Weight Loss Surprise!

I made it through the incredibly boring day of training, picked up my car from the shop, and headed out to my Weight Watchers meeting.  I seriously thought I might have a bit of a gain. What a shock I got!  4.4 pounds down, hit the 20 pounds lost mark, and the 10% goal!  Woo hoo!  I weigh 189.6 pounds!

Had a Chinese takeout dinner with my man and made some choices I haven't made in a while.  Didn't sneak extra cookies, didn't get two egg rolls with my entree, but got a delicious Thai cucumber salad on the side.  Did indulge in my half-pint of Ben & Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk, AKA Food of the Gods.  Well, Coffee Heath Bar Crunch is my ultimate fave, but NYSFC will do in a pinch.

So I used all of my weekly points today, but I did get all of my healthy checks in.  Water, fruits and vegetables, oil, dairy, vitamin.  Even got one point of exercise in, a short walk during my lunch break.

Today's 10th Step

Good Stuff

• I prayed for my boss and my pain-in-the-ass co-worker today, both on my knees before leaving the house AND at the training today.  It helped; I did not engage in co-worker bashing, which I usually do when I'm around that many members of the staff; there is always someone to commiserate with on that subject.
• I had a croissant at 11:00 a.m. because I was SO hungry, but I tracked it and I did not eat anything else from the pot luck.  At lunch, I had my normal yogurt-almond-granola-apple concoction with a teaspoon of oil (I've been dividing my daily two teaspoons between breakfast and lunch lately).
• My co-worker mentioned that today was the anniversary of her father's sudden death more than over a decade ago, I asked how she was feeling, and listened.
• My sponsee sent me a text saying that she was really struggling and didn't want to talk, but wanted to, as she says, "tell on myself."  I called her anyway, didn't get an answer, but left a message.
• My sponsor is out of town and incommunicado, so she is having one of her other sponsees call me; we talked briefly today.

Selfishness

• I ran out of the building when training was declared to be over, even though they asked us to stay and help clean up.

Resentment

• I can't think of an example of resentful behavior from today.

Dishonesty

• I can't think of an example of dishonesty from today.

Fear

• Fear is always down there... I can't think of a decision I made or a behavior I chose that was a direct result of fear, though.

Remedies

• When I find dishes in our communal sink during the next two weeks, I will do them.
