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,

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Note to self.... If you bite it write it.

egads am I off track...

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.
