This blog keeps me in check

I never really liked blogging until I started losing weight and this really keeps me in check.

Last night I got in all but 3 points of my 30 points.  Today for breakfast I had 5 points - 1 ww yogurt and 1 ww breakfast sandwhich.

Lunch will be a ww meal - 4 points

Dinner will be a very small helping of hamburger helper.  I am afraid to see how many calories that will be.

I also need to cut up the watermelon I have at home, just havent found time to do it. 

Lost 1 ww flex point

Well, I dropped down from the 260s to the 250s now, so I have to subtract 1 ww flex point.  Instead of 31 I get 30 points each day.  Woohoo. 

I was really not expecting to lose any weight this week but I was really surprised to step on the scale and find I had lost 2 more pounds.  I did not even get in my exercise this weekend - other then cleaning out my closet.  I got rid of 4 trash bags of clothes that were too big.  I took them right to good will.  I had to give away 3 of my favorite pairs of pants because they were just falling off and they looked like "MC Hammer pants"  LOL 

Anyway - not going into the foods I ate this weekend - didnt over do it, just didnt eat the fruits and veggies like normal.  No junk food either.

This morning - first day of school so I got up early so I could eat breakfast with the kids before sending them off to school - not kids anymore though - high school.aged.  I ate 2 plain waffles - bought some ww yogurt but forgot I had it and didnt eat it with the waffles LOL.  LUnch will be lean cuisine and dinner will be baked chicken.

walked 20 minutes after lunch

I got in a 20 minute walk today after lunch.

The weather looks kind of stormy here but I dont think we will get any rain. 

Still doing my crunches at night.  Have worked up from 8 to 15 each night.

Still going...

Not weighing today

Not weighing today because its not a good week to weigh.  I always have water gain this week and avoid the scale and try to avoid people too, but it doesnt seem to work.  I am crabby and just want to go back to bed...

BUT, I am going to make the best of it and still stay within my points and try to get in some walking today too.

Walked 35 minutes this afternoon

I actually got in a great walk this afternoon. 

Walking, clears the head and cleans the spirit

Well,  after having a very stressful morning I decided to make myself get out and walk some more this afternoon.  I really is unbelievable how walking just washes away the stress that I had been feeling at that time.  I came back feeling so much better and not nearly as stressed.

I got in an additional 25 minutes of fast paced walking.  Yay me!

Walked 10 minutes this morning

I just can not get in the mood to walk today.  I am having some trouble breathing - stress does that to me from time to time - anxiety.

I did get in a 10 minute slow walk.  I will try again later.

Stressed

I am major stressing because of work.  I dont sleep and I cant concentrate.

I so need a new job or a very long vacation

Wearing smaller work pants

Well, this morning getting dressed for work I tried on a smaller pair of work pants - about 2 sizes smaller then what I had worn yesterday.  They fit!!!! 

Yesterday for lunch I had one of the Healthy choice asian steamers.  I did not like it at all.  It only had a couple of pieces of chicken and more rice then anything, but the sauce was horrible.  I could not eat the entire thing.  Just my opinion but I dont plan on buying it again.  Soooo...back to the tuna and crackers for today.  Dinner last night was yummy.  I had a chef salad with lettuce tomato and 1 cup (2 servings) of diced ham.  I had extra points so I added more ham.  I also had some shredded cheese and had a glass of tea.  I ate 1/2 serving of baked cheetos and couldnt finish that because I was feeling full.

Today for breakfast I had 2 waffles and a glass of unsweat tea.  Snack - 100 cal bar.  LUnch - tuna and crackers.  Dinner baked chicken and corn.

I also walked for 25 minutes this morning and hope to get in another 25 minutes this afternoon.  UPdated:  Got in an additional 25 minutes this afternoon.  YAY!!!

20 pounds gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Made my 2nd mini goal

I am thrilled.  I got on the scale this morning for my WW weigh in and have lost 20 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Woohooo.  22 more pounds to my first major goal.

I ate really good this weekend.  No junk.  Cooked out Friday night - grilled chicken and salad for dinner Friday.  Saturday I had watermelon for breakfast and a roast beef sandwhich - with mustand and tomato on whole wheat bread for lunch and same for dinner.  I also had 1/2 serving of baked cheetos (about 15 chips) with my lunch and some watermelon with my dinner.  For Sunday I had some rotisserie chicken on a bed of lettuce with tomato and cheese and ff dressing for lunch and a turkey sandwhich with 1/2 serving of baked cheetos for dinner.

This morning I am having a ww breakfast and a glass of unsweet tea.  Snack - neutragrain bar - lunch one of the new healthy choice Asian steamers.  Dinner tonight will be a chef salad - lettuce tomato, cheese and ham and ff dressing.
