25/23

Yesterday was fantastic! I got my dishes done, was able to exercise, and actually cooked a full meal. I feel so much more balanced today. I have no plan today though. We're having lunch brought to us today because we're having an office meeting during lunch. I'm a little scared about what there will be to eat but I brought yogurt, an apple and some almonds so if it's bad I just won't eat much of it.

I'm going to go home and do some pilates so that way I hopefully won't be sore the rest of the weekend.

Total NSV today. We had bbq at lunch with potato salad, fried okra, bread and brownies for dessert. I ate the turkey and a little of the brisket with bbq sauce. I'm guessing at 6 points. I looked on DWLZ and most said that it was around a point for an oz of turkey and 1.5 points for an ounce of brisket.

Daily: water, fruits and veggies, protein, NSV, limited sugar alcohol, tracking, 8 hours. 7 today. I totally forgot my vitamin.

_______________________________________________________________
I just felt out of control this week I think because I was not prepared for all my meals. I was literally out of food yesterday except for one WW meal, 2 tortillas and some bell pepper. I rushed on Monday to get home to weigh-in so I could watch the Bachelorette and then that was 2 hours so I felt a little frayed. I have to get DVR again-it makes a huge difference. Tuesday was a great night but I didn't get my grocery shopping done or my dishes washed and I was too tired to mess with it when I got home from Braums. Yesterday I barely had time to eat dinner before I had to look at houses all evening. I just feel like I haven't had a minute to plan or sit and relax and I think that's why I was feeling so panicky yesterday. I thought about my plan though for today's meals last night so that really helped. I didn't have to start digging for stuff this morning-I knew exactly what I was going to do. And planning out dinner feels good because I have a game plan for when I get home and I can allocate points more evenly so I don't have to eat 7 points worth of a snack at night.

Tip for taco bell(because I love it)-if you will get chicken soft tacos with no cheese and put salsa on them they're only like 2.5 points or less maybe. And the rice is low in points too. They used to offer a fresca menu with healthy options but I don't know if they do that. I haven't eaten there since I moved from Stillwater.

Daily: fruit/veggies, water, vitamin, protein, tracking, 8 hours, activity(exercise video-I probably won't be able to walk again), limited sugar/alcohol. 8.

DAY 25-MANDA

I hate having that feeling of being out of control. Why do you think you felt that way yesterday? It looks like you ate pretty well and you didn't use any weekly points.

I hated having to eat Taco Bell yesterday. Everyone else ordered several bad-for-you things though, so I felt really good leaving, except for the fact that I was hungry an hour later. I really dislike fast food for the most part. I never walk away feeling like, "Boy, I am glad I did that." But, that's what happens when you are around other people I guess, lol. I am such a hermit. :)

DAY 23-MANDA

Hey, I am not doing too hot today. Woke up at 4 AM sicker than I have ever been in my life. Have only been able to keep down a couple tablespoons of powerade so far, so I don't know if we should plan on dinner/ice cream. I am hoping this all goes away and the fever comes down soon, because this is miserable.

And I am not counting the points for the powerade, lol.

• piece of toast with fake PB stuff (1)
• piece of low fat mozzerella (2)
• PB&J with fake PB (2)=5/20
• Ice cream...since I only ate 1/2 of what I ordered... (3)=8/20

Well, I am going to say that I limited my sugar and alcohol, I tracked everything, and that is about it...
2 Points!!

Thanks for making my lousy-pukey day better. :)

DAY 22-MANDA

Inspiration to start the day: http://www.weightwatchers.com/success/art/index.aspx?sc=600&SuccessStoryID=9661

So, I commented late last night on your previous post that I think I am off on our points totals. Going to the lake and getting behind really screwed me up. Let me know if you know what I have left off. (you're my number cruncher!)

Today, I am going to add the new daily points that I came up with a while back. If you have any new ones, let me know and I will add them! Also, I need your new goals/rewards!!!! I am going to update my new reward today sometime when I think about what I want, lol.

I am motivated (in general, about life) today. I am going to get a lot done! I need some exercise today too. I've been taking a little bit of time off from really workouts because my right knee was a bit swollen and I was scared I'd just mess it up if I didn't rest/ice it for several days. I have three weeks until school starts, and I really want to be down a few pounds....I am kind of mad at myself because I really wanted to lose ten pounds before school, but I would have to lose like 6/7 more to do that. I HAVE to stay motivated. I am REALLY scared about flaking out when school starts...you can't let me do that, ok!?!? I can't go back to what I was doing last year. It almost gives me a panic attack to think about last semester. Last fall I started out doing so well! I remember people being amazed at how healthy I ate and how I could turn down all of the junk, and that made me feel SO good!!!!! I remember one girl (the one that was appalled at mixing her Chanel shoes and Gucci bag) asking me "Do you really eat this healthy every day?" and after she saw my breakfast and lunch. I told her I did and I felt so GOOD telling her that because it was the truth and she was just amazed, as she looked at her breakfast (a cinnamon roll).

23/23

Weigh-in today. I'm scared but I didn't step on the scale yesterday or today so I guess it will be surprise when I go to the meeting.


WI: I maintained.

I'm glad to have maintained this week. 9 pounds in 3 weeks. I can't be upset about that. I have to try and fit in exercise though. That and make sure to eat all my points everyday. I used to eat whatever I wanted as long as the points fit in the day. Now, I eat a lot of fruits and veggies which is great but I may not be as satisfied as I have been in the past and I think that's making a difference. I'll do my measurements after the Bachelorette! She better pick Ed...or Reid. I heard he's coming back. I would marry either of them.

Inches lost: Hips-1.5
Bust-.5
Arm-.5
Thigh-1

I had no goal so (0). Went to a WW meeting (5). Was on plan all week (5). Maintained (3). Lost inches(3). So 16 for me.
