WW Weigh In: Week 4

YIKES!  ok, it is not like i didn't see it coming.  +1.2 pounds gained over the past week.  i have to say...i don't feel bad for one ounce of the weight.  everything i ate was WORTH IT.  i wasn't just eating b/c i was bored or stressed.  B and i cooked two great meals that were pretty healthy, overall (but when ya have steak and mashed taters...the points go quickly!).  and delicious.  we indulged in a cannoli for Christmas and one the day after.  we were required to do that; we are in the North End for the holidays!  we ate a bunch of Lindt chocolate (maybe too much).  but, again, i know that i would have been pretty bitter if i didn't savor food for a special time of year. today marks the first day since last Saturday that i've been 100% on-plan.  i'll be good tomorrow, but New Year's eve is going to be off the book.  and i'm not gonna feel bad about that either!  i am trying to think of some manageable way to really take this 'lifestyle' change to the next level.  i still am in 'diet' mindset, and that is not my overall goal.  i want to live a healthier lifestyle in mind and body.  this is not rocket science.  and for the sake of the cannoli, i can change.  i just have to do it.  no excuses.  no one/thing is force-feeding me, or making me stay in bed longer than i need to, or tempting me to sit on my arse all day.  the responsible party is typing this blog.  i don't believe in making New Year's resolutions anymore because they inevitably are the same year after year (lose weight, excersize more, get out of debt, finish school).  but i think i do need to try to be very specific about my goals and i need to try to make them manageable.  sounds like a productive way to spend my time before the Patriots game starts :)
