Weigh In: Zero Net Gain

So, before I weigh in each week, I think to myself, how do I feel? How did I do the previous week? How much do I think I will lose?

I felt pretty good. I'm a bit sore from exercise this week. Yesterday, I was able to fit into a vest that has been "off limits" for some time. I feel my gut is getting smaller. As for the week, I had a not so great start, off on Friday, Saturday and to a lesser extent on Sunday. Still, I had 4 straight days with an "A" rating (and met my Fuel Points 2.7K goal every day but Saturday.) So my answer was, I felt I deserved a modest 1 lb loss.

I didn't get it. I didn't lose but I also didn't gain. 

Even so, I'm not discouraged. I'm back on it this week! I can do this!

What went well last week

- I was disciplined 4 days! The other 3 days, I did have movement and made my 2.7K goal 6 of the 7 days.

- I started having more exercise in my routine, adding cardio and weight training.

- I ate my own food all but 2 meals. I ate nutritious, flavorful things which I was content with.

- I didn't drink through the week.

What I could have done better last week

- I should have only had one cheat day (not let the cheat day bleed into Friday and Sunday.)

- Even though I am eating a LOT of proteins and veggies, some of the portions were kind of big and I probably underestimated the number of points (when I work out, I get even more hungry.)

- I should have watched my portions of peanut butter (again, probably underestimated.)
