Staying the Course

 I have been meaning to write all week long.  Seriously, I kept telling myself that I was going to write and talk about my week 4 weigh in.  I kept saying that it was going to happen 'today'.  Yet each day I would find myself laying in bed at night with no update having been made.  So here I find myself ready to report on my week 5 of my current journey with Weight Watchers.

Weight Watchers Weigh in Week 4

My weigh in for week four was not what I wanted to report. I showed a half pound gain.  Well technically it was a shade over a half pound.  I gained 0.6 pounds.  Gained!  REALLY?   How was that so?  I looked at what I had done.  I saw one or two things that I could tweak but for the most part I was on target.  I vowed that I would NOT give up!  I was going to trust the process and keep going.  So onward into Week 5 I marched.   

Weight Watchers Weigh in Week 5

I was honestly worried about week 5.  It started with Easter Sunday.  We went to my in-laws for the day.  I tried to eat wisely, but admittedly, I ate more than I should have/wanted to.  That started my week off rough.  Throughout the week  I had a few nibbles on homemade peanut butter eggs that my mother in law gave to us.  Not perfect, but I felt like I was still in line.  Other than that first day of my weight watchers week I was in line with my points (and the corresponding calories, which I can also see on the WW app).  I was hopeful, but worried after the gain the week before.  

Sadly, I showed a 0.3 pound gain for week 5!    ARRRGGGHHHH    I'm nearing 1 pound gained as a total over the last two weeks!  This is NOT cool!   

Not Giving UP

I am NOT giving up.   I am determined to keep everything in line and keep tweaking until I figure out what works for me.   Weight watchers is recommending over 120g of protein for me.  I have long struggled with even getting 60-70g of protein (which is what myfitnesspal usually recommends).  So my focus this week is protein, protein, protein.  

 I can do this!!!!
