This week I worked really hard to stay in my points each day and exercise ( 4x this week). However when I stepped on the scale this morning all my high hopes and hard work seemed to be for not as I gained 2 lbs. This is so frustrating to me because I feel like I have been doing all the right things, and I gained weight. It drives me crazy. The only things I can think of that I need to change are the weekends, when I generally dont count points and give myself more free range of what I eat, but I also try to get plenty of exercise to compensate for my indulgence. This apparently isnt working and I need to more careful about what I eat on the weekends. They other thing is maybe I haven't been counting my snacks for the right amount of points. I thought I had been doing pretty well in this area, but maybe not? I always write down everything i eat and at the end of the day I am never over my points, in fact many days I am under. I just really want to get to my goal weight and days like today make me feel like I will never make it happen. :(
