From the top of the world to the low valley below! I was so excited to weigh myself this morning, I have been doing everything right, and just knew I'd see a loss, I hadn't climbed on that scale in at least 3 days, which was hard not to do! I gained a frickin' pound & 3 oz. How disappointing and frustrating. My son had an 8 am basketball game, so I grabbed a serving of ricotta treat and ate it so that I wouldn't do what I proceeded to do anyway below. He and his team did really well, so I decided to treat him with a McDonalds breakfast sandwich, something they never get. So I ordered one for the baby thinking I'd eat 1/2 of his, but then my daughter only ate half of hers, so I ended up eating a whole one - and a hashbrown, and let me tell you, when I was entering the nutrition information into the computer, it wasn't pretty. I should have looked at that first, I knew it would be bad, I just didn't realize how bad. Had I looked at it first, maybe I wouldn't have eaten it. So now I'm just down on myself for this and for the weigh in, I shouldn't have done that! I hate this dieting CRAP! Anyhow, I'm pretty sure I've used up a large portion of my points, if not all of them, and it's 10am, this is not a good start! Guess I'll have to dig into those extra weekly points after all. This is going to take for freaking ever, seems like too big of a mountain to climb. How can ones feelings go high and low so fast?

Breakfast - 17.5 points - can you freakin' believe that?
Lunch - 3.5 points
Dinner
Snacks
Exercise:
Elliptical: 32 minutes; 1.72 distance; 154 calories; rough goin', couldn't get motivated, will try again later today.
Took a 1/2 hour walk with the kids, but it was dang cold!!
Did a few reps of light weights & resistance bands while hoping on and off the elliptical because I just couldn't get going.
Surely this day will be a lesson to self! I think I'll try to stay on the elliptical all through Jaxons nap, hopefully he'll take a 2 hour one!
Well, that 2 hour nap was wishful thinking, and even if he had, I just couldn't get into it, I did 30 mins and called it good. Hopefully I can get another 30 minute bout in later. However, I am over my whining and realize that my horrid breakfast is not the end of the world, oh the drama :)

oh no!!! don't give up! it's okay. i can totally relate to the up and downs. they can come fast and hard though out the day don't let it get you down. today just DOUBLE UP on you water to flush all the sodium that you ate this morning and then have tons of fresh veggies and low calorie fruit points to keep you full and with in your point range, eat the extra if you need them but do the fresh stuff anyways....it will help you pass the fat and salt that you ate for breakfast this morning. if you have to eat miky D's again i have the egg mc muffin no cheese for 5 points. good luck and stay motivated!

lol Awe honey... it's OK!! We all have to make mistakes to learn, right?? =D You have done this... you now know that kind of food is NOT Good for you and your diet. As far as your weigh in... it could be water weight. Push fluids for a couple days, get a little more working out and then re-weigh. Growing pains, can hurt, so as far as the highs and lows, eh... chalk it up to learning and growing! You're pains are good ones, you'll never forget how bad these am foods were for you. It's not like you planned on eating "so bad", you assumed it wasn't as bad as it was, and learned differently. No biggy.... brush it off, don't look back and look at the rest of your day. Go get some good fun exercise in to give a few points back into your day and CHIN UP! You can DO THIS! I highly suggest finding some yummy tea for a day like today!! It is only 2 cals straight up and I put a bit of xylitol to sweeten it... there are many good flavors to chose from, so I'm sure you can find one to your liking! Feel free to email for a list of some of my favs! They really help to satisfy me, and hold off snacking and keeping me feeling "fuller". Got GET 'EM GIRL!!! You can DO IT!!

It's OK. No worries!! Just dust yourself off and keep on going! We all have these kind of days. Don't forget that you just switched your plan from SB to WW too. So you're eating differently. Hang in there!

Don't be down on yourself for one breakfast at McDonald's! The battle of the bulge was never won or lost over one meal, it's the cumulative effect of many meals that matters. It will all even out over time. And you have all the time you need! As I've been known to say before, this journey is for the rest of our lives so one mistake along the path will mean nothing a mile or two down the road. This was a positive experience for you in a way because you have learned how shocking the calories are for some foods out there. You will be able to make a more informed choice next time. Live and learn. It's all good. You can do this. Don't give up!

Keep strong; I know how frustrating dieting can be-it's awful. The scale moves up so quickly and down so slowly; we do really have hard work ahead of us, but it will pay off
I know the scale moves up so quickly and down so slowly, and we can get easily frustrated, but when we lose some pounds, it all seems less impossible. Keep Strong.

Thank you all for your support, encouragement, and tips. I just need to stop expecting so much from the scale :) Bad Damien! Bad! I've been down on my elliptical trying to pound out some pounds, but I'm disinterested, so I came up to get my Ipod, hopefully that'll do it! I'm going to pull out my 0 point veggie soup from the freezer & defrost for dinner, so maybe I can stay on my points afterall today, I just can't have the homeade healthy pizza I had planned on tonight - but that's a family thing (and the kids are looking forward to it), so maybe I'll just healthily indulge in moderation and starve myself tomorrow (in a healthy veggie soup type of way :) OK, enough stalling, if I can get an hour in on the elliptical, I'll feel so much better, redeemed! Thanks again! This is the best place to diet! You are all wonderful!

I think you should be proud that you hopped right back on the horse. It would have been easy to screw the whole day up because of one dissapointment.....It was only one meal.....and you didn't let it hurl you back into eating oblivion. great job....
