This Week's Weight Watchers Weigh In

I have a love-hate relationship with Weight Watchers, which I imagine most of us do. You love losing weight and being in control, but when one little thing throws you off – you hate it. You see, during the summer I travel a lot for work. I’ve had back-to-back conferences the past two weeks, which makes it extra hard to have control over my eating. But that’s life. I don’t live in a bubble, but when you feel the pain from tracking the pizza that was offered at lunch and know your dinner is going to be just as bad, it can be tiring.

But I’m home! And that means getting back to a good, simple routine. I can start preparing all of my foods, tracking every bite because I know how it’s made and what ingredients were used. Traveling is never easy. Last week during my post, I was feeling very defeated. I felt like I had been flip-flopping the same few pounds for weeks now (and I’ve just re-joined 2 months ago!). I had some amazing people leave me comments on last week’s video, send me DMs and leave comments over on Instagram – THANK YOU! – It was what I needed. When so many women tell you to trust the process and stick with it then you know it’s coming from experience. So here I am, back at it.

It’s week 9 and my weigh in went as expected. I was up a bit (not even a pound!), but I knew after traveling to New Orleans and sitting in conference all week that was going to happen. I was actually happy that my gain was so minimal! I walked out of my weekly meeting feeling renewed and motivated.

I have a plan for this next week and it’s going to work!

This post might be a bit weird in tense – you see, I weigh in on Saturday’s, but my post and video usually doesn’t go live until the next Friday (#momlife). So I usually write the first part of my blog post right after I weigh in and then as I start talking about my goals it feels weird talking about the future when I know this isn’t going to go live until after the week…. so I apologize if my present tense, past tense and all that good stuff seems a bit off. Just roll with it!

What I’m most excited is this week is a holiday week – I’m writing this before the 4th of July. I am off work starting on Wednesday, so we’ll spend time playing inside since it’s so hot, but we’ll also head to my parents’ pool to get in some more exercise. Want to know my biggest secret to my activity this week?

Well if you’ve been watching my Instagram Stories then you know we’ve been potty training our little guy. So there has been no sitting, no resting and no lounging around. We’ve been up, working to make it to the potty on time, getting up at night, cleaning messes and chasing a toddler around who’s trying to give his reward to the dogs. It’s been a busy past few days at our house, but he’s getting the hang of it and mom’s building her leg muscles from getting up and down off the floor all week!
