Here is my stats for Week 22
Week 22 7/25 - 8/1 +3 WT: 164 BMI: 28.1
I was off plan 1/2 of Friday, Sat & Sun. Weighed in Yesterday at 168 lbs then today at 164 lbs. I know it is probably water weight plus food I ate weight and by tomorrow I will be where I was to begin with at 161. I did not eat enough food to gain that much weight. At most I would say 1 lbs but I don't even think that. Anyway I knew the scale would be like this the first few days but wow when you see a 7 lbs gain when you didn't even have a "pig out" weekend it was a bit surprising.
So it is day 2 of being compliant again. I am happy that I don't get the first few day problems anymore when I restart the program. Maybe because I only go off plan a day or two and dont eat like a pig. I know the more I go off plan the longer it is going to take me to get to my goal and I am ok with that. It is so hard during the summer now. So many BBQ's, family get togethers, fairs, etc. But I know I will get to my goal, maybe not by the end of summer but once school starts it will be much easier I think. The main thing is if I have a "planned" cheat I get right back on the plan Monday morning. Now I say planned because I choose before hand that I am not going to be MF compliant. Not because I cave in during the week and eat a whole box of cookies. To me that is cheating. I don't consider what I do as cheating. The word Cheating makes me feel like I am sneaking around and eating tons of food I know I shouldnt where a planned cheat is me choosing the food I will eat and so far I have done well with that by choosing food healthy for me.
I guess I am rambling on a bit. Just typing my thoughts today. So anyway we will see what the scale says tomorrow. My ticker will stay the same. I am not changing it right now.
