Weigh-In Wednesday

Well, the week has been both good and bad weight, nutrition and activity-wise. The goodbadnews is that Sunday I had a sprint triathlon and it was me revisiting my first one from last year! It’s good because hooray! I beat my time from last year! It’s bad because I am up the two pounds I usually gain after a triathlon. Happens every time. And I’m not even sure it’ll go away this time because I literally ate everything I could get my face on afterward. I don’t know what it was. The famishedness afterward, I mean literally, I ravaged through tacos and pizza like I had been on a 30-day hunger strike!

The dinner situation at my house is good, I have been cooking out of a new cookbook I just got and I have been trying out new healthy dinner recipes. The rest of the day, well, I think lunch has been the biggest culprit. Because we spend the whole morning at the pool for  swim lessons, and then we’ve been known to drive through somewhere afterward. Although I have been trying to only do that once a week, in reality it has been a little more depending on what else we have going on that day. Not a great example, I know. It’s all about the choices. And Mommy’s been a #momfail for that one.

However, we have been eating LOTS of fruit and healthy snacks. So there is some good going on here.  See? It’s all a great big give and take.

Anyway, I’ll sum it up right here: I am between training plans, which is SCREWING ME! To tell you the honest truth. I feel like I’m flailing around with no direction, but what I really need to do is sit down, hammer out my training plan and get back on Weight Watchers so I am logging my food and that’s that!

So  that’s my “project” for this week. By this time next Wednesday, I will have a renewed motivation because I will be on a plan and I will have lost that two pounds of tacos I ate. The end. Hold me to it. Please?

    Well, I GAINED .5 lbs. I just completed the first week of South Beach Phase II and I didn't cheat one time. A good friend and gym buddy believes the re-introduction of carbs caused me to hang on to fluid. Even though I gained the smidge, my clothes continue to fit better. I am not discouraged and am going to continue my “100 Days on the Beach” experiment.Today is Day 22.

    Oh, I know what you mean about the swimming lessons! For my girls (who just finished school on Monday because we're Canadians and that's how we roll) the lessons were after school this year, which means suppers for two straight weeks were convenience foods, drive-thrus, and snacks! Terrible. Even *I* get sick of those meals after a while!!

    I hear ya with the “flailing around.” I feel really aimless sometimes, too. I'm trying to go the “just cutting back” route and it's not going too badly, but I often think having an actual PLAN to follow would be easier. And for me, it would be….

    ….but I would never stick with it for the rest of my life. I need something I won't quit after a couple of months because I'm sick and tired of planning, calculating, and denying. As ambiguous as it sounds, MODERATION really is the key!!!!

    It is true, I agree with you on moderation!! Even while I'm on plan, I don't completely give up anything. I can't. I am one of those people that when you tell them not to do it, they do it double! hahaha! so i can't tell myself i'm giving anything up, i just have to cut back. which works for a while, but sometimes getting on plan gives me a good swift kick in the rear to get my head back in the game. :p

    Get hammering lady! You'll figure something out, do what feels right. No worries, you are an athlete and your body needed a little more stuff after you rocked that tri. At least you are getting your F&V's in…that is huge and one of my weakspots!

    Those drive-thrus are evil. Good luck with your planning! Congrats on beating your previous time!

    you bettcha! don't forget that marathon training starts in September, so you've just got a couple months to fill w/o a plan.

  • reneeakacutiebootycakes

    Well, I think you are doing great, really! A sprint marathon and you did better than last year, way to go! The training plan will help I'm sure, I look forward to hearing all about it.
