Just wanted to be clear that although the title of this blog site is "The Diet Divas," we do not intend for the word "diet" in this case to be used as a verb - something you do (e.g. I am dieting). "Diet" for our purposes is a noun - a thing (e.g. I am changing my diet).
We wanted to make sure that we are clear on this as particularly Weight Watchers (and really any diet program worth its salt) emphasizes that this is not a "diet" (verb), but rather a change of lifestyle.
Rough Week
After my attempt 5 days ago to get myself fired up about my progress, for some reason this week I’m having a tough time staying completely on track. I haven’t gone crazy and loaded up on Oreos or anything, but I also haven’t stuck to my points strictly this week. I’ve been over each day by anywhere from 3-6 points.
Now this doesn’t actually “hurt” my overall point target – I’m borrowing from my FlexPoints for the week (35 total), but I know I’m not going to do as well at the weigh-in on Saturday if I don’t stick better to my 24 point limit for each day.
It may partly be due to the doctor’s appointment I had yesterday which didn’t go well and has depressed me a little (for more on that, see my regular blog post). It might also be partly driven by the fact I only was down .8 pounds last week and that bummed me out a little too.
If anyone has any encouragement to give, now would be the time!
