Just Keep Swimming

I know I could have done better this past week. I used all of my bonus points, I only made it to the gym twice, but I *could* have done worse. I gained .4 of a pound (as Joe once said, "that's like forgetting to pee before you weigh in"). It threw me off my game a little bit, but since I thought I gained 3 lbs per the doctor's office scale... Our "class mascot" for our Weight Watchers  class is Dory from Finding Nemo. Just like Dory, we all need to "keep swimming" even with minor setbacks. My class leader made a comment that stuck with me (and hopefully will for the week)-- "Progress, not perfection." It makes sense. I made PROGRESS this week and, while striving for perfection is good and all, its the progress that counts.

I'm committing to these 2 goals- I'm going to the gym at least 3x before next weigh in. I will try to eat new, leaner, healthier foods and make smarter snack choices. That's all I have for this week- I just need to focus on those 2 goals..

Katie made me dinner last night and had me try tilapia- it was surprisingly good! Doesn't hurt that she's a good cook.... but it wasn't as filling as I would have liked. It kept me tide over until I got to trivia and ordered hummus and salsa with pita chips and veggies... and a small spinach dip... and regular chips (don't judge me! I had the points to use!), but I can see how pairing that with a veggie or two, even a salad would be a tasty meal. I think tilapia is going on my grocery list... what are some good thing to pair tilapia with?

I found out that this week (and next?) is the Red Lobster All-You-Can- Eat Shrimp thing. Apparently I'm going next Tuesday..? That's easy to eat healthy at-- but also very easy to eat poorly (ohhhh cheddar biscuits, how you tempt me!). But I need to be mentally prepared. I liked getting a 6 day notice of my dining plans, though :)
