Weigh-in: Week 81

You know that sometimes you’ll hit the scale and you expect to see your weight go up. Well, that was me this week and I was in for a small surprise. I lost 0.4 pounds this week. I think that is pretty darn good considering that large margarita I had last night at Don Pablo’s. Still I had the Mama’s skinny enchiladas and talked Amy out of the queso and got the guacamole instead.

One of the suggestions from Weight-Watchers when eating out is to “stop, rest and assess”. This means that about halfway through your meal, put your fork/spoon/chopsticks down, wait a few minutes and assess your level of hunger. If you’re full, stop completely, otherwise, you should probably continue. I managed to do that at Don Pablo’s without consciously trying. I was about 2/3 through the enchiladas when I realized I didn’t want any more. I never ate the last enchilada and just left it on my plate. That was an empowering feeling.

However, as noted in my previous post on my personal blog, I have also been busy around the house and that can make a difference in what the scale shows. Especially when I usually only have two meals when home from work and I had Sunday and Tuesday at home to hang stuff, vacuum, and generally help in cleaning up around here.

I’m gonna work harder at this, because I want to post losses every week, not just every week or so.
