Progress Report

This past week has been trying in just about every way possible. I almost did not even weigh myself this morning, as I knew I had probably gained. I felt like if I didn't go ahead and weigh I would not be 100% truthful and that is not okay with me. I woke up Wednesday morning feeling puny. I had a pretty bad burny throat and absolutely zero energy. As the week went on, instead of getting better I felt worse. There were days I really struggled to stay on Weight Watchers because I felt so bad. Overall I am pretty proud of myself. I only used about 6 of my extra weekly allowance points. I did zero exercise. I pretty much stayed in bed when I was not working. Most days I did good to get in 1,000 steps. I know that's pretty pathetic...trust me! All in all I was not looking forward to weigh in day. To my surprise I barely gained anything. In my mind I basically maintained, but technically I gained 5/10 of a pound. I can knock that off pretty easy this week...I hope.

I did not keep much of a food journal in my fitness pal this week. I will go ahead and post what I do have. Most of my diet consisted of Halls, tea, and water.

The other thing I forgot to mention is pretty early in the week...Wednesday to be exact, my microwave decided to blow. I don't cook meals every single day. Maddy is not a left over type of person, so I generally cook one or two things throughout the week. All I had on hand were frozen burrito's and a few vegetables. I've learned just how much I took my microwave for granted. Something that used to take 1 minute 30 seconds, now takes 28 minutes in the oven. I just started feeling better yesterday, however, I ended up with a migraine all day yesterday. I was so nauseous and finally remembered pickles were zero points, so I ate a pickle and drank a little of the juice. 

I did measure my waist and hips today. My waist stayed the same, but I lost half an inch off my hips. I would love to see a 3 pound weight loss this week, but that is almost unrealistic for me. The thing to remember is to keep going even when you want to give up. Have a fantastic week!
