Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

[robinb]

Good morning,
I did not have a great OP weekend. Went way overboard but back on track now. Weekend was lots of fun but I just did not make the best choices. Since I have lost 30 so far I am starting to want to be done already. I know that this eating plan is for life but Saturday i just wanted to free myself from the burden of counting & planning & I did just that...even had dessert without thinking about it twice. Ok I got it out of my system but I have 30 to go & the road looks soooo long right now.

The important thing is that you are now back on track. We all fall off the WW wagon and getting back on is what's important.

Morning Ladies,

Well since I hurt my foot 3 weeks ago, I have been in an exercise funk - but this morning I got up at 4:45am and headed to the gym - I did 35 minutes on the stationary bike and actually enjoyed it. I read my book as I rode and the time flew by - I didn't burn as many calories as the eliptical or by running, but I earned 3 (almost 4) AP's so that is better than nothing. I am going to do a aqua boot camp class tonight as well. I'm hoping that if I can back into daily exercise, maybe my eating habits will get back in line and back on program.

Today's goal - to stay within my 29 points - no binge eating

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

I'm glad that you have found some exercises that work with your hurt foot. The words "aqua boot camp" scare me ... have fun!

I lost 1.2 pounds this week. a total of 16.2 since 3/7.
3.8 pounds away from my 10%

Yippie! That's a great loss in only 2 months .

Here is my weekend: I had a 31 point Friday, a HUGE 63 point Saturday and a 29 point Sunday. Even though I had a "bad" Saturday I feel OK about the weekend overall. More than half of my Sat points came from the 4 slices of pizza I ate during our "Tron-a-thon" where we had friends over to watch both Tron movies back to back. Since I bracketed the Saturday with two good days and I'll eat close to 30 points the next two days I think I'll be OK for Wednesday's WI.

I had to quit Pilates for the time being. I just can't do it with my continuing ear infection as it hurts and I get dizzy. I took antibiotics, but those only improved things by about 50%. I'm waiting for a call back from my doctor's office. I was able to run last week (W5D1 & D2 of C25K) but I was not able to do Day 3 over the weekend because I felt too sick. I think I might re-do W5D2 today if I'm feeling a bit better. I would like to earn some more AP and keep the C25K program moving along.

I hope everyone is ready for a good week!

It's not like Stephanie to be absent this long... You OK Stephanie?

I've been wondering the same thing! Stephanie we miss you!

Tomorrow is my weigh in day, and I am actually really looking forward to it. I am feeling so much better, both physically and emotionally. Right now, my only issue is working hard to try and get my points in. Most days I am a few points shy, and that doesn't even take into account my activity points.

Are you getting in you Good health guidelines? 2 full dairy servings. 2 healthy oils? I find it hard sticking to ONLY 29 points when I am accounting 4 to 8 of those points to dairy and 2 points to oils.


What I Plan to eat today

Target for today 29 pts

Breakfast 4pts

1 cup FF Yogurt 3 pts
15 gram old fashioned oats (1pt)
1/2 cup blueberries

1 cup watermelon 0 pts

Lunch 5pts

Martins Sliced Roll (2pts)
1oz Roast Beef (1pt)
1 slice WW Cheese (1pt)
10 gr Sensible Portions Apple Straw (1 pt)
Orange (0pts)

Dinner 15pts

3oz 93/7 ground Beef (3 pts)
1 tsp oil (1pt)
1/2 cup classico Sauce (2 pts)
1 cup Smart taste Pasta (5 pts)
1/4 cup part skim ricotta (2 pts)
salad with 1 tsp olive oil and 7g crutons (2 pts)


Snacks 5 pts

Cantaloupe (0 pts)
1 oz Indiana Pop Corn Kettle Corn (3pts)
WW Dark Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream (2 pts)

Boy, I wish I had that problem! I went so overboard yesterday that I have NEGATIVE weekly points (I've never seen that before). I figure I'm at least tracking, so . . . I'll probably see a gain on Wednesday, but I really NEEDED ice cream yesterday.

Anyway, enjoy your honeymoon with WW and seriously try to get your points in so that the plan will work. You don't want to put your body into a starvation mode because then your metabolism goes down and you'll be fighting an uphill battle. Good luck tomorrow!

