I had to recalculate my weigh-in date. I had originally set my weigh-ins for Sundays. I thought to myself, "Start off the new week by measuring the success or failure of the week before." Good on paper, not in life. Weight Watchers allows you to cheat on their diet. They give you these "freebie points" each week for you to either use on one big splurge (Pizza Hut pizza, anyone?) or to spread out over the week (Starbucks lattes, watch out!).
When would someone be most likely to cheat on their diet?
The weekend! Yeah, Rock on!!!! Okay, not so much rocking going on here with me being a toddler's mom, who would rather spend her free time soaking in a bubble bath with a good book then going out drinking at the bars, but whatever.
I, myself, haven't used the 'extra' points yet. I'm pretending they aren't there so that I don't count on splurging every week. On the website, other dieters will tell you on the message boards that you will not see as drastic results if you use your weekly allowance points each week, so why would you then? Plus, I think of splurging as a 'once in a while' kind of thing. However, if I were to use these 'cheat' points, I would do so on the weekend. By setting my weigh-ins to Thursday, I'm giving my body a chance to rebound from any potential cheat days.
That's enough about the 'weekly allowance' points and my strict avoidance of them. Back to the weigh in. So I weighed myself on Thursday as opposed to Saturday.
I am down a total of 7.4 pounds! Yay!
