Weight Watchers Weekly Check In [Week 8]

Ever feel as if you’re continuously running in one of those hamster wheels while someone stares at you?

Well that’s how I’m starting to feel about Weight Watchers. I’m two months in and my progress is slow, real slow. I feel as if I’m running in place not really making any actual progress or losing any real weight. Here I am 8 weeks in down right at 5 pounds and I keep flip flopping back and forth on a pound…

I lose it. I gain it. I increase my activity, watch everything I put into my mouth, track like a mad woman and I lose the pound. Then I travel for work, lose control over most of my food options, and I gain it right back.

Which some would say after traveling as much as I have that only gaining a pound would be amazing, but it’s still gaining. The point of Weight Watchers is to lose weight. I’m paying to lose weight. I wake up early on Saturday mornings to weigh in to lose weight. I track every bite to lose weight.

So it’s hard to get off track for a week (or two in my case) and to see a gain on the scale. It’s frustrating, but in reality I’m frustrated with myself.

I’m the one who has control over my progress, my food choices and so on… So, I’m the one that is sabotaging myself. I know it. But it’s still frustrating.

Watch this week’s video online or below:

This week after being gone for an entire week at a conference in a hotel I gain 1.4 pounds.

My goals for next week? Do better.

Simple as that. I’ll be traveling again, this time to New Orleans for a conference and my whole family will be coming. It’s going to be harder and yet, I want to see a loss when I step on the scale on Saturday.

I can do it. You can do it. We can do it.
