So this week went wayyyyy better than last week, even with the buffet after last WI (which would really be on last weeks tab anyway... oh right, I had no tab left!) and the first day that included eating out twice plus a very big cookie. I am proud to report that I have 12 WP's left and I earned 17 AP's since Thursday! My eating is starting to get sorted out as I'm really getting back into the OP swing of things and it feels good. It's not "perfect" yet as I do get hungry and stuff but I'm used to eating a lot more so I need to reshape my stomach bag a bit I think.
Anyway, really great WI was had tonight! I am down 3 lbs this week bringing my 2 week total up to 8 lbs!!! Oh my, I was so proud sitting in that meeting tonight :) On the walk home, I picked up subs from Subway for my BF and I for supper. I got home so friggin late from the meeting though! It's very different walking places than just hoping in the car and going. I got in just before 2000 (to catch the Biggest Loser!) and after finishing my sub, was considering dipping into those extra points I had left over from the week as I had already planned out the perfect OP day as a treat/reward to myself. I always used to do this the last few times I have been OP... well actually, just after WI's I wouldn't count Tuesday night. Not a great idea but I am the girl who rewarded herself with food, old habits die hard.
Well, boy am I ever glad I did not do it. I hopped on Facebook for a minute and got a message from a good friend from highschool who lives in Ottawa for school now (the girl who's grad show I went to see the last weekend I was in Ottawa) inviting the good ol' highschool gang out for breakfast on Friday as she will be in town for only like 2 days and of course she wants to see everyone. Great! We're going to the Irving Truck Stop restaurant for breakfast. What is the problem with that you may ask? The portions are huge, the food is unhealthy (like seriously, they don't serve fruit) and I can't remember what's on the menu because I haven't been there in a pretty long time... Well thats a lie, but the last time I was there it was a late dinner that involved poutine and wasn't exactly scoping out the menu for healthy choices. And local greasy spoons don't really list their menu's online either.
So what am I going to do? PANIC?!?! Nah, I'm hoping I can manage with the bit of a plan that I have slapped together in the last hour. So here's the plan, I'll just keep all my WP's for Friday and earn more AP's. The old me would have waved the white flag high up in the air and just dived into the oversized pancakes with tons of "table syrup" (I told you I am a carb-o-holic, see? Pancakes turn my crank :P) and then instantly felt regret and beat myself up for it for days. I am going to do my research and try to figure out points for a variety of things that I can kind of expect so I am armed to the best of my ability. I'm also considering biking to the restaurant (if I can ever find my Gee Dee bike lock!) so I don't overindulge, it'd just help. So thats my game plan... suggestions, comments and advise are welcomed and encouraged!
I also got my bike repaired this week. Hopefully I can use it to get some more activity points, but I just used it today to travel from my mechanic's garage and back and wow, am I out of shape with that too. Like come on! I'm too out of shape to bike? I know I've just got to build myself up like I did with the walking and not give up but COME ON! SERIOUSLY?!?! My lack of ability totally frustrates me. Like I said, I earned 17 AP's this week with walking from Thursday to Tuesday (with the exception of the time I needed to call my mom because of the T-storm). I'm hoping to walk everyday, which would earn me 21 AP's, and then I would like to add in some biking... but I'm not sure how much would be realistic for me. Maybe 10 AP's in the week? I'll figure it out and maybe announce it in my next YouTube video. Anyway, that's enough for me tonight!
