Cindy's journal

Here's a bouncy for your 1 pound loss! I don't know what to do for that other .2 pounds but CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I did the 3 mile WATP and did pretty good with points considering I went to dinner. I did much better than I thought I would. I made breakfast and lunch low points knowing I would be eating out for dinner and snacked on carrots. As long as I continue to plan out meals and exercise I'll do pretty good, even if I slip a little with points.

I just finished the 4 mile WATP and my legs are burning! But, I'm glad I did it. I plan on a low lunch and a bigger dinner so hopefully I'll stick to my points but I do have activity points to cover if I go over.

I did the 4 mile this morning and I finished all my errands and cleaning and my daughter was wathing a Mickdy Mouse video so this afternoon I decided to do the 2 mile because I was bored. Never again will I do WATP twice! I'm quite sore so I'm sure I'll be skipping it tomorrow.

I didn't exercise over the weekend b/c I was so sore from doing the six miles on Friday. I did ok with points. Went to a Patriots party yesterday and lukily several fo the people there are on WW so thing things we all made we made with fat free or light ingredients. It really helps to have a group of people with the same goals.

I did the three mile WATP today and I'm on target with points, I hope to keep it up this week.

 

[cinmell]

Just did the 3 mile WATP and have my points planned out for the day. Tomorrow is weigh day and I'm not sure how that's going to go b/c there was a day or 2 I really didn't keep track of points, but I didn't go overboard either.

 

[cinmell]

I did the 3 mile WATP today and points are good. Today is weigh day and I gained .40 pounds (got to love that digital scale ) so it wasn't that bad.

 

[cinmell]

I have been a little concerned about the amout of points I was giving myself for activity. I was originally counting them as moderate then switched to high. After asking others what they count WATP points as (high vs. moderate) I think I'll start counting them as moderate again just to be safe. I wasn't quiete sure what to count them as b/c the definitions on the points booster stated that an example of moderate would be walking fast and high would be activities that make you sweat which the three mile does! I'll switch to moderate this week and see if that makes a difference in my eating and weigh in next week.

Maybe if I switch the activity points amounts and do a better job with cheating when I get a bad case of the munchies I will lose this coming week.

 

[cinmell]

No exercise today and to top it off, I went 10 points over my range! I don't know why but I've been in a bit of a rut with the weight loss plan. Maybe now is the time to give the flex points plan another shot so I can dip into the flex points to cover the 10 point blunder! Tomorrow is another day.

Cindy, {{ hugs }} to you! I know what you mean about that rut in the eating plan. We all hit those low points and they are TOUGH!! Try to remember, though, that those feelings are usually temporary - they'll pass.

I can't help you with the WW points, since I low-carb, but there are lots of people on the WISH board who do WW. Maybe you can ask some questions there and get lots of help from others that are struggling with the same plan and the same issues.

I know you'll get through this! Keep up that good WATP exercise! I tried the 3 mile the other day - it's quite a workout!! I went back to my 2 mile yesterday! If you're doing the 3 mile, then you must be getting some great exercise!!

 

[cinmell]

Thank you Doreen! You are always so quick to provide motivation and support, thank you!

So far so good today. I did the 4 mile WATP and I actually enjoyed it. My 2 year old daughter was watching one of her favorite videos so I got to enjoy the peace and exercise time. I had a 4 point breakfast and I'm not feeling hungry or sluggish and no Pepsi! I know it's only 10am but hey, I wanted it and didn't have it. Hopefully the rest of the day will go well. I'm just going to take it day by day and be extra conscience of what I'm eating/drinking and how much.

Awesome exercising! Some days are tough but we get through. Stay focused and hook up with the other ww wishers. You are doing great

 

[cinmell]

Well, I didn't do too much over the weekend meaning no exercise. But, I did do the 3 mile WATP today. I haven't been feeling well, ears and throat but I'm thinking it's allergies. Anyway, I took time over the weekend to go back and review my WW food journals and even though lately the days I was within point range, I wasn't eating the best food, not making great choices.

I plan to stay on an exercise plan doing WATP 5 times a week and I've replaced snacks in the fridge and pantry with carrots, rice cakes, etc. I realized that even though I would have chips with lunch and measure them out for low points, I was still picking at them before I measured any and before I put them away and if I gave some to my daughter. Those little things add up so I also have to work on picking.

Also, I've done WW twice in the past and realized that 2 to 3 monts into it is when I quit each time. I've been doing this since July 16th and I guess this 2-3 months point is where it gets difficult or "old" for me but I'm sticking with it this time. I know I can do it and I just have to work and it and change my ways. I've realized the things I have to fix, now I just have to actually fix them (easier said than done).

 

[cinmell]

Didn't feel much like exercising but I did the 2 mile in order to keep on track with my goal of exercising 5 times per week. Points have been great so far and if I stay on track like I plan to do, I'll be in good shape. I may give the target points one more try this coming week. Tomorrow is weigh day and I'm not expecting a loss due to slacking on points and cheating by way of picking a lot and, this isn't the best week of the month for me to weigh so I'm looking forward to next week.

 

[cinmell]

Today is weigh day and I was down .6 lbs thanks to the digital scale. That brings total loss (after a small gain and staying the same) to 17 lbs. That brings me to 4.5 lbs to go to reach my first 10% loss which is my next goal (I hope I've been doing my math correctly!). No exercise today because I'm not feeling well at all. A couple of days ago I thought I had allergies but now I think it's a cold, I feel it in my chest, head and throat. I hope to feel better tomorrow to get back to WATP.

I did well with points yesterday and I'm on track today so hopefully I will keep it up this week. I'm just going to take this weight loss plan week by week and set small goals.

I did the 3 mile watp today and points are going really well. I was food shopping and picked up carrots and celery for when I get in the snack mood and they had a great looking salad bar so I decided to try that for lunch. It was good, but not as good as was when I used to put all the extra goodies in the salad such as some pasta salad, tons of croutons, dressing and lots of chopped up egg. Salad was pretty blah today but it was still ok.

 

[cinmell]

I did pretty good with points yesterday. I wasn't sure what to count dinner as (at out) but I estimated and stayed in range, at least I think I did. Today I did the 2 mile and had a low point breakfast and still feel pretty energetic. The weekend is here which is one of my weaknesses but I "plan" to be good.

 

[cinmell]

I went walking for an hour this morning and points are ok. I have a wedding tonight so hopefully the dinner will be something that won't ruin my points for the day, at least not too much. I'm trying the flex points again this week so I'm hoping that will help me today.

 

[cinmell]

I did the 3 mile WATP earlier and points are on track. Not quite sure how I did over the weekend with points b/c we went to a wedding. I didn't eat much of the main course but I'm not sure what to count the ceasar salad as and one or two other things. I'm not going to worry about it, I'm just going to move on and try to stay on track.

 

[cinmell]

I just finished the 4 mile WATP and my walk away belt broke . Anyways, I did great with points yesterday with 2 left over. I plan on doing well with them today too. Tomorrow is weigh day and I think I'll have loss but I'll have to wait and see.

 

[cinmell]

Today is weigh day and I'm down 2 pounds this past week which brings my total loss to 19 pounds . I have 2.5 lbs to go to reach my first mini goal of my first 10% loss.

I did the 4 mile WATP this morning and points are well and I have them planned for the day. As long as I stick with them I'll be okay.
