Poor Planning and good planning - long
The last 2 days have been a little out of control, but tried to make the
best choices I could. Soccer tornament for daughter.... didn't plan an all day away from home trip. Then we spent Sunday with friends we don't get to see often, because we've all got kids in Select soccer and on different teams this year. I knew it would be hard to stay on plan with them. When I didn't have the chicken wings and ate celery instead they tried pushing them on me and I made a great excuse... if I eat the wings I won't have room for pizza. I had planned to have 2 slices of pizza and I did. Afterwards, we all went to Dairy Queen. I told my hubby I didn't want my own treat, but could I have a few spoonfuls of his. Again, friends wanted to buy me my OWN treat. I winked at my husband and "said it's much more romantic to share." They laughed and gave me no more grief. So, even though I feel I didn't plan as well as I had thought I really did do some planning. Last night I was thinking how I was going to get back on track WHILE at the State Fair today. I've long since stopped the over eating at the fair basically, because I'm too damn cheap to pay the prices. haha So, I picked 2 of my favorites years ago and that's what I get. The huge ear of corn sans butter and a corn dog from my favorite vender. Then I drink all the free water I can get. I splurge and get the kids an ice cream or snow cone and hubby and I don't have any. Anyhow I was thinking how was my weigh in was going to be this week. Thinking how I had neglected my journal the last 2 days... so got my journal out and started reconstructing the last 2 days. I had 32 WPA left when the days started. When I was done I had 7 points left! It really made me feel better about my WW journey to acknowledge the 2 crazy days rather than to forget about them. Not to get the "ahhh screw it" attitude. I'm still plugging along, Lynne |

good for you Lynn! Positive attitude! You thought about things and made the
best choices possible in difficult situations! You dealt with life situations and handled them very well. Be proud! Keeping your plan foremost in your mind will result in positive success at the scale. Nice going!

So, even though I feel I didn't plan as well as I had thought I really did do some planning. You handled those situations beautifully! I don't get the mentality of food pushers except that maybe they feel a little guilty for the splurge and feel less so when others are joining them. There are some friends DH's that invite us over and I simply won't go anymore because they're extreme food pushers. The wife will set a plate in front of you - she goes a little too far. Anyway, you handled things really well. Last night I was thinking how I was going to get back on track WHILE at the State Fair today. I've long since stopped the over eating at the fair basically, because I'm too damn cheap to pay the prices. haha So, I picked 2 of my favorites years ago and that's what I get. The huge ear of corn sans butter and a corn dog from my favorite vender. Then I drink all the free water I can get. I splurge and get the kids an ice cream or snow cone and hubby and I don't have any. Again, good choices. I love corn on the cob this time of year. The corn dog is a YMMV thing. If you enjoyed it that's what counts. Anyhow I was thinking how was my weigh in was going to be this week. Thinking how I had neglected my journal the last 2 days... so got my journal out and started reconstructing the last 2 days. I had 32 WPA left when the days started.

I'm still plugging along, Lynne Seriously well done. This is why I like this plan - you can have some stuff without going nuts and it's all on the plan. Your WI might not be as great if you don't normally use your WPA's but either way you are still on track. WTG!! -- the volleyballchick |

Thank you all for your encouragement and reading my long post. LOL The
support really means a lot to me. I'm back from the fair and the plan was altered minorly in that I ate some Kettle corn. Not bad. I wanted ice cream SO bad, but it wasn't in the plan. So, I allowed myself as many $2 refills of diet coke as I needed to get through. That was 2 - 32 ouncers and I am not use to drinking that much soda. Felt a little queasy on the way home. I'm drinking delicious cool water to purge myself. I don't dip into my 35 WPA too much. I'll usually have at least 30 left each week. I keep them as accident insurance. Like for this week, but I can see how not using them regularly might not be so good either. Lynne "King's Crown" wrote in message link.net...

Yes, I did. Took me a while to get to the journaling this trip to WW. I
was just so resistant to it. Now I've started it's becoming a habit. I still have 7 WPA left and I weigh in today. So, I'm doing good. Lynne Note to self.... If you bite it write it. egads am I off track... Ralph |
