A three week catch up

I have been AWOL from blogging for the past three weeks. A long weekend away has helped to contribute to that. I've had three weigh in's since my last post and it's been an up an down roller coaster over those three weeks.

Week one,Tuesday 29th November 2013 - up 3 lbs!
I definitely deserved the 3lbs gain. I was a very bad weight watcher that week, If I saw it I ate it. I didn't track a thing. I ate what I wanted and I wanted everything! At the time of the gain I blamed PMS but now I can look back with honesty and say that I had no control over food that week and I deserved that gain.

Week two, Tuesday 5th November 2013 - 4lbs!
I did not see the 4lb loss coming the next week though. That one knocked me for six! In the 35 weeks i have been doing Weight Watchers the only loss of that scale was back in week three, since then its been steady losses of 1 or 2 lbs. The 4lb loss brought me 1lb under my goal and I was delighted. My leader sue told me I would physically have my cold card the following week. I had gone over my weeklies and I didn't track the last two days of my week. I had done 2 hours of skate training on sunday which is really intense but not 4lbs intense. I was very happy and I felt like I could relax a little and go on my long weekend break with a little more room for indulgence.

Week three,  Tuesday 12th November 2013 - down 1lb!
Myself and William headed away to killarney after work thursday evening. We stopped and treated ourselves to a drive thru from Mac Donalds on the way. I felt in control and I ordered a regular cheeseburger - 8pp and regular fries - 9pp. I had plenty of points left for the day so I didn't feel guilty at all. We arrived at the hotel and checked into our room. The first thing I spotted was the giant Jacuzzi bath in the bathroom. I knew my plan for the night then. A glass of red wine and a long soak in the tub :) That set the tone for my weekend, I was in relaxing mode.

Red wine & a Jacuzzi bath...NICE!

I did indulge and yes i went over my weeklies a bit but i enjoyed every second of my break and i went to face the scales when I got back. I couldn't believe that I was down 1lb after all of my indulgence but something must have been working!

So I am 2lbs under my goal but I have not had a good tracking week this week. I have been aware of what I am eating and I think I am ok but I haven't been writing anything down. I have been feeling awful, I have an ear infection for the 6th time this year. I have to go see the ENT next week and there is a possibility I have to change my hearing aid too, which is expensive. Although I didnt track I did not let myself get out of my roller derby training on sunday, I wasn't sure how my balance would fair with an ear infection but I had the best training this week, I managed to skate half the track on one foot! So I am definitely improving there.
