Must be a Laura thing....

I went off course tonight too, but it's my once in a blue moon girls night out, and all told, I dont think it was too bad, although I really didnt need a 4th rum and coke... (planned for 3... lol) I did spend 100% of my weekly bonus points in one swoop. ha

Soooooooooo that means, extra water for me tomorrow, and I'll stick to veggies as my snack again, instead of fruits... and we shall see what Sunday (weigh in day) will bring.

I'm up 0.8 today...but I'm pretty sure I know why! Last night I had planned on chicken stir-fry for dinner, but the little guy begged and begged for Burger King. He had been a very good boy that day, so I said yes. I stayed within my points, BUT, that sodium....

Hopefully the scale will go down next week, my last weigh in before our trip! I was hoping to be down 15 total, I'm at 13 now. I feel great where I am, so even if I don't make my 15 pound goal, my shorts fit again!

I use eTools and love the iphone app as well.

I arrived at WDW today, and am staying until Tuesday. Basically, we flew across the country today.

I brought light Brie (from Trader Joes) and had that with crackers and some low call snacks on the plane (Southwest)

Our first night (tonight) is in Celebration, at the Bohemian Hotel. We ate at a place down the street, and I had 1/2 pound of peel and eat shrimp and some Boston Baked beans. DD wanted to go to teh ice cream store and she and my mom got ice cream, but I didn't. YEAH!!

I am going to try and be really good all week, but I kow that some choices will be rough.

Hey Julia, have a magical time . Do the best you can but enjoy. Check in with us if you can. I'll be there in 2 weeks, can't wait.

Well it took 9 weeks, but I had my first full-on BINGE tonight .

I had a nice meal at my sister's house - chicken cutlets, baked potato, spinach and unsweetened applesauce. After dinner, I make cookies with my nieces and nephew and had two of them (had pre-pointed them, so that was OK). My sister sent me home with a chicken cutlet to add to my salad for lunch tomorrow.

When I got home (about 10:30 pm), I went to put the chicken in the fridge and it just smelled so good. I thought about how it wouldn't taste nearly as good tomorrow as it would right then, so I ate it. No problem - I had the points available.

I don't know what happened, but that just set me off. Within a half-hour, I also ate 2 cheese sticks, reduced-fat wheat thins and salsa, a few slices of Boar's Head turkey and the package of WW dijon pretzels that we were given as a sample at this week's meeting.

Oh well - I tracked the entire thing, took the hit from my Weekly Point Allowance and have brushed my teeth to keep anything else from going in my mouth tonight. Tomorrow is another day.

I had to laugh though - what a pathetic binge. No cookies, no Valentine's candy, no chips - chicken, cheese, turkey, pretzels, salsa - I guess something is clicking in that brain of mine somewhere .

Hang in there ladies, we all have days we gain or just lose control. Today is a new day and just move forward. Good luck this week!

I felt quite binge-ish the past few days as well. Major stress + TOM. It was so bad I was trying to figure out how many Dove minis I could eat for all of my weekly points---in one day! Thankfully I didn't go there, just had 6 (still a binge though) and they came from my daily points.

I did a sneak peek weigh-in yesterday (weekly weigh-in day is Fri) and wasn't down one bit, but TOM did come, and this morning I weighed myself and had actually lost 1.5 lbs. Had to weigh myself twice to believe it. Guess I'll claim it!

 

[mrzrich]

FINALLY!!! Down .8 today and hit my 60lbs

YIPPIEEEEEEE!!!!!!

A "pathetic binge" is a great term and I do not believe it qualifies as a full blown binge. You tracked it all and the food was all healthy. Won't you be surprised when you lose weight at your next WI. I can't wait to hear that report Laura.

I have spent all 49 points in one swoop before and felt really dumb afterward. But, it sort of makes you stay completely honest until the next WW week starts. It also lets your body know you aren't completely depriving it and starving. I hope you had a really good time with your girl friends. I'm looking forward to your WI report, too!

 

[diskids2]

Pork Tenderloin has the same points as chicken. Do you eat pork?

Yes....I think I might spice it up this week with pork...Also the stir fry recipies sound great. I think its just the plain old baked chicken thing with vegetables that is getting to me. WI tomorrow, then starting week four.

 

[Laurabearz]

Thanks everyone!!

Well I added up all the points from yesterday and it was a whopping 83 point day... with that said, I still have 8 activity points left for the week, so not a total bust. But yeah... it was a total bust lol And when we go out again, I'll make better choices, but it's that time cough cough so I indulged a bit more than I would have normally lol

I am on my second glass of water, and had Healthy Choice Chicken Noodle soup for lunch so right back on the horse for me!!

