Good thing I don't have any cupcakes in the house!

Are the smart ones any good? I downloaded some coupons to try them. I usually do not buy frozen meals. But in a pinch could be handy.

I made it through the day with tasting a bite of mac and cheese I made for the kids. Sheesh! When i am at school and busy out of my house, I do so much better then working from the house.

Tomorrow is my long day at school, should be another great day. Plus I have a dr. apt friday. I hope he notices I lost weight.

I haven't peaked once at my weight this week. Trying a new strategy.

The Smart Ones are ok. I buy them to have for lunch at work and pair them up with a salad and a piece of fruit. Hospital cafateria food is EXPENSIVE that's why I buy them. I also keep some at home when I'm in a pinch and don't have time to make a proper meal. The Progresso soups are pretty good too..or Campbells Soup at Hand aren't to bad either and low in points.

I always look at the proper portion sized Smart One's (or similar) and think, "shoot,I could eat five of those!"

When I'm on my game (LOL), my favorite snacks include something protein, like low fat string cheese and a can of V8 juice. Beefjerkey, cottage cheese, nuts, greek yogurt, etc. For some reason, including protein keeps me feeling fuller and more statisfied for longer.

Monica, you are a saint for not tasting the mac n cheese.
I do better outside the house too. Busy is better than bored when it comes to dieting!

The hospital I work at is spendy too. They stock some nice fruit, though, for 75 cents. Fruit is "free".

I love those Progresso soups! Paired with a side salad, I'm stuffed and then can "splurge" a bit at another meal. 29 points are hard to spread out!

OK, I think I'm back in the mode of taking it one day at a time and actually USING the ww tools online I just have to get through this 13 hour work day 6AM-7PM and have my 4 day weekend with my kidsto look forward too. I REALLY need to take it easy and rest. My bladder surgery 2 weeks ago has wupped my bum.

Does anyone else watch FoodNetwork when dieting? Last night I was GLUED to that channel...not healthy stuff being shown, believe me.

They always have it on at the gym. Just to add insult to injury.

I'm hoping my weight tomorrow is what it was this morning. It was my lowest in a long time. Crazy, because I have been having to jump on the exercise bike every night just to have enough activity points to cover what I've eaten that day. The crab feed last Sat. followed by Super Bowl used up all of my bonus points. I've also been trying to do a little weight training to keep my metabolism up.
Happy weigh in my friends.

Good Morning!

I'm -1.4 lbs, but I had that crazy 4lb gain last week so I'm still not back at where I was. It's a start though.

Just when my mouth was starting to feel normal and pain free again, I went to the dentist yesterday to get the perm crown put on. Not fun. It doesn't hurt hurt, sort of just aches a tiny bit and feels very weird. My gum around the tooth is a little puffy, but the crazy sensitivity to cold went away, thank goodness. Hoping it will just take a few days to get used to it. I miss my old silver filled tooth.

Happy weigh in and TGIF! I thought Friday would never come this week!

 

[::Snow_White::]

Woohoo! I forgot how good it feels to see those negative numbers on the scale!
I am -3 lbs my first week back, feels great!

Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[dwheatl]

I was down .9 on Friday, at my lowest in a long time. However, we were leading a retreat all weekend, and I ate a lot. I did get out and hike some, though. We''l see what next Friday brings.

 

[UtahMama]

I have no idea what my weight is at the moment! LOL!
I have to say that other than my 2 glasses of wine for Valentines Day, I've been a SAINT. Surrounded by pink frosted goodies and chocolates too!

Work has been slammed, but AS SOON as I am able, I will get on the scale.
I dont feel as "heavy" as I did last week. I feel muuuuuch better, so I am looking forward to it.

Hi All,
Not so good eating wise last week. Went to WW last night up +1.6! Back on track today! Lots of water! Have a great day everyone!

I'm planning a Disneyland trip! I swear that is half the fun. I'm on the Disneyland forums digesting it all. It's been a few years since my kids have gone.

Knowing this, I HAVE to drop some weight before we go (late summer, I'm thinking) with the prospect of being photographed. That silly thing alone will light the fire to get some weight off. Travis (my bf) is has a runner's body and I feel all frumpy next to his fit-ness.
This will be our first "family" trip!!!!

Ohhhh are you doing a PTR??? and TR?? Loved all your others!!! Please do one!!!!

