"But I Have Plenty Of Extra Points!"

Well, Weigh in day is approaching and this has been kind of a tough week. I have learned to love my extra weekly points (All 49 of them!). I have been using every one of them, (For the record, that's what they said to do).

The extra points scared me at first but, I learned that they definitely come in handy for extracurricular activities such as, Girls Night, Parties, Dinner Dates (With the hubby of course!). But you get it right? How exciting, if you use all your daily points, you don't have to worry because there is back up! You have the security of you're weekly points!

Well, I decided, I don't know if I like them any more! It is nice to receive that freedom at the beginning of the new week, but I think they have been making me a little over confident.

Here are a few examples:

"We can have what ever you want for dinner kids, mom has extra points!"

"Sure let's have some drinks and pizza tonight while we watch a movie Hun, I have extra points!"

"I can eat what ever I want at the party, don't worry I have plenty of extra points!"

The only problem is, when I am out at these places, parties or what not, I am not tracking until that night or the next day! Why you ask? Well, because I have plenty of extra points!

Then much to my dismay, all my beloved extra points are gone without me even knowing it! Then its too late!

Its a vicious cycle that I need to get out of!!!!

Ahhhh, I feel much better now that I got that off my conscience.

I think from now on I need to break up the extra points by the day and say, "I don't have extra points, I just have what I have and that's it!"

We will see tomorrow at weigh in what damage I have actually done this week, but no matter what it is, I will keep on going, because I am determined to get to where I want to be!

I promise, no more blind eating. Only daily points from here on in.

Now that I wrote it I have to live it! Done!

Love Much, Live Well
