After a rough Thanksgiving week, I got back on track this week with a loss of 3 pounds.  All I did was get back to strict tracking of everything I put in my mouth.  There were also less temptations this week, so it was much easier to get back to my planned eating routine.

Although with Weight Watchers you can eat any food and have as much variety as you want, I tend to do better when I limit myself somewhat and get into a routine of eating certain foods frequently.  I do have some variety, but not a lot. For example, my usual lunch is a 6 inch sub from subway.  I always choose one of the meats with 6 grams of fat or less, but I vary between them.  One day I’ll have ham, another day roast beef, and another day turkey or chicken.  I always choose the whole grain wheat bread, but some days I might toast the sandwich and other days not and I may vary the cheese.  I always load it up with veggies and top it with honey mustard (my favorite low fat topping).  I know every day exactly how many points that sandwich is and limiting my choices for that meal gets me in the habit of staying on track without even thinking about it.  If  I ate something very different for lunch every day, it would be more difficult to stay on track.  I have a few different breakfasts I vary between, and supper is where I have the most variety from day to day.

After 6 weeks on the plan, I have lost 16.4 pounds.  So even after a bad week last week, I am still on track for losing 50 pounds by May 1st.
