Weight Loss Update: Nov 16 to 26

We are currently under a snowfall warning and are expected to get 20 to 30 cm of snow, staring sometime tonight and continuing through Friday evening.  Then after the snow comes a rush of Arctic air and cold temperatures.  Good thing I already bought snow pants to wear on my travels to work.

That -0.2 pounds at WW was not expected since my home scale had me up 0.6.  It just goes to show that I should stop weighing myself so much at home and trust the calibrated scales at WW.  I will take a 0.2 loss any day.

Now, based on that silly home scale, I am down almost 2 pounds, and it is only Wednesday.  I just want to see a loss of at least 1 pound at WW this Saturday.  That will mean a weight loss streak of 5 weeks.  I can't remember the last time I lost weight 5 weeks in a row.

The reasons behind this weight loss are not rocket science.  I ate relatively healthy this past Saturday and stuck to my WW points on Sunday.  It didn't kill me and I still had a small treat of a 1/2 cup of ice cream.  I also had a delicious coconut curry chicken soup for dinner with garlic bread and chicken wings.  Roughly it was under my 49 extra points for the week.

I can do this.  This way I will feel much better about a small gain over the holidays.  I will also be able to keep that gain small as I will have a plan in place to eat well most of the time over the two weeks.

Weight Loss Update: November 1 to 15

I can't believe that it is already less than two weeks until December.  This time next month I will be getting ready to get on the plane to Victoria where I will spend two whole weeks.

As you can see, I have been doing really well over the past few weeks.  I am not sure I will see a loss at WW this week as I may have indulged in too many pieces of banana bread on Sunday after Chinese food on Saturday.

No worries, I just need to make healthy choices this weekend and keep going.  I know that I will probably see a gain after I get back from holidays in Victoria, so I want to do well before I leave.

I am super proud that I am down over 65 pounds since 2012 and 80 from my highest weight.  Those are awesome accomplishments !!
