Another Week Come and Gone

I completed this week feeling pretty good about myself. I had excercised multiple times and followed my points. So when I went to my meeting and weighed in I was slightly dissapointed in my .4 loss. Yes, it was a loss, but where did I go wrong? What could I have done differently?

So there I sat contemplating my actions on the previous week. I did a good job. Could I have eaten slightly better? Yes, probably. More veggies and fruits the next week. Could I have excercised more? Of course; one or two more days at the gym won't kill me and I'll put it on my to do list for this upcoming week. So where did I go wrong? Then, it dawned on me. I'm going home to see my family next friday and I was hoping to lose 5 lbs in two weeks. You can't rush the weight loss process. Everyone loses at different rates and no one has any control of how much they lose and how fast they lose it. All you can do is follow the program. Stick to it and you will get the results you want. What was I so sad and angry about? I still lost!!!! I shouldn't care if it's .4 or 12.6 as long as that scale goes down I have no right to complain.

Now, what can I do about this for next week? I don't want another .4 week so I needed a game plan. This is a technique I would suggest for everyone who is trying to lose weight. Set weekly goals for yourself and make sure you meet them 100%.
My weekly goals:
1. Eat at least one fruit and veggie at lunch and dinner.
2. Try to work out every day.
3. Try not to use my extra weekly points.
If I can follow these simple goals then hopefully this week will be a bigger jump down on the scale!

What does this mean to you? Let this process take its natural course. You can't rush it all you can do is work your hardest and hope you get the results you want. If you are doing your best and following the rules then the results WILL come in their own time.
