Wednesday July 5th

Breakfast: vanilla Chobani yogurt w/strawberries and blueberries = 3 points = 188 calories

Lunch: subway turkey sandwich (7) and sour cream and onion baked lays (4) = 11 points= 450 calories

Total before dinner= 14 points = 638 calories

Dinner: Caution - Wednesday is my splurge night and me and Betsy did it up right. I had a salad and 2 pieces of pizza at the Wedge. Then we had drinks at Purple Bar. I had 2 white sangrias (so good!) and then we topped off the night with a cuppies and joe cupcake. Do I have any idea what all of that was calorie/point wise? No. Could I have done better? oh yes. Could I have done worse? Oh yeah. I probably should be a little more careful but I look forward to Wednesdays to just kick back and do what I want and tonight was great so no regrets. I really wanted to come home and run though and I just now got home so I have my alarm set for 5:45 so I can do my 30 minutes of running before I get ready for work. My foot is a little sensitive still but I really want to run so I will just try different shoes and see how it goes.

Edit: So I went ahead and calculated everything because it was bugging me not too. It looks like dinner was around 29 points so that means I used 14 extra points today. We get 49 bonus for the week so I guess that's okay. It's an extra 600 calories that I shouldn't have had but if I only do it one day then exercise and everything I guess I shouldn't have any guilt. You can tell that I'm trying to make myself feel better which means that Weight Watchers has hooked me again and I'm trying to be perfect on it. This is when a cheat night is good...to remind myself that I can still do what I want and have results like I want. I just can't splurge often.

So something amazing happened this morning. I am wearing a skirt that I haven't worn since my very first years of college. I took a pic. I will post at work later when I get a chance. Woohoo!




In other news I went to weigh-in today and I'm down exactly 1 pound. That's 9 pounds lost so far. 9 pounds in 11 weeks. I'll take it. 15 weeks until my birthday. 17 pounds to go until I reach my weight goal. So if I could maintain that kind of loss and have 2-3 really goods week in there I could be at my weight goal by the big 2-6. However, I have to admit that the exercising and noticing the changes in my body is better than any number on the scale. It's nice to have the scale reflect it but if I had to take looking/feeling better over a higher number then I would be okay with that.
