Pink Ritas and Lip Gloss

I can’t believe I forgot to post this yesterday! I just finished Week 6 of my Weight Watchers lifestyle change (ie diet). I can tell you its getting harder and easier at the same time. Let me explain. One of the hardest things for me to incorporate into this lifestyle change is getting in the right amount of fruits, veggies, and water. By week 6 of this diet you are eating so much of those items that you don’t have any issues meeting the recommended servings. What I do start having problems with is staying on track.

By the beginning of Week 6 I had lost 5 pounds. I was super excited but then I got a little cocky diet wise. I started thinking well I’m doing everything right and losing weight so I don’t need to monitor my food intake. I also can skip the gym tonight if I just stick to my points. Not a good attitude to have with oneself. Sorta like self sabotage. So I tried really hard this week to overcome that. Monday - Friday absolutely no problems. Hit the gym, ate healthy, tracked my food intake. By Saturday though I was getting bored with my set menu and cranky. Mike and I turned in our Free night card and headed to Wendy’s for my favorite meal - jr. bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a frosty (for dipping the fries). So no point counting then nor on Sunday when Mike and I turned in the card again to unwind after his CPA exam test.

So this week I’m aiming to start tracking points again (and correctly) as well as going back to the gym. I have roughly 5 months before our vacation and I would like to be at least the same size I was 2 years ago if not a tad smaller so my capris don’t suffocate me. We are continuing our meal plan and are finishing up the pork tenderloin and will move onto pork chops tomorrow. I’m super excited over that one.

So as of the end of Week 6 I have lost another pound bringing the total to 6 pounds in 6 weeks!
