I realize it’s not the best thing in the world to jump the gun, to expect anything, or to assume that everything is going the way you would like it to.
However…
After another full week on my at-home CD I looked at my numbers and, while I was over by 4 points last week, (4 points! Still unheard of for me! Last time around I was 4 points over every day!) and, there were two days where my fruit and/or veg was lacking a bit, the rest of the week was quite the success. I earned some AP’s, I even went to my new gym (instead of a going-away party), and I passed up on every single junk food temptation that came my way. Unbelievable, really!
So, because my at-home CD requires me to weigh on Sunday, I got on the scale yesterday and saw a number I hadn’t seen for quite a while…93.7 KG. ME! 93.7KG! Granted there is still the .7 after the 93, I’m really quite pleased. According to my graph on my program, that’s 3.3KG off on my 2nd w/i.
Now, don’t worry! This doesn’t mean that I assume, or expect to see 93.whatever. What I expect, or rather, what I KNOW, is that I will see a loss. Of course it all depends on what happens during the day on Tuesday… maybe I need to eat less things which bloat me up or drink less caffeine and more water. It’s hard to really know what to expect when you have to weigh-in in the evenings instead of in the morning while still in one’s birthday suit.
How about this, though? How about no expectations? How about focusing on all the possibilities and all the ways I can measure my success? I mean, personally, 98% of me would even be OK with a maintain this week, simply because of TOM, going over points a bit and not getting 100% enough veg and fruit and I would STILL think I had a successful week. The fact that I went to the gym is a measurement of success. The fact that, despite how much my brain was telling me to eat that donut or chocolate or go out for beers; I did not give in to those things, that is a HUGE measurement of success. The fact that I can’t tighten my belt further, that my 46’s are in fact getting looser… these are really, REALLY important things to remember. Do I WANT the scale to move at WW? Of course I do!! I’m already dreaming and planning on what I’m going to do for rewards… get my nails done, a pedicure, get a real haircut… then I’m going even further and visualizing myself as a kickass gorgeous “bride” when I get married next year (if we do it next year…), fantasizing that I’m even hotter than Bettie Page ever was (OK I know that’s not completely attainable, but a girl can dream, right?).
So, yeah, I am pretty confident the scale will move tomorrow at WW, and in the right direction. I’m going to focus on all the possibilities though… all of them… all of the good things that yet to come. And, honestly? I can’t wait, but I will and it will be worth every “no, thanks” that I say to junk and every day, week, month it takes me to reach my goals.
