eat, the less healthy I feel. I got fat, by eating too much. Why can't I just eat healthy and exercise, and just forget about the weight? That's just a bi-product of my success. My Weight Watcher sponsor Nanci, understands where I'm coming
from, and I can see where she's coming from. They don't want me to be like one of those weight loss
shows where I can harm my body by losing it too quick. I totally get that, but in my mind, I still weigh over 400 lbs! I can go to the bathroom and I can lose 4lbs! I've eaten meals the size of small children before, why isn't hard to conceive that I can drop a few pounds in a week? Now if I was like 150 lbs. and that happened, yeah, I would be concerned, but I weigh more than some of those new smart cars that are now out in the market. For the first time in my life, I'm eating healthy and exercising! Well, sort of....
That brings up Bad News/Worse News/Good News. Nanci would Bermuda, I actually ate all my points Saturday. The Bad News is, I over ate my points. My wonderful son, Cody treated me and Melody to a Chinese Buffet for lunch. We ate way more than we should! The Worse News is we Used our logic and decided since we have already been bad, might as well be badder, and ate some pizza. I ended up eating 5 slices and a salad. I feel the guilt now, but I went about it healthier than I would've
in the past. I ate Hawaiian pizza. Canadian bacon and pineapple. So it had lean meat and fruit, with a thin crust. Add in the healthy salad, and I at least tried too do better. All in all, I went over 22 points in 1day. The most I had ever gone over in one day. Now here's the good news. We stayed active Friday and Saturday! We exercised Friday and the went to Weatherford, OK. Spent the night, got up Saturday, went and watched our son play for The Pride of the Great Southwest Marching Band. Afterwards we did our first corn maze. I can't understand that when I'm driving, I won't let mt wife give me directions, yet her I was letting her lead us through this corn maze. We saw one sign at least twice, but had a blast! On the way home and exercised some more. I rode 6 1/2 miles on my bike and did 3 sets of medicine ball crunchers! We had a blast all weekend! What will the scale say this week? I don't really care. My new life style is Active and Healthy. Make yours too!
