I was able to get in the 3 mile WATP and 50 sit ups today .

On Tues 8/12 I did the 3 mile WATP and had points left over. I could have done better with points this week (well 2 days could have been better) but I'm back on track. Weigh day is tomorrow Wed 8/13 so I'll see how I did.

 

[cinmell]

Today was weigh day and I lost 2 lbs which brings my total loss to 12.2. I was surprised I lost anything because I slacked on points for two days but I did WATP often so that helped me. I was feeling lazy today but around 5:00 I felt guilty b/c I'd been a couch potato so I did the 3 mile WATP and now I don't feel so bad. I hope to stay on track this week and the weather is finally going to be sunny starting tomorrow so I can get out in the fresh air and walk!

Today I went walking for 50 minutes and it was very hot out. I went one point over in points but it was covered by earned activity points.

 

[cinmell]

I had 2.5 points to bank and didn't exercise today . I had a doctor's appointment today and their scale said one pound more than mine at home but I did have on shoes and all clothes at the doctor's, at home I usually just wear a tshirt/underwear when I weigh in.

Today I didn't feel like following any weight loss plan at all. I'm doing well with points so far today but it's been hard and I just want to snack. So I decided to have carrots and crystal light and then I did the 3 mile WATP. I'm glad I did it especially since we are going out for dinner tomorrow for a relative's birthday at Maggianos which is going to be a total killer on points.

This hot weather can be good because it sometimes makes me lose my appetite but on the other hand can be bad b/c I need to make sure I have at least the minimum points and it's also hard b/c I hate to cook in hot weather which means take out for supper. Luckily, pizza is only 4 points a slice so I might plan on that tonight.

Saturday I went a little over on points due to french fries . No exercise yesterday and I know I went over on points b/c we went to Maggiano's for dinner so that wasn't good point wise. Today I have my points planned to stay on the low side and I just did the 3 mile WATP. Hopefully I'll stay on track from here on in.

 

[cinmell]

I went over my points by 1 and I walked for 1 hour today. I hope next week is better with points than this past week, I slacked for the last part of the week.

 

[cinmell]

I kind of slacked on points for the end of last week, however, I did try to exercise more than I had been. I went back to recalculate my weight loss for the past month b/c I got a new digital scale and I was rounding up sometimes. I lost 2 lbs. last week. Which brings my total loss to 13.2. I need to lose 8.3 lbs reach the goal of my first 10% loss and I need to lose 2.8 lbs to move into the next (lower) point range.

Even thought I slacked a bit on points this past week I lost 2 lbs and I credit that to the exercise. I hope to do keep up the exercise this coming week and be a little more strict with points.

**Did 3 mile WATP and stayed within point range (including earned activity pts) with .5 to spare.

I did the 3 mile WATP this morning and I only used 3 points for breakfast (not too hungry this morning) and I plan on using 6 for lunch, 2 for an afternoon snack and not quite sure what I'm going to do for dinner. I'm trying to do better with my points this week!

I earned activity points for WATP and I had 8 points banked at the end of the day.

 

[cinmell]

I did the 3 mile WATP this morning and I'm on track with points so far for the day. I'm trying to keep them low and earn extra activity points b/c I'm going out to eat tomorrow night so I'll count that as my cheat night.

 

[cinmell]

I didn't exercise today or yesterday. Last night I went to Outback for dinner so that was my cheat night for the week. Today I stayed within points but used the full amount. I plan to do the 3 mile WATP tomorrow and stay in low point range.

 

[cinmell]

I did the 2 mile WATP and stayed within points with 3.5 to spare. I like the 3 mile WATP better but was kind of short on time today.

 

[cinmell]

No exercise today (so far) and tomorow is weigh day. So far so good with points and tomorrow is weigh day. I'm hoping to have lost 2 lbs. but I don't know if I made it. I'll find out in the morning.

 

[cinmell]

Today is weigh day and I lost 1.6 lbs which is just shy of the 2 lbs I wanted to lose for this week but a loss none the less and I'm happy. I did the 3 mile WATP this morning and it felt good to do. I plan to be in the next points range next week so we'll see how that goes.

 

[cinmell]

I did the 3 mile WATP today and I'm doing okay with points. I'm starting the new flex points program today and in order to stay at target, I can have a 5 point dinner without going into the extra allowed points. I don't want to dip into those so early in the week.

Thank you!

Yesterday I started the new flexpoints system. I wanted to stay at the new target points and not dip into the extra 35 that are allowed but I went over a little which was okay because the amount I went over was covered by earned activity points. I'm going to try to not go beyond that target today. I did the 3 mile WATP this morning and points seem to be on target but who knows come dinner time .

Well, I didn't exercise yesterday and I'm probably not going to today. We had to go to RI for a cookout yesterday which I did pretty good at food wise. This week has been my worst week so far since I started back on WW. I have no interest in keeping track of points but I know i have to. I was really losing my will power until the cookout yesterday. My future sister in law had ordered a couple of bridesmaids dress possibilities and they came in. My cousin tried it on and that just re-enforced how much I need to stay on track. It's an a-line dress which is good, but it has spaghetti straps (ugh) which I'm not thrilled about but it is a nice dress. I really need to keep up with WATP and points. It's been difficult lately b/c we are looking to buy a house which means a lot of open houses and viewing appts. so since we are out, we take advantage of having a babysitter and go to eat . I do however make different choices of what to eat than I would have 3 months ago, but still, I'm having more points than I should.

Weekends seem to be when I lose control and motivation to exercise. I hope I can get back on track tomorrow and I am already setting myself up for a small weight gain this week . I should print a picture of the dress and hang it up around the house!!!!!!!!!
