Weight dropped this morning..getting very close to where I was back in early APRIL!!! Where did 3 months go by and why have I been walking backwards????!!

Also, I don't know if subconsciously self-sabotage has been working today or what, but I have ended up eating a lot of points today, just on accumulated grazing!! Here's the inventory!

pre-workout: 12 almonds (2 pts)
post-workout: power smoothie : strawberries (1), banana (2), ff yogurt (2), protein pwd (3), multivitamin (?)
coffee with cream (3)
salad with sprinkled cheese (1), croutons (1), ff italian dressing (1)
evening: 1 mini veggie sausage (1), oil (1), veggies (0) stir fry
airpopped popcorn with tsp of butter and oil (2)
homemade chilli (2), flatbread (0.5)
more popcorn!! (2)
Total: 24.5 (points allowed: 19!!!)

Is this a case of carbs beggeting more carbs?? I certainly get thrown off my schedule when I can't eat home as planned and have to rely on things sold outside (e.g., the smoothie which was higher points than desired, salad which just didnt stem the hunger, and coffee with too many points in the cream!)

Workout went well today but I didn't try too hard to continue longer. Work's been on my mind. Personal trainer session involved the foll: (all upper body weights)
Shoulders front and side: 5 pounds, 15 reps, 3 sets each on front and side
tricep kickbacks: 10 pounds, (upgraded from 5!), 15 reps, 3 sets
Upper back: 2 pounds, and then 1.5, 15 reps, 3 sets
Bozu ball curls: (BEST IMPROVEMENT! I was able to stabilize myself the whole time, and upgraded weights gradually from 5, 8, and then 10: 20 reps, 16 reps, and 20 reps respectively
Ball crunches: 25
Tricep pull down with rope: 15 reps, 3 sets
Bicep curls with holding the weight in one hand and curling the other: 10 pds, 15 reps, 3 sets
chest push back: (upgraded from 15 to 30 pounds!): 15 reps, 3 sets
cardio (on my own): Did these laps on the track:
6 mins jogging, 2 min walking, 3 min jogging, 2 min walking


That's it!! had planned on coming home and doign cardio at night as I didn't do enough, but didn't happen!

Woohoo for the loss! Please remember not to set the bar too high for yourself because I think you had a pretty great day with your exercise and only slightly elevated points (you ARE allowed flex points!!!). You are a self-proclaimed perfectionist so try to filter out some of the negative thinking and look for the positives instead. How about trying to do one week worth of journals with nothing but positive insights, regardless of how you feel the days went? It IS possible. I know you don't believe me. I can see you shaking your head. But it could do you a world of good to focus on all the good you are doing. It's worth a try, don't you think?
