The week in summary and week 5 results

I'm in full on study mode now. I'm probably not going to be around as much as I want to be until after June 5th now due to my upcoming licencing exam and graduation, so my most sincere apologies in advance.

This week on WW was the most challenging yet. In previous attempts on WW, this kind of week would have sent me spiralling off plan so fast it would make your head spin! I will tell you now, I wasn't perfect by any means but I didn't end up being completely upset with myself at the end of the week and blowing off WW. I had a gain this week, which was expected. It was only a small gain of 0.5 lbs so I can handle it, usually if I gained 1 lb I'd be throwing it all out the window and going back to my unhealthy ways, I'm proud that I haven't caved... yet. So here I am at 250.5 lbs again, I need to shake out of these 250's!!!

So this past week I had a couple things on my calander. I went to a RNAO murder mystery dinner in celebration of Nurses week, where I was a character. The murder mystery was super fun, apparently if you play the part of the woman that obsessed over the person who died you are very high on the suspect list. Unfortunately, I ran into a buffet there which was just awful because I hardly ate anything that day due to random stupid figthing with my BF (no worries, we're all good now!). So I consumed 2 large pieces of very cheesy eggplant lasagna, a piece of chicken with cheese on it (I think it was going for a chicken parm look), potato wedges, some veggies, a bowl of soup, a small salad, like 5 small dinner rolls, and a small piece of cake. So pretty much used all the DP's and WP's there but the over consumption for the week didn't end there! URGH! Well when I got home from that, I was extremely nauseated and even vomitted a bit.

So I just stopped tracking too on Sunday. Sunday also included a lovely BBQ over at my BF's sister's new house and I was prepared for that... but then we started playing board games and the bowls of chips came out. I probably consumed half a bag of sun chips and I even ate some all dressed chips... but I don't like all dressed! WHY! Wasn't pleased with myself there either but it happend. I tried to get back on to tracking on Monday but I stopped half way through the day and didn't pick it back up until the new week started, though I tried to be mindful of what I was eating.

I was studying Monday night and the munchies set in... I have a big problem of mindlessly eating while under high stress in study mode. In the past when studying for exams, I could easily go through many snacks. It was kind of ridiculous how much I could pack away while studying, I never actually noticed. I started my old ritual then since I was studying at home and the fridge was literally 5 feet away from me. Ate all sorts of things I really didn't need and probably made WI that much worse...

So here I am, at a new week. Already know whats in store for me challenge wise as I need to study as much as humanly possible and we're burying my Poppa on saturday (he died when the ground was still frozen so they delay burials until spring here). High stress and emotions + food available = Challenge!

Also wanted to mention that I had my phone interview with Hamilton Health Sciences yesterday and I'll try to blog about that later. Must get my day started so I can study until the bitter end!
