Disappointment on the Scale

Well today, as you may remember, is weigh in day. And after what I will call a more challenging week, I gained a pound.

This past week I found myself craving more snacks. I never went off the rails and over indulged, but I definitely made some less healthy choices that most likely contributed to the gain. I went to Starbucks 3 times this week. Waaaaaaay too much, even though, again, I stayed on track points wise. The 4-8 points I spent on different varieties of frappuccino could have been spent on much smarter choices. So I learned a lesson there for sure.

While I may not have lost this week, I still feel accomplished in other ways. In addition to the 30 Day Shred (Sunday was Day 24!), I went to water aerobics at the Aquatic Center 3 times, with plans to continue that pace! I really enjoyed it, and it was a major workout! I also moved up to level 2 of the 30 Day Shred on Saturday. I was shocked at how well I did on it!! If you would have told me a year ago that I'd be working out everyday (and sometimes two times a day!) without fail, I'd think you were on crack. I can't believe the changes I've made.

On a side note, my husband has also been doing great. He went from easily drinking a 2 liter of soda a day to quitting cold turkey! I'm very impressed and proud!

So, even though the scale didn't agree with me this week, I'll just have to learn from it and keep on moving along! This week my plan is to make a goal reward list for when I reach certain goals. I'll be sure to post it when I finish it!

Till next time...
