Ok, so I get up and cook the meal - Turkey, mashed potatos, gravey, salad, rolls etc...
I ate a turkey and just a little bit of everything else - not a huge helping of any one thing. I then had a piece of chocolate pie - was it good too :-).
I did not eat anything for dinner.
Friday for breakfast I had a pop tart, lunch was a sandwich from Dominos pizza, dinner was baby back ribs from the grill, baked potato, roll.
Saturday was bbq roast beef and left overs and birthday cake and ice cream..
Sunday was biscuits and gravy and bbq roast beef for lunch and a 3 egg omlet for dinner.
I got on the scales this morning expecting to have gained 5 pounds but I lost 1 pound.
I have no clue how or why I lost one pound. I went way above and beyond my ww points for a week in 3 days LOL
Anyway, today being Monday I am back to the grind...
Breakfast was yogurt and a diet dr pepper...
Lunch will be a small side salad and chicken and rice (low fat, low cal)
I quit writing down the food I eat and I gain almost a pound at my ww w/i.
I was so discouraged - I have done so good this is my 16th week of ww and it's the first weigh in where I gained anything. Ok, so I wrote everything down I have consumed today. I am not going to let this get me down - I can not. I have come so far with 40 pounds and will not look the other way. Back on track. This is the hardest time of the year too - Thanksgiving and food and then Christmas and more food, then you have New Years and more snack food...blah, what's a person to do.
Back on track, back on track.
I wrote down what I have eaten today - 1 yogurt 3 points, 1 banana 3 points, 1 ww muffin 3 points. 1 serving 0 point soup -0 points, 1 iced tea 3 points. That was 12 points before dinner. My points are 29 per day. So I can have 1 small hamburger - 93% lean beef - no greese used to fry it in and 5 baked french fries and 1/2 bun. No mayo and no cheese with tomato and mustard only. That will use about all 29 points.
No more being lazy either. I did get out and walk 20 minutes fast paced (cause it's cold outside).
My mother passed away on Oct 21 so I have been away from EP until today. I did not do so good with my eating. I ate what was available and what was brought to the family. I just new I had gained 10 pounds. I weighed this morning and actually lost 3 pounds. I was shocked to say the least.
I am not doing WW currently - but plan to get back on it asap.
I am still counting my points though starting back today.
I have had 1 serving of low fat, low cal oatmeal. I will have a banana later and a bowl of healthy soup - low salt and fat.
Ok, I have been losing weight, but now I am getting comfortable with my weight and that IS NOT A GOOD THING.... When I get comfortable with my weight I tend to stop trying and end up gaining the weight back. I have noticed that I am not walking like I should - I only did 2 days last week - I was not feeling good, but that really is only an excuse. I have stopped tracking what I eat - thinking I can do it all in my head - which I found I can not do. I havent posted to this blog as often as I used to - to put down my thoughts and feelings each day. So, getting comfortable is certainly not a good thing. I have so much further to go....
So, yesterday I ate a good breakfast - yogurt and a 3 point ww muffin. Lunch was a banana and 1/2 bowl of 0 point progressive soup. Then yesterday afternoon I had some baked chips - about 4 points. So I had 10 points. Dinner last night was a splurge for sure - I had Chinese food. I did not go over board, but Im sure I at more then 19 points worth. It was so good though. Today I am not going to eat a lot and going to get in a good walk. I had a yogurt - 2 points and a banana 1 point for breakfast. Lunch will be a 3 point ww muffin and 1 point soup. Tonight, probably ff hot dog on bun - that will be about 5 points total.
It seems like this is taking a lot longer then it should. But then I stop and realize you only get out of it what you put in to it. I dont do a lot of cardio exercise, for one, it's hard on my knees and my back so I avoid it. I do a lot of walking which is just fine for me. I know that 1 or 2 pounds coming off my butt at a time is better then 5 or 6 pounds going on my thighs...LOL
Anyways, my eating this weekend wasnt what I wanted it to be, I wasnt feeling good so I did not get all the walking in last week. I only walked 2 days the whole week...but back to it this week. I craved chocolate last week and sweets and I wanted to eat everything in the house. I had a couple of the ww snacks and some yogurt and that more or less curbed the craving. I cooked the family shrimp last night - fried of course - I had mine boiled, but I did sneak one tiny piece of fried shrimp and it wasnt as good as I remembered it - way too greasy.
I am back at it this week - have big plans for the weekend so I have to save all my extra points for Saturday :-)
Back pain again blah. Just over all not feeling so hot. Will be glad when today is over.
Walked 25 minutes at a rather slow pace because unlike normal - today it hurt worse when I walked. Normally I can walk the pain to a dull roar but today it's screaming stop stop stop!
I just realized I didnt even post yesterday - so unlike me to miss a week day.
I did good yesterday for eating - I got in about 20 of the 29 points and I walked at a rapid pace for 10 minutes - all I had time for.
Today was yogurt and a ww snack cake. Lunch was a ww meal - and 100 cal baked cheetos - so all totaled about 8 points. I have 21 more saved for dinner tonight - low cal low fat chicken enchaladas home made:
I used chicken breast boiled to almost done mixed with 1 cup picante sauce, 1/2 cup ff sour cream, ff cream of chicken soup, chopped onion, chopped tomato and low fat wraps. Bake in the oven and serve with low fat or ff cheese.
