Proof in the Pudding.....

Okay, I decided to conduct an experiment last week as my challenge to see if eating all my points and exercising when I had a deficit would still see me losing weight. On Saturday night before going out I had 11.5 points spare to use but went over that by a whole 3.5 points. I was so naughty! On Sunday night I went over by 2 points and Monday night went over by 2 points again. I went to the gym on Tuesday determined to change everything. I exercised for 2 1/2 hours using the treadmill, machines and free weights aswell as the fitball. I ended up eating what points I had left and waited for weigh in day which was today. I hopped on the scales with baited breath hoping for a loss. What a shock to find I had lost 600g this week. This takes my WW loss to 22.3 Kg and total loss to 37.3 Kg.

It goes to show that when on the Weight Watchers plan you need to eat as many points as possible in order to lose weight. If you don't your body rebels and you end up possibly on a plateau like I was last week. It can be heartbreaking and frustrating all at once.

I also did something else tonight of which I am very proud and feel very at peace with. I went to my church for some introduction to Christianity lessons of which I have had a leaning towards for a while. I promise not to bible bash anyone reading this blog, my own beliefs are just that, my own. I said a prayer tonight welcoming God into my life and felt very serene, peaceful and relaxed afterwards. I felt proud in taking such a big step. I am looking forward to continuing my journey but the one with WW is going to be as momentous as this. I now have only 9.1 Kg to go until I hit goal and what an occasion that will be. In the meantime I shall eat all of my points, exercise and continue to lose weight.

This week's challenge will be to see if I can stay away from the nibblies and alcohol at the party I am going to on Saturday night, should be a fantastic effort if I do.

Until next time,
