Awesome 4 days...

I am so proud of myself. I have remained OP so far the past four days. Now this is pretty awesome for me b/c I have tracked (through email) and gotten in my water, passed up cake, passed up french fries and just feel sooo great. Thanks to my new WW friend Christie and my weigh in friend Jen I know I can do this. It seems as if my life has finally settled down. School is going good, not much tension there anymore. We got rid of Emma's bottle last weekend. Greg and I are doing good. My house is somewhat clean. All of these things attribute to my doing bad and eating like a crazy person. I weighed in at Jen's Wednesday morning, another gain. This time I weighed 233.2, which is 1.2 pounds up from when we first started. I have been OP for 4 days and got on the scale this morning and it read 229.0. That was without any clothes, but it was so nice to see the 220's I have been struggling with the 230's for so long I'm just used to being that. I just want to stay in the 220's for right now and then focus on the 210's. One step at a time, baby steps. If I take on too much, I know I'm only setting myself up for failure.

Food journal from last night
B - 3 egg whites scrambled, 2 pieces of bread, 4 pieces of precooked bacon - 5 pts
L - Wendy's - grilled chicken sandwich (8) chili (4) - 12 pts
S - smores granola bar - 2 pts
D - 3 tortillas (4) 2 oz chicken (2) cheese (3) sour cream (1) taco sauce (0) - 10 pts

29 points, but I've only used 1 flex this weekend.

It's been a while...

Since I've last posted. Jen and I are still weighing each other and I'm 1.2 lbs up from when we started but at least we seem to have gotten our act together. I also have a new friend Christie that is going to join me in emailing me to keep each other on track. She and I seem to have very similar stats and weigh loss/gain patterns. I'm really excited about this. Today I did really well. I did forget my breakfast, but Jen came to my rescue and gave me an oatmeal bar so I avoided going to McDonald's. I drank 6 bottles of water. I think my stressful time is over. A is not at work for the rest of the week so I won't have to think about how she pissed me off last week. I ate a new tv dinner today and it was really good - 6 points but worth it. I went to Subway for dinner and of all nights, the girl put 4 triangles of cheese, which added more points to my sandwich, but what am I gonna say... HEY put those cheese triangles back... So here's my menu for today

B - oatmeal bar - 4 pts

L - smart ones chicken suiza - (6) banana (2) kudos bar (2) - 10 pts

D - subway chicken teriyaki (8) baked lays (3) chocolate pudding (1) - 12 pts

S - 1/4 of world finest chocolate almond bar (2) grapes (not even worth counting)

Total for the day 28 pts.

I did have a NSV - We all got a world's finest chocolate bar this afternoon and I went to my ILs house and gave everyone a piece and only ate one small part. Another NSV was that I avoided the candy jar that is filled with hershery mini bars....

Until tomorrow...
