I went to Weight Watchers on this past Wednesday, my normal weigh in day. Weigh in is at 6pm and I have a small string of idiosyncrasies that manifest themselves on Wednesdays each week. I'm not the type-A personality, but for those people who are type-A, weigh in day must be utter hell for them, as they probably have a mammoth list of guidelines to follow.
My weigh in idiosyncrasies are as follows:
1. I eat my normal meals of the day, but try to avoid "hard veggies" during lunch. I have this wacky idea that the weight of the food will affect my weight and will make my weigh in day full of inaccuracy.
2. I do not drink water or any liquids after 2pm. 32 oz of water actually "weighs" two pounds, so consuming a lot of water before weigh in could actually affect the number on the scale.
3. I wear "dress pants" for work. I will NEVER weigh in if I am wearing jeans or lots of layers of clothing. Others agree with me. Before people step on the scale, layers of clothing are removed. I even remove my earrings and scarves. Hey, weight is weight.
Anyway, this week I lost 2.4 pounds. When I look in the mirror, I feel like my stomach looks flat/chubby. It's not protruding as much, but there's still jiggle to it. I've had that jiggle since about 6th grade; it's not like I am on a quest for washboard abs either.
I feel like, since Wednesday, I have been on a downward path. Wednesday night, I went out for Malaysian. I did bring leftovers home...but then quickly ate them once I got home. On Thursday, I had cheesecake. Last night, I had two beers (three, since one was 17 oz). Today, we're going to a brewpub that specializes in artisan breads and cheeses.
From tomorrow until Wedsnesday, I need to exercise (AGH) and eat a lower amount of daily points. In other words.... exhibit self-control ....
