Week #8 / DID NOT WEIGH IN

I had every intention of going to weigh in this morning, but my little 8 week old alarm clock didn't wake me up at 5 o'clock like he usually does.  I welcomed the extra sleep though.  I missed the big "thanksgiving meeting" though and that annoys me, so maybe I'll go tomorrow morning.  I was really dreading weighing in and if I go tomorrow, I may use my "no weigh in pass".  On my scale this morning I was up .6 lbs from last week.  

For some reason, I've lost my motivation.  The first time I joined WW (2 years ago), I lost my motivation shortly after reaching my 10% goal.  I don't know why.  Maybe I'm bored with it?  Maybe I need to change it up a little and try some new recipes.  I don't know.  Yesterday I was at my brother's house and my sister-in-law baked some very yummy pumpkin spice cookies.  I'm sure you all know by now how addicted to pumpkin I am.  Well, she sent me home with 2 dozen cookies and by 8 o'clock last night, they were gone.  I'd like to say that my family really enjoyed them, but my family can only account for 2 of them.  Yes, I ate 22 cookies yesterday and that's not counting the 2 or 3 I ate at her house.  And since I did that and was already feeling down on myself, I thought I'd eat some other things I was craving.  Maybe I'll just make a list of everything I ate yesterday.
  • pumpkin spice cookies (25)
  • peanut butter cookies (2)
  • corn dogs (2)
  • spoonfuls of peanut butter (3)
I don't see anything healthy on that list.  Oh, and to top it off, since I was having a eat anything I want evening, at 9:15 I hopped in the car and headed for the Starbucks drive-thru.  I ordered a Venti Eggnogg Latte...  640 calories (14 points).  WOW!

But it's not like yesterday was my only downfall.  I pretty much cheated every day.  Thursday I ordered pizza "for the family", but ate two pieces myself.  Oh, and Three Musketeer Bars have 45% less fat than regular candy bars, so I've been treating myself to a king-size one of those every night.  Like 45% really matters.  It's just been a really bad bad week.  

I am happy to say though that I am getting back on track today (at least so far).  I made the family french toast with eggs and bacon for breakfast.  And I made myself french toast too only with egg beaters, Sara Lee 45 calorie bread and sugar free calorie free syrup.  The kids seemed to enjoy theirs, but mine tasted like cardboard.  Seriously.  I'll have to play around with that and see if I can make it taste any better.  So, hopefully, after having a week of not doing so well, I will be able to stick with it for a while longer.  Keeping my fingers crossed.
