Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[DisMomme]

I haven't had time to read the last couple days of posts. I hope everyone that celebrated Easter had a wonderful day. I was good and ate extra vegetables instead of other things. Hope it pays off.

I walked today, got in about 6 miles. I hope it off-sets the stress eating. My DMIL went in for "routine" heart surgery today. I never knew how long 4 hours could feel. The Doctor says everything went as planned so that is good.

I'm glad to read that your MIL is going to be OK. Did you walk while waiting for her to get out of surgery? That's a really LONG walk!

HA, yes it would be a long walk. No, I had to work 1/2 a day before going to the hospital and I walked 2 miles there. I work in the PreK and we have a walking club with the kids in the morning before school starts. I probably walked a couple miles throughout the day, you don't sit much with 20 4 and 5 year olds! Then, yes I made everyone get up about every 45 minutes to take a walk at the hospital. I just couldn't sit for that long.

I weighed myself this morning and I'm up almost 4 lbs. You'd think a hospital would have better meal choices but I had spaghetti for lunch. (the only choices were pizza, spaghetti, fried chicken or hamburger/hotdog ) I was starved and ate all of it. When we went down for a snack I chose an orange. A little better. Then we went to McDonalds on the way home. I did not care at that point and got the BigMac.

My weigh-in day is Thursday so better choices between now and then.

I weighed in tonight and lost .4. I am down 9 lbs even over 4 weeks since joining!! I have awhile to go, but I am lower than I've been in over a year, so that's a big plus!!

I think you did a good job dealing with a really stressful day. Too bad the hospital cafe didn't have healthier options for you. Hope your MIL recovers well -- who knew there was "routine" heart surgery?!

Congrats on your loss!

Good morning everyone!!

DisMomme, I hope today is a better day for you ((hugs)). Seeing a loved one in the hospital, routine or not, is very hard.

I went to dinner last night at Bob Evans and had the potato crusted flounder. It is so yummy and it's only 5 points! My sides were fruit dish and steamed broccoli. My only weakness there is the dinner rolls though. I would give up any dessert out there for a nice warm yeast roll with butter! I had 2 and that equalled 11 points (not including butter). Luckily I had 17 points for dinner so it worked out. I was stuffed and I highly recommend the potato crusted flounder at Bob Evans!!

Well, I am considering the eating disaster that was Easter weekend to be a "resetting of my metabolism"! I just flat-out blew it! Tomorrow is another day with no mistakes in it (yet)! (Yes, I got that from Anne of Green Gables. )

As if there wasn't a price to pay for my behavior last weekend...

I am up 2.3 pounds even after a perfect WW day yesterday (glad I didn't get on the scale yesterday morning)!

What is sad is that I have a very important event this weekend where family is flying in to be here and I will be up on a stage for all to see...I really had wanted to look great. Should have thought of that before indulging so heavily for Easter weekend. Sigh...

I made steak fajitas last night and the tortillas I buy are usually 3 points. After dinner I went to input the info online and turns out I bought the wrong tortillas. The ones I ate were 5 points each I had 2 of them. I had enough points, but not as many as I would have liked a glass of wine but it wasn't to be. Makes me realize I need to be more careful when I am putting things in the cart

Glad to hear your MIL is doing ok. Hang in there with your weigh in anything can happen between now and Thursday.

.4 down is going in the right direction

There will be days like this. Just do the best you can. Drink lots of water and maybe try to exercise a little more if you can. Hang in there you can do this.

Yay!! Hubby fixed it. All for the bargain price of $15 . I did some research last night and from what I read it sounded like the thermal fuse. So, I went to the appliance part store today and got the part. DH put the part in when he got home and.....dryer works.

YES!!! Luckily hubby is very handy (he built 2 of our homes in NJ). So, if it can be fixed he can do it. However, this was such an easy fix, I could have done it. Hope it stays "fixed" plus my laundry room got a good cleaning since everything was pulled out.

Yes you would think the choices would be healthier in a hospital. That makes planning very hard so don't beat yourself up about it. (hugs)

That is a great feeling to weight what you haven't in a long time.

I was up too over Easter weekend but this morning I am 1 under my pre Easter weight. My weigh in is tomorrow morning & I have a good plan for today, hopefully I can get in some exercise today as well.

Don't beat yourself up! You did the best that you could given your options and no one can blame you for emotional eating on the way home {{hugs}}.

9 lbs in 4 weeks is GREAT! Congratulations .

Did you look up the points before going into the restaurant? I am shocked that the rolls were that many points!

Don't worry about it! You will look just fine for your big event. Put the weekend behind you and look forward.

Bummer . Which tortillas do you usually buy? I'd like a nice 3-point tortilla that doesn't taste like kindergarten paste.

I started WW on 3/7/11 I have lost 13.8 pounds. I'm starting to feel frustrated because I find its becoming very hard to lose 1 pound. I eat my daily points and only dip into my weeklies by a few.
