One step forward, two steps back

My first week back to WW was great. I journaled, tracked everything, planned, had about 29 WPAs left over. And I lost half a pound. Woot, woot! Week 2…I think my willpower muscle got tired. Really I was away for the weekend and didn’t have time to plan or shop for the week. I’ve known for a while that a  plan is essential to me staying on track so it’s no surprise things went off the rails a bit. I’m hoping I didn’t undo the first week’s work, but the good news is I’ve already planned the coming week’s meals. They include:

  • Grilled cheese & tomato soup for lunch
  • American Chop Suey
  • Steak, quinoa, and squash
  • Chicken Quesadillas
  • Chili Cheese Baked Potato
  • Breakfast for dinner (pancakes & turkey sausage)

I’m also going to be able to get my weekend workouts in which is when I have the most flexibility. That will include at least BodyPump and my spin training class (90 minutes, 15 APs - yikes!!). I might try to do a double on Saturday with either kickboxing after BodyPump or step class before. We’ll see how awake I am in the morning. But my goal is to save as many of my WPAs as possible for 3 evening events and on other days only eat my daily Points+ and my APs.

What are some of your well known obstacles? How do you overcome them?
