Tales from the Scale: Back to the Core of things.

Oh my, another Tuesday has rolled around. The weeks go by fast, don't they? Well I was hoping for some good news today, but alas my body doesn't seem to want to agree. 196.2, not a huge gain, but still a gain. I want to say that I was exactly on point the whole week, but I wasn't. I used my 35 flexies and all of my Activity points and maybe a few more. I think where I went astray was on Saturday. I weighed myself in the morning, 193.8 (awesome, right?). Once I saw that number, I gave myself free access to eat more than I should. I did only have 2 beers that night, but there were some nachos that kept calling my name.
As my mom says, it is what it is. Today, as a way to semi-control myself, I went back on Weight Watchers Core plan.

The basics of Core (taken from the WW website)?

Eat from the Core Food List: When you follow the Core Plan, you can eat until you’re satisfied from a list of wholesome, nutritious foods from all food groups. The foods are low in energy density, meaning they’re more filling, and you’ll consume fewer calories. (More on energy density later.)
Know your Comfort Zone: After some practice, you’ll find your personal Comfort Zone, which measures how full or hungry you are throughout the day. The Core Plan teaches you to recognize and respond to your body’s signals of hunger and satisfaction.
Use your weekly POINTS®: Allowance for non-Core Foods. You get a weekly POINTS Allowance of 35 to spend on non-Core Foods that add the variety you need for lasting weight loss. So don’t worry that you’ll never get to eat your favorite foods again.
Follow the 8 Good Health Guidelines: By sticking to our health guidelines, you’ll get the nutrients you’ll need while following the plan.

I have done this plan before and it helped break through a plateau I was having. I'm going to give it another go and see if it won't help me get below 195 for more than a day. Fingers and toes crossed for a good week!
