End of Week 1

Another successful day! Despite my clear craving of fast food after my morning classes, I came home and made myself a small bean burrito, along with a yogurt and a banana before it was time for me to pick up the kiddos at school. During the evenings, when I'm reviewing what I learned in class, I find that I often crave snacks and I was anticipating a difficult evening. I grabbed an apple and cut it into thinner slices so I could just occupy my mouth and it seems to have worked.

Oh I also walked 1.5 miles today! It was unplanned but I needed to go across campus to run an errand and a friend of mine just happened to mention also needing to go to the same building and that she was thinking of walking over so I jumped at the opportunity! It was even fun cause we were just chatting the whole walk. It only earned me 1 WWPP Activity Point but it was nice to be outside and moving.

Tomorrow is my weigh-in day which I have mixed feelings about. I'm trying to keep in mind that this was my first week and that I may need to adjust my approach to my points if I don't show any loss. I have stuck with my plan for a whole 7 days. I know I should allow myself to feel accomplished. This is longer than I have stuck to an eating plan in a long time. My main goal for tomorrow is to focus on my achievements no matter what the scale says. I really want to switch my perception that the scale is pass/fail exam for my eating plan but rather a tool to help guide my eating plan into something that works for preventing my urge to eat compulsively and weight loss as well.

Looking over my week, I can see quite a few areas open to work on. My karate school was on winter break so I didn't earn as many activity points as I would when I'm going to karate twice a week. Also, I have heard that an easy adjustment to Weight Watchers Points is not using the full weekly points, so there is another option.
