LiVe LaUgH LoVe: Oh the Struggles

We all know that I'm not perfect by any means and I don't intend to ever be, but this last weekend I felt like a total failure.... Not only did I have pizza 3 TIMES... yes 3, I also had a lot of other junk and a few drinks here and there....

Let's just say that I used all of my extra weekly points in like 2 days... :/ not good considering I didn't use any of my activity points or my extra weekly points the week before... so in turn I decided I would step up and make the situation better by either not eating all my points each day or I would workout so I can make some up with activity points, well I've failed at both, I did eat way less then my points yesterday but the other days not so much. (I'm trying not to deprive myself too much so I don't give up)

I recently read on another blog that I read that it works better for this particular person to focus on one part of weight loss at a time in order to completely master their progress. So what that means is first, they decided to solely focus on their eating habits, then once that was mastered, the second was to add fitness to it until that is mastered, then you can have all of it. The reason I have really took this aspect into consideration is that I don't wanna get burned out, if I am trying to focus on both at the same time and repeatedly fail, I am setting myself up to be disappointed if not to completely quit all together. So this is my stand point at this time, I am focusing on my eating mainly but I have been walking a few nights a week, but mainly for fun not for the hard workout!

Another thing that I guess I question or maybe I am just going to share my opinion and how I see it. So we all know that I enjoy drinking... (maybe a lot) and this has been a struggle for me because I don't like to use my extra weekly points(I think cause I feel I won't lose if I do use them) but if I want to drink then I have to save some extra points throughout the day in order to be able to have a few drinks if I want when I get home. That part doesn't really bother me because I haven't been using up all my points each day anyway but what I really don't understand about it is that, I looked up the nutrition facts for my drink of choice which is UV blue vodka, and it only has calories in it, nothing else, so in turn that would mean that it would be 0 points and also the diet soda I mix with it is also 0 points.... So in my logic I can drink if I want to because it doesn't count towards my daily point value. haha... I'm such a sneak at beating the system... Just so we are clear this doesn't mean I will be drinking EVERYDAY, just maybe more on the weekends... :)

I apologize for my long rant, ha, something that has really been working for me is to write on the packages of items in the house or things I eat often how many points it is. That way when I go to pick something up to eat I know exactly what it will cost me.. hehe cost me... I've been learning a lot though regardless and it amazes me what I used to be able to eat.. Yikes.
