13 wasn't an unlucky number

I wasn't feeling too confident about the 13th weigh in. Last weekend was Labor Day weekend and I got lazy about tracking. I thought I was keeping the point number in my head and remembered the next day something that I had forgotten. I don't mean this in an obsessive way, but I don't want to fall back into mindless eating either.

There has been a project going on at the home of one of my sons. This led to having pizza one night which I counted and all was well. Two days later after an all day class with a Jimmy John's sandwich for lunch (14 points), I had pizza again for dinner. Two slices. Another 14 points. There will be days like this from time to time. I still made better choices than I would have months ago. I didn't have a third slice of pizza. I didn't have candy or dessert.

It is so easy to fall back into old habits. That concerns me more than the point tally at the end of the day. My normal weigh in is on Monday but since that was a holiday and Tuesday was ridiculously busy here, I weighed in Wednesday morning. I am down a half pound. Whew!

I don't expect my next weigh in this coming Monday to show much of a loss since it won't be a full week, but it will be what it will be. Our anniversary (39th!) is Friday and we will probably go out to eat. I am not blowing caution to the wind completely but I may use some of those weekly points that I rarely touch.

Onward and downward!
