Weigh In Day #3

Yesterday was weigh in day and my daughter gained back the pound that she lost last week. The program people said it could be Easter residuals, which is true. We did eat out for the weekend several times. At least she did not gain over that.

I still can't help but feel bad.  I am not at all upset with her because she is doing wonderfully and still has a great attitude. But I am upset with myself. Looking back, maybe we shouldn't have went out at all, Easter or not. Today made me feel like those days when I was on diets and I didn't lose what I wanted to lose. I had those exact same feelings and usually those feelings ended in me quitting. That IS NOT AN OPTION this time though.  I got myself together and started looking and telling them what I was doing. 

Either way, it's over. We have done great this week with our eating. We are going to keep on going. I do have to get back to using the healthy plate and making her write in the food journal everyday and not just a few days at a time. We also have to make more of an effort to get out and exercise on the weekend.

One bright spot is that my baby girl ran up the parking lot today and was barely breathing hard. If this would have been before the program, she would have been visibly out of breath along with her extra drama. *lol* So it is working in several ways.  I have to call her pediatrician and see when we should redo her blood work and check her A1C again.


My Dad's birthday is this weekend and my mother is cooking instead of us going out.  I am going to have to talk with her because she is cooking seafood and I know she is going to fry it.  We can't do the frying. I don't want our efforts to be squashed in one day.  I will see, exactly, what she is making and see if we can bake some of the things for us. Otherwise, we will have to go visit after dinner.  Weekends are the hardest.