Awww, thanks guys . I am here and doing ok. I guess just been busy. Hubby and son were camping with scouts this weekend so DD had a few of her friends over for a sleepover. Been also working on making my teacher gifts for teacher appreciation week. Then Sunday was spent drying out camping gear. We had horrible heavy rain on Saturday. DH and DS were in the middle of a 5 mile hike when he hit so everything was soaked.

Had a really good on point weekend but I am up 2.5 today . I am sure it is water weight but still frustrating to see it. Thinking of getting a few sessions with a personal trainer to help with these last LBS. but not sure.

Thanks Robin, good luck for Wednesdays WI.

Good morning friends . Hope everyone's week is going well. I am all out of fruit so off to the store to buy some.

Morning everyone!! First weigh in is this morning!! I am feeling super pumped about it!!! Hoping for 3 pounds, which would be awesome!! Right now I am starving, because I won't eat before weigh in, and my body is used to eating all the time. Thankfully, weigh in is at 11:30. Back in 2003 when I did WW, weigh in wasn't until 5, and I would go alllllll day without eating! This is so much easier!

Afternoon everyone,

Its rainy and yucky here today - and they are calling for more rain tomorrow.

Yesterday was a good day - I stayed OP all day - yippee for me - I know it doesn't sound like much, but to me it is a huge step - ONE DAY AT A TIME!!

Today is going well so far - I was at the gym at 5:30am, did 30 minutes on the bike and about 20 minutes in the pool. It feels so good to get back into a exercise routine - it makes me feel so much better. My plan this week is to get at least 5 days of exercise in.

Going to Target this afternoon to buy a bathing suit - my old one is a two piece and is too big. I want a one piece, the 2 piece one doesn't work to well for swimming laps and water areobic

Nice work with the exercise Tammy. At the gym at 5:30 in the morning is inspirational (not enough to make me do it, but I am awed).

My plantar faciitis is acting up. I haven't been able to run for 2 weeks and it's very annoying. It's not so painful that I can't do anything, so I've been walking and playing tennis. I tried running about a week ago and after 1 mile had to walk; it was pitiful.

Where is Tori-Ann's daily plan for today?!

 

[BabyTigger99]

I am back from my first weigh in....and lost 7.2 pounds!!!! Wahoo!! I figured to be around 3 or so, so I am super excited and motivated to keep going. I still have a looooong way to go, but you can't start without that first step!

OMG that is just amazing. Great start!

I'm up .2 this week. I kinda figured that I'd be up with mother's day, my birthday, and the lousy weather last week. I really wish it would stop raining so that I could get back to running. If this keeps up, I'm going to have to invest in a treadmill or gym membership.

Hang in there. I got a elliptical last November cause the weather wasn't cooperating. I use it everyday but when the weather is nice I go for a run outside.

I'm with you on the weather. It is cold and wet up here. I did go for a walk in the rain on Sunday while it was mostly just sprinkling. It's just not the same as a nice run in sunshine. We have a treadmill, but I'd rather walk or run outside even in not so nice weather.

And, Happy Birthday belatedly!

Good morning friends . Hope everyone's week is going well. I am all out of fruit so off to the store to buy some.

I ran out of everything but bananas on Sunday and didn't get out to go shopping until this morning.

Sounds like you had a busy weekend. We were going to send out a search party.

I weigh in around 9:30/10am but I've always eaten breakfast. I just make sure that it's the same thing every Wednesday and as early in the morning as possible. I dont like being hungry and sometimes hunger gives me migraines.

It's been drizzling here all morning and a little chilly too. Last week I saw my neighbour out sunbathing on her deck and this morning I had my jacket and a sweater on!

Good for you for being able to get up that early to exercise but I'm with Sandi on this one. Exercise wouldn't get me out of bed that early! There's actually very little that will get me out of bed that early.

Sorry you're up today but I'm sure you still made good choices this week.

Sorry to hear that - I'm still having problems with my left foot - I think the added stress isn't helping - some days I feel like I will never be able to walk pain free

sorry about the gain - here's hoping for sunshine for you!
