My third week on Weight Watchers was kind of a bad one. I just got lazy toward the end of the week, and even lazier during the weekend. I have trouble tracking my foods if I know I'm making poor choices, and so it's easier for me to stay off track if I'm not writing it down.
I think keeping track of my foods helps me to stay accountable to myself, and to my iPhone, as far as what I'm consuming in a typical day.
But I'm back with the program now. This is a new week. I'm going to make myself track everything I'm eating. That way if I do eat something bad, I'll be able to make up for it by making better choices with my other foods and exercise.
This Week's Results: -1.4lbs.
Total Weight Loss: -8.2lbs.
If I can manage to lose another 1.8lbs by next week, I'll get another sticker! Yippee!
I'm glad I didn't gain this week; I was afraid I might. But I think all of the exercise I did earlier in the week helped to compensate a little for all the eating I did on Friday and Saturday.
I went to the grocery store last night to pick up some healthy foods so I can stay on plan. As I wandered over to the bread aisle, though, the aroma of the bakery really got me.
I've never been too crazy about baked goods. I enjoy breads and cakes just like any other person, but when it comes to cravings, I tend to crave fried things.
But as I was walking through the bakery section of the store, the allure of that sweet fragrance in the air was calling me. I really thought I might rip open a box of donuts and start shoving them in my mouth!
I had to hurry up and make my selections quickly so I could get away from those smells because they were making me crazy.
I've never really experienced that before with breads, but I just thought it was funny. It did cause me to make an unexpected purchase, though. I bought a package of Fiber One Apple Cinnamon Bun Muffins (4 points each), so I'll let you know how those are.
Do you have any similar grocery store experiences? How do you curb those cravings when they come?
