Weekly Weigh In - And the Scale Goes Up

I fell off the wagon starting right after last week's weigh in. 

It started with this big chocolate and caramel cookie that is sold at work.  I had not had one since starting WW in May and I finally decided to indulge my craving.  I'm the type of girl who can't just eat half a giant cookie and save the other half.  I try but that baby is gone in no time flat.  And you know what? It was good...but not that good.  I won't be needing another one for some time.

Then the weekend came and I set forth to cheer up a friend so we went to a movie (The Debt - very good) and ate popcorn.  Then fries and a milk shake at Steak n Shake. Sidebar: Steak n Shake has my absolute favorite milkshakes.  So thick and yummy.  Second is Potbelly's. Are you a milk shake lover like me?

The week pretty much went down hill from there.  I kinda gave up - if I didn't track, I wouldn't see how badly I was doing.  I got cocky.  Hey, if I could have tapas and sangria and still lose, I can just eat anything I want, right? Worse though, I stopped caring. I ate....a lot. 

Before weighing in, I knew I would be up, I just didn't know how badly.  My home scale is typically about 2lbs heavier than the WW scale but sometimes it surprises me.  Up 0.8 lbs which isn't bad but definitely not the direction I need to be going.

That + though is exactly the motivation I need to get my behind back into gear.  I will track, I will be accountable, I will care, I will lose.
