WIW

  • 2 weeks ago: 193.0
  • Last week: 197.4
  • This week: 192.9

WHEEEEW, my period/flights/conference travel weight gain was only a temporary blip.

I of course KNEW that was the case, but starting off 2017 strong with working out hard and Weight Watchers I was upset to see such a gain. Glad to be back to where I was and even down .1 from my weight 2 weeks ago. 

Onward and upward in the case of my weight, downward! 

WIT

So between airport and travel eats, retaining water from flying and my period I clocked in at:

  • 197.4 on my home scale
  • 199.4 at weight watchers

It’s about a 4lb change from last week. I know some of this is from travel and period bloat. I feel way puffier/fluffier today than I did even yesterday morning. 

I ran 2x while away and did over 9 miles two of the days between even just conference walking. I’m headed to body pump and body combat express (30 min) tonight then off to Philly for work again for the weekend. I’m teleworking on Monday with plans to food prep and reset. 

Airport Eats

I’m waiting in the Atlanta Airport for my (delayed) connection flight home following my work conference.

In San Antonio itself I did a pretty good job at make good choices and was purposeful and intentional with my indulgences.

Even my early morning flights to San Antonio weren’t bad because I knew I had yummy Texas food to look forward to so I stuck to fruit, yogurt, and a string cheese. (For the record I ate so much fruit this week in an effort to snack healthily).

But flying home has been tough. I was in an unfamiliar airport with only a few options and needed to eat breakfast. And now in Atlanta (where I used to fly in/out of a ton) I couldn’t resist Atlanta Bread. The California Avocado sandwich was always my airport go to. I knew it’d be bad so I told myself I’m not going to look for Atlanta Bread, but of course as soon as I get to Terminal C, there it is! So I look up California Avocado on the weight watchers app – 30 points!!! So I keep walking and my options aren’t much better.

So I walk back and see you can do a choose 2. So I got half a California Avocado sandwich and half of a house salad with just a baby drizzle of dressing and a banana. So it’s an 18pt travel lunch that I feel some shame over, but then I remember it’s not a 30 point lunch. I’m more mindful. I’d rather have 15 points on a sandwich that I really enjoy and never get then some 10 point plain lunch.
