So January 1, 2017 I started Weight Watchers again. And here it is, Jan 30, and I've FAILED this month. I was not honest with the program. Did I have some good days? Sure. But the bad days outweighed the good.
What I'm trying to wrap my brain around is why do I keep doing this to myself? I KNOW what to do. I know how to make a meal plan. I know how to do macros. I know how to count calories. I know how to figure out how many calories/macros a person should consume in a day. I know how to do Weight Watchers. I LOVE to workout and know how to lift weights, run, etc. I'm setting myself up to be successful. I bought another subscription to emeals-which is a meal planning company that sends you weekly meal plans based on your nutrition goals. I know websites to visit for healthy options for meals (my favorites are www.skinnytaste.com, www.emilybites.com, and www.drizzlemeskinny.com). I meal prep my breakfasts, lunches, and snacks for the entire week to bring to work. I pre-track my food in my tracker (right now it's in Weight Watchers) the day before. I work out 5-6 days a week.
SEE? I KNOW what to do.
I'm going through the motions-but then I'm sabotaging myself. I get to the point in the afternoon where I binge-and then I've ruined everything-at least I tell myself that. Then I convince myself that I've already done the damage, so I might as well keep going because I've already ruined the day. I'll start again tomorrow morning, I tell myself.
Things that have been helpful and motivating to me are www.runsforcookies.com-I LOVE her! She is honest and motivating. I also like www.halfsizeme.com and her podcasts, because she explains how you need to beat the emotional stuff before you can lose the weight.
I want this to be for a LIFETIME. I want to FEEL better. I want to divert any health problems in my future-because I have so many now. I'm hoping writing will help me. The good, the bad, the ugly.
My goals this week are:
*To workout each day: Tues-run, Wed-arms in the gym, Thurs-run, Fri-legs in the gym, Sat-run.
*Track in the WW app HONESTLY and stay within my points.
My weigh in days right now are Sat mornings. I did NOT do well over the weekend (and I actually usually do).
But today is Monday and my food is already tracked for today and I have all my food prepped and planned for the week.
I.can.do.this!
