A more typical day

Caught some flack for yesterdays food selections. Again, I wanted to clarify that it was not a typical day. Today was more typical. I still have 8 points left but am not really hungry. I may eat a plum.

Today's menu:

Breakfast:

1/2 cup egg beaters with 1/2 cup of peppers, fat free cheese omelet Granola 5 points



Lunch:

southwest chicken and rice with fat free sour cream, mixed veggies and 1/2 cup of yogurt

11 points

Evening:

2 soft tacos on fat free shells with fat free beans and lettuce 9 points

1 cup fat free yogurt with fresh berries 3 points


Anytime:

Melba toast with laughing cow cheese 3 points

pickle 0 points

1 ounce fat free pretzel 2 points

rice cake with 1 tbsp of peanut butter 3 points

Total points : 36 points

Total Water: 7 - 8 ounce servings

Activity points : 1 point for 15 minutes of low intensity yoga and walking

Here we go

Okay, this is the perfect day to start this experiment because as of this time (9:00 pm) I am within my points and I know I made terrible selections. The holiday had a bit to do with that but I could have made better choices. Lets see if a trend continues:

Time to Punt

I have been busting my butt trying to get the yard in shape for my daughters High School Grad party so I have not posted in a few days. I have also not written a thing down that I have eaten. Although , it has not been much. No TIME!!!

I lost .4 pounds this week and have decided that I need some direction so for the next seven days, starting tomorrow, I am going to post my dietary intake on the blog each day and in the Guys on a diet section of the WW message boards so I can see if any one has any insight as to what is going on. No lies, No omissions. I need answers. I just want to make sure that I am not looking at something wrong. See you tomorrow and thanks for the support

weigh in eve of week 12

twelve weeks and only 18.4 pounds. I expect big success this week..... I need to get back on a roll

short

can't type much. Been painting woodwork (white) all night. My arm hurts and my hand is cramping up from holding a paint brush. The good news is I can not lift food to my mouth........

That is all I have to say about that

It has been a good week so far. I feel like I am getting more activity in and learning a bit more about my body. I sat in a conference room tonight with a client and did not notice till I glanced over that they were going to install a new mirror in the room. It was leaning against the wall and gave me a perfect full length side view of my body sitting down..... OH MY GOSH..... that is about a years worth of motivation...........

One of my good friends and co workers is trying to follow along with WW with me. He joined on line and follows the plan (most of the time) I witnessed an emotional eating today that really put a vivid picture in my mind. I know I am an emotional eater but saw it in someone else and think that I might be able to recognize that in myself a bit more. He was having a conversation that had some controversy. He walked away with his cell phone in hand, came back 3 minutes later with food in hand. All this less than an hour after lunch. It was nothing more than an emotional outlet because he was pissed off and he dealt with it by eating...... I point this out and he agreed........ I hope I can learn......

another productive day

Did a ton of work around the house today. Thought I went overboard because we had Arbys for lunch. Did not know it was coming but ate what was brought. ALL 21 points for a roast beef and a few curly fries. Not at all worth it..... but because I was so busy I did not have time eat all day and go over on points. That is the good news......... Super big on plan this week with lots of activity. That is my goal and I am sticking to it........
