I'm on bottle number 7 and I resisted the butterfinger! I also went to the gym and had a decent work out. Glenn made Pumpkin Waffles for dinner and they were great!

Have a great one!

Hi all, hope you are having a good morning. I feel out of sorts. I am worried about my daughter, sad that my son was upset when I left him at the daycare this morning. concerned that people are saying bad things about the daycare I send my kids to, distressed that my new work pants still haven't arrived (by the time they get here they will be too big!), sad that some of my friends might not be at the girls trip in feb, worried I might be getting pink eye, etc. Ugh.

Today's weather just got me in a real bad mood but thankfully that mood pushed me to get real and understand that yes, just one more gummy worm will kill me if that one more gummy worm turns into 5, 6, 7, more.

When I started tracking points on WW I really noticed how fast things like a handful of mints or a few pieces of chocolate adds up.
I'm finding it easier when I'm at work to eat well than when I'm home. I pack my lunch and only eat on my two breaks. At home I sit in front of the computer and snack all day. Also if I don't have enough water I really crave snacks.

I'm watching my dh do the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred video and I have to say it is really getting his heart rate up and he is in good shape! The movements are simple enough though so I might keep it in mind for when I can't get to the gym!

My mom subscribed to Jillian's online program because she can no longer go to the gym because of her back problems. She likes it because the work outs are simple but effective.

Today's food:
Banana
Yogurt
String Cheese
TJ's Pretzels Thins with 2 Laughing Cow Wedges
Mushroom Turkey Burger with Green Salad

I've been hungy today, but I'm still controlling myself. I have a couple of events this weekend, so I know I will be cheating a bit. I weigh in tomorrow, and I'm hoping for a loss. If not, I'm going to be pretty bitter, as I have been trying really hard! I just need to get myself on a real exercise plan, and I'll be good to go.

 

[sahbushka]

NOT a good day today but still ok for the week. I am going to get off my duff and work out.

Later,

Sarah, you're doing a great job!! I'm down about 7 pounds so I feel very motivated. I had a breakfast potluck this morning, lots of not-so-good-food, but I wasn't really hungry the rest of the day and I finally got my 80 oz. of water down so I feel pretty good. I've been trying to get 100 oz. down, but it's harder to do when it's not hot out. When it's hot, I drink LOTS of water. I would SO love to lose 30 by June!!

It's Thursday night, and that means that there are 2 round cakes baking in my kitchen for the kids' cake decorating class tomorrow. Oh, I can't wait for this class to end!! The smell is torture!

Dan and I are beginning to wean ourselves back on to some complex carbs. I had oatmeal again for breakfast and at dinner I had a corn tortilla with beans, chicken, cabbage and salsa. I also had another orange from my AZ tree (Dan shipped up a box).

I'm having a really hard time with the water thing and even Crystal Light isn't appealing to me lately. I gotta figure this one out or I know the scale won't budge!

Good night, ladies!

 

[sahbushka]

Thanks everyone! My goal is to be thin enough to wear a dress this summer! I love dresses but most don't fit me since I am small in the bust and large in the hips and butt. I don't care for skirts too much so it is difficult.

Have a great day!

It is hard when they are little. Try not to worry too much.

Welcome to WW. If you look back a bit on the thread you will see some recipes that I have put up that are compatible with ww. 12 m&m's are 1 point. I make sure to eat a little something every couple hours...for instance...
7am - 1 chewy granola bar, 1 bottle water, 1 multi vitamin (2pts)
10am - 1 string cheese (2pts)
12pm - 1 lean cuisine (5pts)
2pm - 1 small apple (1pt)
gym
5:30pm - dinner
7:30pm - Healthy Choice fudge bar (2pts)

Also I have gum on hand - 5 calories and helps with the oral fixation needs!

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!

Sarah

Thanks for the tips. Love the 12 M&M's. That's a good use of 1 point!

When I read what you gals are eating, it just seems like so little! I am doing 25 points and it seems like a ton of food to me. Of course a lot of what I am planning in is free, like broccoli, so maybe that is it. But I have been super full the last two days. I need to get some sugar free hot chocolate. That really satisfies my chocolate need and keeps me warm!

