Well, my plan to start last Sunday was violently interrupted by a 24 hour stomach flu. So rather than weighing in and kicking myself, I was lying in bed begging for my dog to put me out of my misery. The good news is that I'm pretty sure I dropped a few pounds that day.
The next day, when life seemed livable again, I decided not to let my misfortune stop me. After scrubbing my entire apartment in bleach, and I was sure everything was disinfected, I did my grocery shopping as planned. I came home and prepped my breakfasts and lunches for the week. It was quite a feat considering food and I were still not talking.
I went ahead and assigned myself 33 WW points per day (which is what I was at last time) and keep with my week as planned despite my late start date. So far the week has been great! Nothing's holding me back this time! In fact, I think my illness has fueled me to get healthier all around. This is the third time I've been sick with something awful this summer and I'm sooooooo over it! So on top of my new eating habits, I'm also kicking my smoking habit and putting down the cocktails and trading them in for an iced tea. I'm going to get 8 hours of sleep (well, I usually do - but it sounds nice right??) and I'm going to walk my dog twice as long everyday. It's just time for these things. All of these things - my weight, the smoking, the cocktail hour - they've been on my "Bad Habit To Kick" List for sometime. Now maybe I can start ticking things off on my "Fun Things To Do" list!
