Back to the grind...

I had much success last week, about 6 lbs down in a week. That's awesome in my book. But I did not do good this weekend. Friday we ate at Middendorf's, Saturday we had Craig's storm and Carsyn's party, Sunday Mom and I ate at Zia's for lunch and fried shrimp and fries for dinner. Back to program tomorrow...

Plan for tomorrow:
B - oatmeal bar (4) - 4
L - panini - (6) pluot (1) LC cheese (1) crackers (2) - 10
D - tilapia (6) rotel (0) mushrooms (1) - 7

21 planned, 7 points to spare.

Water, water, water, water... I haven't drank any this weekend and drank a coke a day which isn't good. We'll see what next week has in store for me. I'm kind of excited to get back OP.

Until tomorrow,

Another fantastic day...

Yet another successful day! I'm still feeling strong. I got on the scale and I've lost, just not sure how much and I'm not all the concerned. I'm going to get on the scale at school Friday and see if I see anything. The last time I got on the school scale it was 238-239ish.

Today I ate:
B - oatmeal bar (4) and a banana (2) - 6
L - 1 1/2 hot dog (1.5) bun (1) chili (1.5) LC cheese (1) crackers (2) 100 cal pack cupcakes (1)- 8
D - panini (6) veggies (2) - 8
S - vanilla wafers (2) mint patty (1) crackers and meat (2) - 5

Total for the day - 27

1 point left so I may go get me something for one point.

Tomorrow's game plan

B - banana and oatmeal bar (6) - 6
L - lean pocket (5) apple (1) pb (2.5) - 8.5
D - panini - 6

Total projected points - 20.5

7.5 to play around with

I'm having trouble with dinner right now, I need to figure out something besides tv dinners. I'm so curious what the scale will say Friday at school. That's kind of my true point. I know what I weighed last school year.

Until tomorrow...

Another happy day :)

So I did fantastic again today. I think this planning thing may work. Okay so it's only day 2 and I'm struggling to plan what I'm going to eat tomorrow. I didn't realize that one of my big problems is planning and not knowing what to eat. I bought a bunch of paninis today and know that always is good for dinner. I'm feeling strong and good about this for the first time in a long time. I just never realized that I'd be happier knowing what I'm going to eat in the afternoon. Here's what I ate today, the quick version

B - oatmeal bar - 4
L - lean pocket (5) apple (1) peanut butter (2.5) LC cheese (1) ritz crackers (2) - 11.5
D - 2 1/2 hot dogs (2.5) 2 1/2 buns (2.5) chili (2) mustard (0) 7
S - pizza at mom's (2) ice cream sandwich (2) 4

I have 1.5 left for today. I drank 4 bottles of water, a diet dr. pepper, and 1/2 coke zero.

Tomorrow's menu

B - oatmeal bar and a banana - 6
L - 1 1/2 hot dogs, bun, chili - 3.5 LC cheese & crackers - 3 - 6
D - panini - 6

That leaves me with 10 points. I may change something up but this is my so far game plan. We shall see.

Until tomorrow...

Success

Okay so today was very successful in my opinion. I did not exercise b/c I am leary of rehurting my foot. It has been hurting today so I'm not chancing that. Foodwise I was definitely a lot better knowing that my day was planned out. I ate everything I planned on yesterday and used 7 of my 6.5 points.

B-oatmeal bar - 4
L-fettucine (5) apple (1) peanut butter (2.5) LC cheese (1) 4 ritz (2) - 11.5
S - chex mix bar (2) 1/2 emma's pudding (.5) 2 homemade ice cream sandwiches (2.5) - 5
D - panini (6) salad w/lettuce, tomato, green pepper & bacon bits (1) dressing (1) - 8

Total for day - 28.5 - I am over by .5 and that doesn't concern me.

Tomorrow's menu

B - oatmeal bar - 4
L - hot pocket (5) apple (1) peanut butter (2.5) LC cheese (1) 4 ritz (2) - 11.5
D - hot dogs (2) chili (1) buns (not sure of, 3) - maybe salad again (2) - 8
S - 6.5 to play around with

I drank 4 1/2 bottles of water and remembered to take my vitamin.

I got on the scale this morning and am not sure what it said. Yep that's right I'm not all concerned right now. I'm going to focus on doing good and next Monday we'll see what the difference is. It's kind of nice having a scale that remembers what you weigh and tells me what I need to lose for 10% to be gone. 225 is the first goal...225...225...225 (chanting)

Until tomorrow...

Starting over...again

Okay so it's been a while since I've blogged. In fact, since I last blogged, I rejoined WW and quit, and also hurt my foot. The foot has been the biggest hinderance of all. I've been unable to do any type of exercise since July 21. I've gained anything I've lost and am back in school. I'm going to try something different this time by preplanning what I'm going to eat the night before. Tomorrow although it is my first day back I'm eating mainly tv dinners. WD has the good ones on sale and I'm going to go stock up. I know I cannot possible eat tv dinners every night but tomorrow I have to b/c I have nothing else to eat. I think I am going to call my friend Jen and get her involved on this. She's told me her problem is at work, eating out. My problem is the opposite, I eat when I get home, especially going to my mom's house. It just hit me that I have four months until I have to order a bridesmaid dress for Sherrie's wedding. I tried on a 22W when we went to that one bridal place and I really don't want to have to order anything larger than an 18W. I can deal with that, but I don't want to be that big. Melissa has lost 7 lbs and 7 inches this past month and I've gained. I have to get my butt in gear. So the game plan for tomorrow is to plan out my meals, have a few points to play around with, and try and do WWTP one mile. I'm going to start off slow and maybe by the end of the week I'll be up to 2 lbs. Greg now knows what I weigh so it's not a secret anymore. One of our speakers at school said that in order to attain a goal and be successful it needs to be written down and visible to remind you what you are shooting for. So my first goal is to weigh 225. Plain and simple 225. I'm not sure what I weigh right now, but I know last week I was 238ish when I got on the scale at school, but that was after lunch. I'm going to bring the new scale in the living room on Monday and Friday and get on it in here where the floor is flat and hopefully will be accurately projected. Okay so my food plan is.....

Breakfast
oatmeal bar - 4 pts

Lunch
Michelina's fettucine - 5 pts
Laughing cow cheese - 1 pt
ritz crackers - 4 - 2 pts
apple - 1 pt
peanut butter - 2.5 pts

Dinner
Lean Cuisine panini - 6 pts

6.5 points to play around with in case I snack at my mom's.

Until tomorrow...
