Back on track. 1/2 pound down this morning. I should have stayed away from the skinny cow. Although I was still 2 points under max range. Who knows.

busy day
I think today was a pretty busy day. Church, lunch at IL’s, Target for gift shopping, baby shower at church, shuttle kids to parents, choir, church, shuttle kids back to house, grocery shopping. I think I sat down for a total of 20 minutes today. And I’m still up typing here!
I mentioned being concerned about lunch at ILs today but they had corn, carrots, green beans and roast and FIL even made the comment, this should all be good for your points. Which I thought was nice that they thought of me.
Today I’m strictly under my points and I’m hoping to see that loss tomorrow. Although Heather, who has been on the diet on and off before, insisted I shouldn’t be weighing myself every day, but weekly. And she also highly recommended the meetings which I’ve heard from absolutely everyone. So who knows, maybe you’ll find me at the meeting they have at the Y next week. I do have some questions that have come up. Like why in the world I haven’t pooped in 3 days where I’m normally extremely regular? Is my body in shock? Does it think I’m on vacation or something? Who is this woman and where’d all the sweets go?? Ok, just kidding, TMI, I know. I don’t think I could seriously ask that in a group setting. But I’m wondering about these oils you’re supposed to have every day and which count and why.
Tonight at youth group bible study was really good. St pitched the plan of small groups and teams we’ve been working on for several months as a leadership team and if it helped no one else, it helped me. He encouraged them that they really could basically run the youth group on their own on a Wednesday night except for the pastor and it could remain the same and they can step up during small groups and within their teams and make the thing keep running. I needed that because I needed to hear that this isn’t the end. That there’s hope even without him. As I mentioned though, I wasn’t as worried about the youth group as the church. No mention whatsoever was made that St was leaving in church today. Nothing else exciting happened either. St did the song special and honestly, I sat there and soaked it in, so sad that may be the last solo I hear him sing at our church.
i’ve become a WW monster
The looks and comments my sister and mother were giving me tonight made me realize that, like always, I’m become obsessive about something else. And this time, it’s Weight Watchers. For goodness sakes, I just spent $67 at the store buying carrots and cabbage and skinny cows and flaxseed oil! Who is this person?! I’m looking at calories on everything and asking what type of bread this and what type of cheese is that and how many pieces of bacon did you use? Yeah. I’m taking it to extremes I think. And it’s only Day 4.
no such luck
As predicted, no losses this morning but I’m very happy no gains either. Dinner at IL’s should be tricky as well for today. Not sure what to expect. It’s amazing how disheartening to see no loss even when you’re expecting that.
exactly as planned…
Today unfolded exactly as planned..slept until 9:30, cleaned until 12, gym for an hour, clean a little more and then shower. Kids showed up and we went shopping for my dad’s birthday present. Then off to Texas Roadhouse for yummy food and then Mom’s for birthday cake, which I will repeat myself and say I had none of. She made her white cake/white icing which was so not worth. If it had been her chocolate cake, chocolate icing, I would have used all 35 flex points just to eat a piece.
I’ll be an eternal believer…
if I can go to Texas Roadhouse eat peanuts, bread, blomming onion, salad with ranch dressing, filet and fries and still manage a loss in the morning. Ha! Take that one, Weight Watchers.
Ok, really, I had limited portions of all that, I skipped on the birthday cake tonight for my dad’s birthday and I think I only had to use a couple points of my weekly flex points. But still, this diet rocks of I lose tomorrow.
wow
Another pound down this morning. I’m honestly shocked. Yesterday I stayed within my points but I totally felt like I cheated. This is what I ate yesterday:
Sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast (thought I was going to have to give this up but found a sugar-free variety and used skim milk and it’s only 1 little point)
shrimp, corn and a salad with vidalia onion dressing
grapes for snack
A chicken soft taco with pinto beans on it from Moe’s plus a few chips and salsa. Turns out this is only 4 points. Yay!
Topped off the evening with a Starbuck’s white mocha (non-fat, decaf, no whip). Totally felt like I was cheating on this one especially when I drank it so late at night.
I had prepared myself for no loss this morning and thought how could I get another pound off for three days in a row? But sure enough a whole pound. I literally can only do this for a few more days if I keep going down in pounds like this. I’m just shocked it was this easy. I get to eat Moe’s and Starbuck’s and still lose weight!
shaping up well
Well, it’s shaping up to be a good Friday night/Saturday morning for me. Went swimming with the girls this afternoon after signing off work a little early. When Scott got home, we went to Moe’s where I ate a taco sans the queso and root beer and it was only 4 points. MIL called and had the kids come over to spend the night. Scott and I went and rented Apocolypto and stopped and got Starbuck’s on the way home. Since I did so well at lunch and dinner, I had 8 points left. I think after I finish my white mocha, I still have 2.5 points left but I always like to have a few points left just in case I calculated something wrong.
Tomorrow morning I plan on waking up late, giving my house a thorough cleaning and depending when the kids come home, going to the gym. Yipee!
