Weight Watchers Chat - Part II

I had taken today off....to do nothing but sweat! I have no AC! One bright side....I don't feel like eating.

Ugh, not sure if I have a cold or if it is allergies, but I have been MISERABLE for the last two days!! My throat is killing me, and forget about sleeping!! I am awake every hour or so. Plus, youngest DS is all stuffy too, so he keeps waking up. Blech!

I have a little NSV to report. We went to Red Robin's for lunch today. Before WW's I would get an appy with DH (onion rings, mozzerella sticks or something like that) & the California Chicken Sandwich with bacon, guacomole, mayo & of course the bottomless fries. So I went back & forth in my mind. Be good, no be bad, no be good! Well good (or should I say healthy) won out. I got the grilled chicken sandwich but wrapped in lettuce rather than the bun with a side of mellon. I left happy & not stuffed & had room for 1 cup of Edy's raspberry ice cream for dessert later at home & still well within my points.

Not much, but I am not always able to stay OP when we dine out...too much like a kid in a candy store I guess.

Hope you all had a great day.

Sounds like you got a plan for today. Yes, hot as blazes here in NC too heat index of over 105....ugh. Our new community center opened a few weeks ago and I finally got a chance to go over there today. I ran/walked 4.5 miles on the indoor track which was nice.

Good for you! It was 100 in Indy yesterday with a heat index of 115!! (The last time we saw 100 was in 1988, they said.) I haven't been a bit motivated to walk -- had been so good about walking at least 1.5 miles before work most of the summer and up to 4 miles on a weekend morning. Not this last week!! No end in sight to the heat either...

i lost 2 lbs this week for a total of 68 lbs lost since 1/3/11. woot woot! i still have 58 lbs to go, but im over half way baby!

Oh, my gosh...I'm SO happy for you!! What an inspiration!

Not much?? I'd say that's a major NSV! Way to start your weekend.

BTW, I LOVE Edy's black raspberry ice cream!! My favorite ice cream flavor, and Edy's is super-yummy. I believe it is limited edition, so I've eaten a 1/2 cup almost every night this week (counting the points, of course) before I can't get it anymore...ha!

Happy weekend, all. STAY COOL and safe!!

Well done! That's great

I love your 'crazy' thing and think it's a great idea to have something like that to remember your weight loss by!

I'm 0.8 pounds off this week, a little disappointed not to get a full 1 pound, but at least it's going in the right direction.

 

[mrzrich]

Ugh. I ate everything in the house that wasn't nailed down yesterday.

This morning I feel sick

Great job, and you are correct you are going in the right direction!

take a deep breath, we ALL have been there. Sometimes we just get tired of tracking and doing what we know we should and we go back to old habits. But that was yesterday and today is a new day. You can do it, we all have your back! Hope you feel better too.

 

[cepmom]

Just back from WI...down 1.2 lbs today I wasn't sure how it would go since I was over my points a couple of days but I walked a lot so that must have offset it. We are on vacation this week at the beach ....DH and I will be walking a lot; I mapped out 2 routes for us already so I am hoping for another loss next week. Hope you all are having a good week

Way to go . Have a great time at the beach.

OMG, me too! Lucky for me, there was nothing too unhealthy in the house, so I didn't totally blow the week. (That's the plus side of living alone -- there's no food in my apartment that I didn't bring in myself ) But yeah, I feel like I ate all day and night. Must've been something in the air.

Don't beat yourself up about it. It happened, it's over, and you can regroup! Like a PP said, today is a new day

Cepmom, congrats on your good WI!

Today my bf and I are going shopping -- Costco, Target, and Macy's. I need to buy a suit because on Wednesday I have a job interview!!! I've been out of work for over a year, so I would appreciate any crossed fingers and good vibes you could send my way Of course, it would've been nice to be closer to goal when buying a suit, but at least women's suits are nowhere NEAR the price of men's suits! If I had to spend 700 bucks on a suit in this size, I would not be pleased. BUT I am grateful just for the opportunity to interview for this job, so I'm not complaining at all!

I hope you all have a great day. The heatwave here has broken (somewhat) -- hope the same goes for the rest of you, too!

I have done the samething this weekend. Friday no AC so I didn't feel like eating. AC back on Saturday and I ate and ate plus Sunday. It's so hot outside I don't want to go to the gym or do anything but stay doors and eat/nap!

 

[sjms71]

found this recipe and made it. Now it's not the real thing but not bad at all. So, thought I'd share.

The*Crab*Rangoonies*

PER SERVING (4 "crab*rangoonies"): 140 calories, 1.5g fat, 618mg sodium, 20g carbs, 1g fiber, 2g sugars, 9g protein -- PointsPlus® value 3**

Don't let the name creep you out. What can we say? We love the '80s flick The Goonies! This recipe is too good to pass up...*




Ingredients:*
1/4 cup fat-free cream cheese, room temperature*
2 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese*
4 oz. imitation*crabmeat, flaked*
1 tsp. low-sodium/lite soy sauce*
1/2 tsp. chopped garlic*
2 scallions, finely chopped*
16 small square wonton wrappers (often stocked near the tofu in the fridge section of the market)*
Optional: sweet & sour sauce or Chinese-style hot mustard, for dipping*

Directions:*
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.*

To make your filling, combine all ingredients except wonton wrappers in a bowl, breaking up the cheese wedges as you add them. Mix until uniform. Set aside. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray and set that aside as well.*

Lay two wrappers flat on a clean, dry surface. Spoon a heaping 1/2 tbsp. of filling into the center of each wrapper. Moisten all four edges of each wrapper by dabbing your fingers in water and going over the edges smoothly. Fold the bottom left corner of each wrapper to meet the top right corner, forming a triangle and enclosing the filling. Press firmly on the edges to seal. Repeat with all remaining wrappers and filling, gently placing each*rangoon*flat on the baking sheet.*

Spray the tops of the wontons with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes, carefully flipping halfway through, until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly.*
MAKES 4 SERVINGS

Ugh, I know how you feel, I did the same thing last weekend! Back on track now, thank goodness. I didn't go to my meeting last week because we were having a huge dust storm, so hoping to not have a big gain tomorrow.

 

[Holly324]

I had a fabulous weekend! Family reunion in Galena, IL. Lots of family time, games, swimming with the kids, shopping, all kinds of fun stuff! We had an amazing time!! Bad news, I so did not stay on plan. Trying not to get down on myself. Back on the wagon tomorrow!!!!

This week should be kinda difficult to stay on plan. We are moving this weekend, and we pack up the kitchen tomorrow. I don't quite know how I am going to stay on plan without being able to cook my own dinner. We still have a microwave, so that will help, but I see us eating out a whole lot. Should be an interesting week!

Quiet on here today. Sounds like some of us had a tough time this weekend staying on track. Hope everyone is back on course this morning. here's hoping we all have a good week.

Yes Stephanie, I'm with the crowd that had a tough weekend. I just did way too much snacking on foods that were not fruits and veggies. Today is a new day and so far, so good. It is always easier for me to stick to the program during the week. The weekend was so bad that I see a gain in my Wednesday WI future.

I behaved myself this weekend but I don't know if I can hold out much longer.
