Last Monday, I entered my second month on Weight Watchers and after going ‘kind of strong’ for four weeks, I think I needed a f*cking break.

That being said, the past seven days did not hold my proudest moments. But before I get into the problem that is alcohol, please remember how good I was during my first four weeks on Weight Watchers when I managed to lose a whopping six pounds:
Week 1
Week 2
Week 3
Week 4

I think I got ahead of myself when I was all like ‘OMG I CAN DIET ANDDDD HAVE A SOCIAL LIFE ANDDDDD LOSE WEIGHT AT THE SAME TIME’ because no. This week I was totally meh and I’ve got the documentation to show it.

Here’s week 5. Enjoy!


Day 1: Monday

8am: Quest bar (4) for ~protein~

12pm: Barre class.

130pm: Grabbed a grande skinny vanilla latte (4) after class. Then I went home and had Chobani simply 100 yogurt (3) with strawberries (0) and banana slices (0) in it. I also had an apple (0).

230pm: I was still hungry so I had cucumber slices (0) with light ranch veggie dip (3).

5pm: I always get hungry at this time, but it’s too early to eat/make dinner so I end up snacking. In the progression of an hour, I had a cheese stick (1), celery (0) with a wedge of laughing cow cheese (1), and 6 chips (3) with salsa (0).

8pm: For dinner, I balled out and made cheeseburgers. Mine was 8 points for the burger and 2 for the cheese, so in total it was 10 points (I had no bun of course). I also had a baked potato (5) with ‘buttery spread’ (2).

9pm: SkinnyPop (3) of course, because what is 9pm without popcorn?

TOTAL POINTS: 39
EXTRA POINTS USED: 9
FITPOINTS GAINED: 7

 

Day 2: Tuesday

8am: I started the day by going to Starbucks for a latte (4). Then I came home and had cottage cheese (2) with sugar free peaches (0).

4pm: Pure Barre.

530pm: Before going to meet a friend for drinks, I had a Quest bar (4).

630pm: I got 2 glasses of wine that I counted for 11 points. Then my friend and I split this Fried Cauliflower appetizer which was delicious. I counted it for 4 points.

4pm: Pure Barre.

7pm: Somehow I made it through the day without snacking. I think I was mad for what I had eaten the previous two days. For dinner, I had scrambled eggs (1 cup of Egg Beaters = 1 point) with ketchup (REAL ketchup = 2) and 2 chicken sausages (5).

5pm: ~SkinnyPop~ (3)

9pm+: I went out and had a shit ton of wine for 21 points.

2am: I came home and ate 10 chips (5) with salsa (0) and a rice cake (1) with 1 tbsp of the fake peanut butter (1). I also counted all of these points at 2am and put them in my Weight Watchers app. I may have a problem, but at least I’m documenting it.

I really f*cked up with the points this week. One day I had like half the points, but most days I went SOOO over. I also had maybe 3 days worth of points in alcohol — and I didn’t even drink that much. Points-wise I guess I drank a lot, but I wasn’t drunk or anything. If I was drinking to get drunk, I would have drank a lot more. Ugh.

For FitPoints, I gained 42. This was almost at my goal of 49, but not quite. I did go to Pure Barre 6 days this week, but I didn’t do any cardio classes or walking. Sigh.

For my weight, I didn’t lose any – but I also didn’t gain any. I’m hoping to do better this week, and stay away from the drink because not only are points from drinking a lot, but alcohol also makes me eat bad things.

BYE!