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Bill and I just set our family fitness goal for Spring to be able to hike comfortably up to Wallace Falls. I also want to be able look in the mirror when I get out of the shower and not go "ewe!".

I love your shower goal, Tracey! I have the same goal, for sure!

I know it seems like I'm not eating a lot (I'm not), but I'm having something every couple of hours, and it's really working for me. I'm also drinking tons of water, so I think that is helping me feel full.

BTW, I weighed myself this morning, and I am down 3 more pounds. I am very pleased, as I am down 8 pounds since January 4th!

 

[DangerMouse]

Good morning friends! I weighed in this morning and finally hit my 10 lb. mark. I'm at 168.5. I know if I was drinking more water that I would lose quicker, so that is my goal for today.

I also did a reeeeaaaaly scary thing this morning. I tried on my swimsuits for Maui. Surprisingly, it wasn't too bad. I'm feeling a TON better about myself and even if I only lose a few more pounds before the trip, I'll be happy.
I'd love to be 163 by the time we leave. We'll see if that happens.

Tina, congrats on 3 lbs! You are doing awesome!!

Sarah, hope today is a better day! You're commitment to exercise is inspiring! That's a toughie for me, especially with my sciatica issues.

Tracey, it may seem like you're eating a lot, but if it's all good healthy food, then it's going to help your metabolism work better.

Stacie, you taking any supplements to help with the dieting this time? Or are you going natural?

I just ate my eggs for breakie and now I gotta find some time to workout today.

Have a good one!

Since I'm super tired, I'm just going second what Callie said in response to everyone.

Congratulations on reaching your 10 lb. mark Callie!

Yesterday was my birthday and I ate SO much. I had bacon, eggs and potatoes for breakfast and a carrot muffin, then I had carrots and cheese, a venti mocha, half a pb&j, then dinner was bread sticks, two martinis, half a hamburger, half of my fries, a slice of cheese pizza and a side of mashed potatoes, followed by cake and ice cream, then I went out and had lots of drinks. I did walk home after the bar so I at least got a little exercise in.

I lost another two pounds, so I'm down a total of 14 now.

Hope everyone has a great day.

 

[Darsa]

OMG Broccoli is 0 points??? Hmm, I may have to re-think this Weight Watchers thing... broccoli's just about my favorite thing ever!

 

[disney-inspired]

I haven't weighed myself in over two months so I really don't know how much I weigh. Today started off poorly when I had about five 100 calorie snack cakes but lunch was much better. I had 5 oz extra lean ground beef and 4 oz cooked brown rice rigatoni pasta. I have a huge juice bottle full of water staring me in the face so I better get to chugging!

Anais gets out soon so I have to go change. I'm going to bring Jingles, park at the school and we'll go walking up towards the new shopping center. It has been way to long since I've had some physical exercise and Jingles hasn't had a walk in over three weeks. She must be dying of cabin fever.

 

[BillyFan]

Callie and Wendy--congrats on your losses! Keep it up girls!

I just ate a piece of brownie, and I don't even feel guilty. It was sooooooooo good!

 

[mommaU4]

Just stopping in to cheer everyone on!!!!

You are all doing great. Keep it up.

Congrats on the 10 pounds! That's a great goal to hit!! How long before you leave??

No supplements this time, just regular food and my vitamins, which I don't always remember to take...

It was your birthday so you can do that As for me, we went out to dinner tonight for my birthday, which isn't actually until Monday. Had salad, garlic bread, wings (too many!) and pizza!! My favorite place to go!! And water to drink!!! YAY!!

Last year at this time, Wendy and I were in Disneyland for our birthdays with Allyson, Melody, Cheryl and Stacie. It was so fun, and I miss that we didn't get to go this time

Today's intake:
Special K Blueberry
Banana
Yogurt with Blueberries and Strawberries
Brownie (just 1, not 1/2 pan like I would have done 3 weeks ago!)
HM Thin-Crust Pizza with Fresh Mozzarella, Basil and Canadian Bacon

I'm going to a baby shower tomorrow at a very yummy Italian Restaurant. I'm going to have to be extra careful the rest of the day, because I know my meal there will not be the best for my diet!
Don't forget your water, girls!
