WW week 5

I was not expecting any loss this week.

We had gone camping last weekend, so I allowed myself 3 days of not tracking and just eating whatever (within reason!) So we feasted on easy BBQ dinners, yummy calamari and chips and plenty of point laden snacks. I was planning on walking lots, but instead chased the kids around trying to get exercise.

I rocked up tonight to weigh-in, hoping and praying that I at least didn't gain any weight. Well I only just scraped in. 200grams lost. Such a measly amount, but I am going to take it and be happy. It brings me down to 70.7, which was my first goal of loosing 5% of my body weight. So now all up I have lost 3.7kgs. My Mil is still powering along and all up has lost 7.8kgs in the 5 weeks.

I am feeling slightly guilty at my loss though. Before I left to get weighed, I put on the clothes that I have been wearing every week. T-shirt, jeans and thongs. Then I did a stupid thing and weighed myself on my digital scales. I was exactly the same as last week so I quickly ran to the toilet and desperately tried to squeeze out any wee that might be weighing me down. Nothing, not even a drop. So then Nicole's words of "Never wear jeans, they weight soooo much" was ringing in my ears. I stripped of the jeans and changed into a nice, light skirt. Weighed again, and sure enough 200grams gone.

I know I didn't deserve any loss after a crappy eating week and a sneaky wardrobe change, but I couldn't bare the thought of not loosing, or worse still gaining weight.

Yeah, yeah - I know I'm only cheating myself, but sometimes a bit of mind trickery is good for the confidence.