 

[LMO429]

wendy you must to a pre trip report!!! I am so excited you are going back to disneyland.

I went to disneyland back in oct 2008 for part of my honeymoon I loved disneyland. I plan on going back once all the updates have been totally completed at california adventure.

This week eating wise for me has been horrible. think i am putting way to much pressure on myself that I am not a certain weight by a certain time meanwhile I think I sabotaged myself.

trying to refocus today and get back on the bandwagon..warm weather is going to be here before we all know it. Im sick of hiding in the house because of how i feel

Yes, please do a pre-trip! I loved reading your past reports!

I would love to visit DisneyLand sometime. Honestly, though, I feel like I would be disppointed since I visit WDW so often and DL is smaller. Plus the cost of flying across the country is a little much. I will get there someday though!

This is me! Plus I let one "bad" meal sabotage the rest of my week. I've been doing whatever I want this week for no reason at all that I can think of. I hate that I can't stick with it for more than a few days.

I want to book it for late Summer, before kids go back to school.

ME THREE!! I am so bad for this. I will also let one bad day turn into eat-whatever-I-want that night, and then that turns into another backsliding week... sigh.


I want to go to DL someday too, but I have the same issues that you do. We have APs and go to WDW 3-4 times a year, and DL is a plane ticket, tickets, etc.

My dream is to do the DL half marathon some year and get the coast-to-coast bling. I have a free flight on SW this year (thanks work travel!) so the flight would be free, but DH has never been to DL either and would be mad if I went without him (WDW is our "thing"), so I don't think it will work out this year unless I come into money!

Feeling VERY frustrated with my Lean Cuisine portions. I swear, I can eat 2 entrees. I feel all jipped...like Im gonna starve to death! LOL. My solution is to make a nice big salad filled with freebies (zero points) to also eat.

I had stocked up on the Lean Cuisines and am down to the last ones (hence the least desirable...the lasagna goes first ) but dont think I'm wanting to do frozen boxed meals for a while. Time to branch out to CANNED meals (JK).

I know how hard it can be to have a healthy dinner ready when life/work etc get in the way. I use to eat lean cuisines all the time but before my wedding I swore off these processed foods. the sodium alone in these packaged meals are extremely high. You are better off possibly making grilled chicken in bulk for the week and tossing it in a salad or cuting up some vegetables and making a stiry fry then eating lean cuisines trust me you will feel more satisfied eating real food than eating anything processed.

here is an interesting video about the food industry and processed foods there are a bunch of videos this is just one part:

I'm having a hard time staying on track this week, too. We had the retreat last weekend, and leave for our cruise to Cabo this weekend, and instead of being sensible and trying to take off last weekend's mistakes before the trip, I'm in a why-bother mood. then I feel guilty, go back and track it, then try to burn off enough points to make up for it. I guess that's better than not trying at all, but come on now. I even ate a piece of Russell Stover chocolate tonight = total cr@p!
I am super-excited about our trip, and I really need it this year. This is the toughest class I've ever had. We had a big, district-wide math test today, and my lowest kids got 100%. However, two of my highest kids flubbed a totally easy question. One counted 1 square and wrote the number 3, the other counted 2 squares and wrote the number 3. I guess it would not be right to yell at 5 y.o.s and tell them to get their heads out of their behinds, but it sure is a temptation.
It's stupid, really, and in a perfect world, I would just say, "Look, honey, you did a sloppy job, and next time you need to think about what you are doing." But now, with No Child Left Behind, it's "Let's test them up the wazoo and have the teachers report and compare how all the kids do on their tests," and it is really stressful. These scores go on a district website that is available to the public, not with the kids' names, but with my name.
OK, I guess that was a vent, but it was better than another piece of cr@ppy chocolate.

Wendy- about Disneyland! Don't forget the Anaheim Plaza has the cheapy two-room family suites with fridge and micro. They have a huge pool and hot tub, and they are right across from the entrance on Harbor.
I also see the Days Inn Anaheim West on Expedia for cheapo. They have a nice breakfast, cute pool (semi-Mickey shaped) and a free shuttle (they're just the other side of the freeway, so you could walk, but the shuttle's great when you're tired). You probably already have a place picked out, but I got so excited for you, I couldn't help myself!
