Womp womp...

It's that time again... weigh in! Not exactly what I wanted to see, but better than nothing, I suppose:


Starting Weight: 290.3
Last Week: 286.0
This Week: 285.8
Net Loss: - 0.2
Loss-to-Date: 4.5


See what I mean? It's tough to be upset because it WAS a loss, after all, but... meh. I should be losing more than this. So let's try to figure out where I went wrong this week: 


We ate out a bit. On Saturday, we had date night... and I am ashamed to say that neither Derek or myself can remember what we actually did. I'm almost positive it involved eating out, though. On Sunday we drove down to Fredericksburg to meet up with one of my bridesmaids and best friends, Bekah. We intended to go to Hobby Lobby but forgot they're closed on Sundays, so we ended up just doing lunch... at Buffalo Wild Wings. I know, I know, what the hell was I thinking? I was thinking that I could loosen the reigns a little and have some fun, and just spend the rest of the week getting on track. On Monday night, we had a triple date with Amanda and her hubby, and another bridesmaid, Sara, and her hubby, at our local hibachi restaurant. Derek and I split a spicy salmon roll (sushi) and I got steamed rice and the hibachi vegetables (which I didn't even manage to eat half of -- they give you a LOT of vegetables!). I'm sure there was a lot of oil and stuff involved in this so despite being veggies I'm sure it wasn't awesome. (I have a really hard time saying no to yum-yum sauce!)

The rest of the week went as normal -- we made lunches, we cooked dinners. We had a mixup in our meal plan and had Friday's dinner on Thursday, which led us to not have meat thawed for Friday's dinner. We gave ourselves two options: go out to the store and pick up some meat to cook, or order in. Well, due to some sort of miracle willpower, I put my foot down and decided we weren't going to order in. But... it was snowing! Who in their right mind would go out in this on purpose!? So, we raided the fridge and freezer instead and found some stuffed sole fillets and baked potatoes we purchased with a Groupon deal from Omaha Steaks once upon a time. Throw in a bag of broccoli and we had ourselves a meal! (Side note: the fish was gross and the potatoes were weird -- though Derek liked them -- so I didn't eat all of either of them. Just my broccoli!)

So... I guess the bottom line is that I more or less know where I went wrong. I essentially did an okay job of righting the wrongs from earlier in the week, but could've done better. I'll know better this week! :)

  1. It's all part of the process - learning what your pitfalls are so you can avoid them. And you're right - it's negative, so it counts! Good for you!
