Self critique:
I was really glad I lost this week. Almost a pound. Even after using a lot of my weekly allowance last night, and having foods with sodium. (A binge for me is what last night was.) I got in activity every day but one. I made good choices; I tracked what I ate. I got in the healthy guidelines most of the days.
I still had indulgences (marshmallows, chocolate etc). I need them to not feel deprived. I usually eat my whole weeks' allowance and I still lose. That was today's meeting topic, too.
My fiancee ate dinner with me tonight. We agreed to eat dinner at home together at least once a week. Upon prodding, his requests were beef tips and gravy and spaghetti with meat sauce. I made a huge batch of ground beef with onions and peppers and I saved more than half for another night. I'm not sure what it will be in (maybe chili), but it will be a great timesaver to have it on hand.
I almost bought gravy out of a jar, but I thought it would be more WW friendly for me to cook some of my own. I don't know what cut of meat beef tips is (uh, is it called beef tips?), so I skipped that for now.
