Weight Watchers - Week 5

Another week down. Has it really been over a month since starting Weight Watchers?

Last weeks goal was to go on a walk 3x and drink 24 oz of water a day. I didn't walk at all this week. Connor was very sick (104.6 fever kind of sick) so we stayed home. He's much better today, just a nasty lingering cough. I also didn't drink water everyday but I definitely drank more than I did last week. So that's a step in the right direction, right? Right!

Start Date:  Jan. 5, 2012
Starting Weight: 198

Today's Date: Feb. 9, 2012
Current Weight: 189.6

Week 5 = Maintained last weeks weight.
Total Loss =  0 

Although I would have loved to lose weight this week I wasn't expecting a loss. Even though I stayed within my points plus allowance, I made poor choices. I was PMSing (sorry TMI) so I had major cravings for junk food and I let myself have it. I have said from the start that this is not a diet and I will not restrict myself from the things I want. If I do that, I will fail. I just try to make healthy choices and eat healthy proportions. 

The fact that I ate like crap, thanks a lot hormones maintained my current weight and did not gain, is success in my eyes. 

Next week (which starts tomorrow) is a whole new week and I'm all in! Our Brand.Spanking.New 24HourFitness opens on Saturday and I can't wait to start working out on Monday!

Note: My Daily Point Limit is now 31 points down from 32 because I've lost 8.4 pounds. You also get an additional 49 points a week to use however you want (a little everyday, all at once, or not at all). You also earn points for the activity that you do. 

 Day 1: Used 38 points. (Used 7 of my 49 extra) 

Day 2: Used 28 points. (3 points remaining)
 
Day 3: Used 31 points. (0 points remaining)
 
Day 4: Used 32 points. (Used 1 of my 49 extra)
 
Day 5: Use 32 points. (Used 1 of my 49 extra)
 
Day 6: Used 31 points. (0 points remaining)
 
 Day 7: Used 38 points. (Used 7 of my 49 extra)

49 Extra Weekly Points Used: 16
Activity Points Earned: 0 <--- That's disappointing
  
 Week 6 Goal:
Try to drink more water a day. Go to the gym 2x this week.


PS. Thank goodness I didn't have to move a rock from my 'Pounds Lost' jar back to my 'Pounds to Lose' jar, THAT would have been depressing.

I love these updates! And you're right -- making healthy choices is the ultimate goal, and what fun would life be if you always had to deny yourself?
