Back On Track!

Seeing a -5.7 on the scale might be the very best way to start the week! Especially after seeing +0.2 on the scale last week.

This past week I did one night of Just Dance 2 on the Wii and I also walked for 3 hours around the property I manage for on Saturday. Every floor (5 or 6) and stairwell in every building (we have 7). So that was a great workout even though I wasn't sweating through it, my muscles were getting a great workout and my thighs were feeling the burn all day yesterday. I used a good portion of my extra weekly Weight Watchers points because I went over my daily totals a few times but for the week as whole, I stayed on track.

Other exciting news is that my bigger jeans, that I have been wearing exclusively for a while now are too big. I can slide them off without undoing them. Even if they are fresh out of the dryer! The next size down is a little tight but wearable so that is also a reason to be celebrating this morning.

As most of you know, the Superbowl is this weekend! I don't love either of the teams but I do love watching the game and awesome commercials with my friends. I also love all of the super delicious snacks that are consumed on Superbowl Sunday. I don't want to deny myself some of the tasty treats but I also don't want to gain 5 pounds in one day. This year I am going to have to practice major eating in moderation, which I am horrible at. I have a problem with leaving food on my plate. It's almost like I don't feel satisfied until all of the food on my plate is gone. Even if I am super full I will still keep eating. I know what you are thinking: Why don't you just get smaller portions? Great question! I don't have an answer for you but it us something I am going to really start focusing on this week. Watching my portions and paying more attention to my body when I am eating so I stop when I feel full and not when my plate is empty.

What do you do to not over eat at every meal? Do you leave stuff on your plate or are you starting with smaller portions when you sit down for a meal? I need any and all advice to get over this!
