Week Nine Weight Watcher’s Results

Week 9 was vacation week and since I was mostly going to be on vacation during this week, I did not log any points for my foods.  I knew that once we got to DC, the luxury of being able to decide where we would like to eat and being able to look up the nutritional information was going to be replaced with the convenience of a tasty restaurant nearby.  I also knew that we would be walking almost every where we went and would work off some of the not so healthy options that we would come across.  With that in mind, the goal was to weight in and be at the same weight.  Well, I am sad to report that I did not meet this goal…I gained weight.  I am happy to report that I still stayed away from ‘real colas’, such as Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, etc and stuck with the diet varieties.  I did, however, have a sampling of locally brewed beers, a beer and then a mixed drink during my vacation.  I think the day that really caused the gain was Sunday, the day we headed back home.  After walking at least 6 miles on Saturday, I can say I was way too exhausted to make some really smart decisions and therefore had very unhealthy eating day.  I think the smartest choice was having chicken on my nachos and still drinking only diet beverages.  Besides the bad eating habits, I also had a hard time getting all 8 servings of water in me.  This is hard to do when you are in a city visiting many historic places where they prohibit you having beverages with you.  I can understand their reasoning and would like to see a few more water fountains with in these places.  It was a great trip and I am back on the diet in full force.  Goal for week 10: Lose all the vacation weight that I gained!

Week Eight Weight Watcher’s Results

In my post for week 7’s weight loss, I mentioned that I hit a mini goal of mine that I did not recall why it was a mini goal.  Well, it occurred to me that this mini goal was a weight that I wanted to be at before heading off for vacation.  With a food day at work during week 8, I am happy to report that I still lost weight and have surpassed my goal weight for vacation!

Week Seven Weight Watcher’s Results

Yes, I know, I have been neglecting my blog by not posting about how my weight loss journey is going.  Week 7 reported another week of the scale continuing to go down and I hit one of my mini goals.  Not really sure why getting to this weight is really a mini goal, but it is and I hit it this week!  My next goal is my 10% weight loss goal and I’m getting closer.
