Sometimes no news is good news . . . or in the case of losing weight, staying exactly the same. I’m actually satisfied with this week’s weigh in considering how my Memorial Day weekend went. Weekends have always been my downfall of working the Weight Watchers program. Especially a holiday weekend.
About midway into the weekend, I just stopped tracking in my journal. I know. I know.
The struggle is real yall!
Sometimes I just get so caught up in the moment that I don’t want to track and worry about what I’m eating and drinking. I just want to be like everyone else and order what ever the hell I want! I want to be able to enjoy an adult beverage or two or three without worrying about dipping into my weekly points allowance! I don’t want to go to the trouble of going out to eat and ordering some dry ass piece of chicken with vegetables! I can eat that miserable shit at home! Sometimes you just want to sip on a Strawberry Daiquiri and enjoy LIFE!
Ok, rant over!
Even though I stopped tracking, I did make better choices when ordering my food. For example, you can’t live in Coastal Virginia and NOT order soft shell crabs when they are in season. It’s just a thing and they are irresistibly delicious! BUT, I didn’t get the fries.
We had a blast this holiday weekend, I enjoyed my meals and my drinks and most of all my LIFE. I lived in the moment and enjoyed every second of it!
We got a lot of yard work done so I didn’t do any extra activity/exercise because pulling weeds and planting things is back breaking enough. Don’t you think?
I was worried that I might gain weight but instead I stayed the same and sometimes no news is good news and I’m ok with that.
How did you do over the Memorial Day weekend?

“When you get to a plateau, think of it as a landing on the stairway to your goal. And maintenance is a lifelong plateau, so a bit of "rehearsal" for maintenance isn’t the worst thing in the world.”
Hi! I’m Aimee with 2 E’s. I'm a confidence coach that empowers women to love themselves by breaking down body image issues, so that they can lose the emotional weight and gain the confidence to look and feel irresistible...at any size.
I need to get back to exercising again and working on weight loss. I’m at 245-ish as well right now and it’s frustrating. At my highest weight I was 277. Through WW and later just sheer motivation I managed to get down to 221-222. The past 6-7 months have been hell for me and I ended up eating all the wrong things and getting no exercise (since pushing my luck or jumping to conclusions doesn’t help…lol).
I wish you the best of luck in your weight loss. It’s not easy but it’s so worth it.
Hi! Just found your blog through a Google search. I love your pics of Memorial Day weekend. I agree a maintain is perfectly good by me from time to time. I also feel that my body occasionally NEEDS a maintain. It’s hard to keep losing weight consistently week in and week out. I think a maintain kind of stabilizes weight loss. I started out with Weight Watchers but found I just couldn’t do all the tracking. But if I find myself getting off track I’ll be right back to logging everything I eat for a week or so.
Sounds like you did a great job during the holiday weekend- those are always some of the hardest! Great job!