Oh and I registered for a fitness 5K walk in April and a run/walk 5K for May for some short term goals for fitness! My long term is 2012 WDW Half (booked the room already, so I better get my tush in gear!)

Hope everyone is having a great day!!

Hello Ladies, Haven't posted in probably 2 weeks possibly?...Majorly embarrassed by my weigh-in this past Saturday...

I knew going in I had gained...and I knew it was at least 2 lbs if not more...sure enough the scale I weigh on at home and work are very very accurate to the WW scale...I gained wait for it...3lbs!!! I'm almost passed out! Ugh...so I did know it was coming...and I honestly didn't think I did to bad that week but when I really sat down and thought about it...it wasn't that great of a week because of the lack of exercise and the extra intake of food on days I don't normally eat bad...plus I had a lot of sodium last Friday night. So I have busted my butt this week! I have exercised 6 days this week and I normally do 4-5. I also watched my food intake pretty well. Still horrible at tracking though once I'm home from work and on the weekends though...but I have been pretty happy with my progress since I started this journey in August in general. So tomorrow I'm hoping to lose the 3 lbs I gained plus 1...so I'm hoping for a 4lbs loss tomorrow! I know that is far from normal and that would be the most I have lost in any week since I started in August. I usually lose between 1-2lbs at the most on average and I have had minor gains during this journey as well but nothing close to 3lbs! I still can't believe it!

Lesson learned~is this battle with my weight will never truly be over because once I make lifetime the true battle will be just beginning!

I hope everyone is doing well! Oh and as excited as I am to being visiting the Mouse in May I'm starting to dread the food situation! If I gained 3lbs from just some minor flubs I can only imagine what almost 8 days of WDW will do to my waistline...I do plan on working out but don't really want to follow the ww plan while there...I want to enjoy the food along with everyone else...It's depressing sometimes watching people eat the food you love. We will be staying in a grand villa so we will have a full kitchen so I do plan on getting some healthy snacks and breakfast foods since I don't care for breakfast that much. Oh, and my mil who is paying for the villa is making us do the dining plan...because she wants to do it...So dining plan is never good when someone is watching their weight...

Ok, I better stop! I left you guys a novel to read! LOL

You're so funny, I don't mean ha ha funny but cute funny. Anyways, Congrats on getting back on track . It happens it's called life, good luck tomorrow! As for disney, as long as you are excepting of the possible outcome of going on vacation and enjoying yourself then that is ok. Try not to stress too much about it. I am in my 16th month of WW and I have done the dining plan 2x's my 3rd will be in 2 weeks. I didn't follow WW but tried to eat reasonable for breakfast and lunch and enjoy my dinner 100%. I ate snacks and desserts (not fruit either ). But when I felt full I stopped and didn't just eat it all just because and then finish everyone elses meals on top of that. Did I gain, well yes I did, I accept that and enjoyed my time and got right back on track when I got home.

I also agree 100% with you that the real battle will be with lifetime, I say that all the time about myself. Now I think I wrote a novel as usual, . Again, good luck tomorrow.

 

[karliebug]

well, I weighed in last nite and I lost .8. I was a little disappointed but at least I didn't gain and i have been feeling really bloated so maybe I will lose more next week.

Great Job!!!

 

[Twingle]

Had my WI yesterday - was down .6! While I would've *LOVED* to have lost the 2+ I gained last week, I know I'm back on track and the scale will follow! Hope every one has a great weekend!

 

[k_null81]

Just got back from weigh-in and I'm down 4.2! Thank goodness...I knew I did pretty good this week and it would pay off! I also know a lot of the weight I did gain the previous week was probably water weight though but I'm happy the 3lbs weight gain is gone...

Roughly 6-8 from goal! Seems so close but yet so far away! I mean it has taken me 7 months to lose just a tad over 30lbs.

Well hope everyone has a good weekend! We had a beautiful week this week...and of course just in time for the weekend the temp has dropped and it's cloudy and rainy! Go figure!

Wow, 4.2 at this point in your journey is amazing. Congratulations. Keep doing what you're doing. Can you share any secrets?! I'd love to see a week like you just had.

 

[dis-happy]

Oh my, what a horrible shocker!

I cooked dinner for the fam tonight, and went ahead and just ate what everyone else was having, thinking it would be okay. Baked sweet potato fries, a small spoonful of baked beans....and a Nathan's hotdog. It wasn't until I stuck it in the points chart that I found out that one of those dumb hotdogs is 8 pts!!! Plus the bun for 4. Agh. I usually just scratch the surface on the WP's but not now! So, eaters beware.....

 

[brookelizabeth]

I do turkey hot dogs, they taste great and are only 2 points!
