Staying Steady...

Maintenance Week 1:  When I weighed myself this morning, I gained 0.9 pounds but according to Weight Watchers this is completely normal to gain/lose one or two pounds during maintenance.  I can't say I'm surprised because I splurged last week with a few extra pints, chicken wings and ice cream which ended up depleting my extra points for the week.  I worked out almost daily, with visits to the gym, Zumba, Pilates, and 30 day shred.  But, it wasn't enough!

And let's be honest, I can't eat whatever I want, spend only a few hours a week at a gym and maintain my weight.  I have to still make good decisions on a daily basis and I have to remember, it's all about portion control.  Which unfortunately includes beer.

That including beer thing is really depressing me too :-(

I pretty much only drink beer, so dieting was rough! But, when you decrease consumption, you also decrease tolerance which increases your bank account ;-)
