Extraordinary Faith for Everyday Life
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.
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!
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!
Another pound down this morning…wow!! Put a huge smile on my face. I don’t remember the last time I was excited to wake up and step on the scale in the morning.
Tonight was very busy. Scott’s family came over for cookout/pool party for SIL and nephew’s birthdays this week. At 8:30 J and a graduated youth group member picked me up and we headed to see License to Wed. I’ve been wanting to see that since it came cause “I love Jim”. It was a really funny, cute movie. Not sure it is a must for the theaters, but definitely worth checking out.
Before I fall in bed…one note about Day 2 of the “i’m not really on weight watchers” day. I worked out so I got 3 extra points today but I don’t think I used them. Here’s what I had:
coffee (with splenda this time)
slice of 2% cheese
caesar chicken salad from Wendy’s (uh, big no-no apparently. the dressing was 14!! points..i only ate about 3/4 of the salad though)
Literally 5 grapes for snack
Shrimp and corn for dinner
Handful of grapes for snack tonight
And all water to drink..I even got water at Wendy’s. Wow. I better be down another pound tomorrow, I even skipped on the birthday cake.
I wasn’t extremely serious about saying I was going to start weight watchers but I ended up doing it yesterday. St is on it and has lost 10 lbs in just one week. So Sh got me pumped up yesterday talking about it. Anyway, I was down over a pound this morning! Yipee! My hope is I only have to do this for a week or two and then maintain. This is what I ate yesterday:
Coffee for breakfast with sugar so I had to count that
A slice of 2% cheese for snack (if you can call it a snack)
Tuna sandwich for lunch
Ham sub from Subway for dinner with a 1/2 pack of light potato chips
Nature Valley trail mix bar for snack
Drank water all day
I can’t/don’t want to do that for the rest of my life but I can do that for a little while.
