Weigh in, gained .6 lb
Quote from the Weight Watchers website after I recorded my gain, "Look back at this week and see what you might be able to change; then let go of what you can't. The best thing to do is focus on is making this coming week a success."
I know that there are 3 reasons for my gain this week. First reason is food related--I went to Maggiano's for dinner on Friday night to celebrate my baby's first birthday and I ate freely in the spirit of celebration. Then on Saturday I had a piece of birthday cake. Second reason is exercise related--when I discovered my neighborhood gym was closed on President's Day, I decided to go for a jog instead of driving to Lifetime. I am still terribly sore, but proud at the same time for actually being able to jog for almost 45 minutes without feeling like I was going to die. Third reason has to do with starting the weaning process. I need to wrap my head around the fact that I will no longer have this calorie buffer from breastfeeding.
I've been thinking about that quote, and the thing is that I don't think I could have changed any of my reasons for my gain this week, so I need to let it go and concentrate on next week.
Having said that, I have to admit that I am a little bummed by my gain this week. I stayed after my WW meeting today and talked with my leader for a few minutes. We came up with a plan and I think it will get me back on track. It has been no secret that I haven't tracked points. I should be eliminating my final feeding around March 9th and the plan is to start tracking my new allocation of points (after subtracting my breastfeeding points) and re-learn appropriate portions to kick start my weight loss again.
