Ok, I am more than a little pissed. Here are my totals for last week:
Total flex points left at the end of the week: 34.5
Total activity points earned for the week: 61
Total activity points consumed as extra food: 10
Total weight GAINED at the end of the week: 2!
For those of you who don't do Weight Watchers all of those point totals add up to total BULLSHIT!
So after weigh in on Saturday I responded like any other completely rational person would ... I ate 3 donuts. In rapid succession. That means by 7:30 am I was already over my daily total alotted points for Saturday by 2. The rest of the day didn't go much better. I ended up with 44 total points (earned 10 for my 21 mile bike ride, but still!)
*sigh*
Here is a link to the 20 mile run report that I did on Sunday. It has pictures, including a rare RBR picture WITHOUT her hat!
I am two days into the new week and I already have 37 activity points. Of course, I ate 10 of those as food and 13 flex points already as well.
Whatever.
My life is INSANE. It is my time of year to be CRAZY busy. After May 14th things get MUCH better. I need to get caught up with you all soon. I am so sorry I am such a blog flake!

Sorry.....
I'm sorry you gained. However, your APs are there so you can eat them. So don't feel guilty about that. Next week will be better. Oh, and it took me a minute to figure out what dounts were. I thought it must be some new WW food. LOL! I get it though.
Thanks for your comment. It makes sense. Now, what shall I do this afternoon? Maybe a Walk Away the Pounds DVD?? It's way better than sitting on the couch. THANKS!
I know it's frustrating. I don't know what to say. Did the WW leader have any insight for you?
Mine doesn't know what to say when you have gains like that or mine. I had a 4.something gain the week I got back from my trip. It's almost like I had to console her LOL!!
That's one crazy looking cat. Cracks me up! I also like the "internet high five" on your other blog. Cute!
So sorry about your disapointment with the point thing. Hope it's better this week.
Your yearly totals are mind boggling! You really are amazing. I also think it shows that you are one organized lady to keep up with all of that. Is that possible with one of your many gadgets that you've talked about loving, or are you REALLY just that organized? Either way, super cool!
Great job on the hill, and I'm sure the compliment from your dh made it even better.
Your schedule sounds like it's pretty hectic. Do you have a countdown calendar for the 14th? Got anything planned to celebrate? A trip for rest and relaxation? Hope so.
I know I've seen the zoo picture before thus already telling you this, but it never hurts to say it again. (what woman gets tired of hearing how great she looks???? NONE!!!) Anyway....you really are a beautiful lady!!! You look great in a pink hat running marathons, and you look great with your hair down. Either way....beautiful!!!
Only a few more days to go. (10 to be exact) Hang in there. You can do it!!!
That's pretty funny. Sounds like something I would do. Dont Give Up!

Me, too!
I miss "talking" with you, too. Sorry you are still so dang busy!! I hear you're doing an Iron Man race! How fun!! It sounds totally doable! But by gosh do you have a lot of races in your future!!!!!!! How do you do it???
I hope things settle down for you soon!! School is almost out! Yay!! I'm secretly hoping my daughter doesn't get into her geometry class at the community college so we can actually have some fun this summer and go away on a few short road trips!! She failed the placement test, so now she needs her teachers to write letters, and I don't know that they will. We'll see.
Just checking in on you. Was wondering if you were doing much better since (sp? why can't I think of how you spell that word? Oh well, you know what I mean right?) wondering if you are breathing easier now that it's the 20th?
I read a bit on your other site, but my son keeps calling for me. Bless his heart, he is so excited he got a guitar today. I need to go as he is very persistant.
I'll be back sometime in the next couple days. For now....AWESOME job on your triathlon!
I haven't actually run an official 5k. Let me get through that before I sign up for a 10k. That freaks the fuck out of me! Wow! I'm just as trashy as you are! LOL!
Sorry I've been MIA. Of course I'd love to have lunch with you this summer! Or take the dogs to the beach or something!! Or go running! Or bike riding! Ok, you get the picture! You have my email address and my phone number! Let me know when you are free! I'm going to be around all summer!
I hope you are doing well and getting some R & R now that school is out!
Have a blast in Africa and let's get together when you get back!!!!! Promise?????
Oh, and I'm not mad at your internet crush anymore. It was just a dumb squabble. Kind of funny, actually. I was so mad that I used his toothbrush to scrub the bathroom sink! ROFLMAO!!!! (I threw it away, don't worry!)
I've tried and tried to recover my google password, and my brain is just not cooperating.
Here is the message I was trying to leave you over there...
You know I like to lift weights and it does seem to trim you down, but I am the first to tell you that I could NEVER do what you do. N-E-V-E-R, never!!! You are my hero. Seriously girl! You are stronger than I will ever hope to be.
Keep doing what you are doing as there are MANY that find you and your abilites AMAZING!!!! :)
Hope you got the message I sent through your e-mail about Mary. Again, very sorry to hear that. Truly amazing that race you did!
I like the "big girl panties" statement too. Heard it for the first time several months ago at a Mary Kay meeting.
Had to LOL as I happen to have a picture of me in Big Girl Panties when I was 8 or 9. My aunt came around the shower room and I was sitting in some grannie panties and no shirt. When I realized she was going to take a picture of me, I somehow managed to pull them up dang near up to my chin!!! Talk about "big girl!" She is in the process of locating that picture for me. Will be sure to share it when she does. (just what you would love to see huh?)
Thank you for stopping by the other day. I always love to hear from you. Please no apologies for being away. I only felt unloved for a litlte while LOL!! You know I'm playing right?
I'm not sure I ever told you this, but I printed out that note you left me after I finished my BFL challenge. I read it often and am so thankful for your kindness. That note has lifted my spirits more often than you know. Thank you.
I will be over to visit your other blog soon. It's often is the highlight of my blogging time. Right now I'm on the phone with my dad and he's telling me his ailments. Am I awful or what for typing and not listening? shame on me.
Anyway...I thought of you this morning during spinning. The instructor was planting some visualization seeds in our mind. We were racing along the pacific ocean, leading the way with our friends, not backing off so they could get a great workout, etc....
Holding out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler came on for the last song. Talk about a flashback in time. I LOVED that song from Footloose, and LOVED that movie. What's exciting is you probably know what I'm talking about. I've been hanging out with some folks lately that would be completely clueless. I can hear them saying "Footloose? What's Footloose?"
Anway...
The instructor said, "imagine you are racing to the finish line and your fitness HERO is waiting for you to finish strong. Peddle like you want to make them proud. Don't let that person or yourself down! Who is it???? Who is your HERO???
Wanna know who I instantly thought of??? YOU!!!
You are truly someone that I look up to and admire for all that you do, and how you work to get better and better. I read your blog about your sickness from a couple years ago, and was inspired all over again.
Thanks for being there this morning. You would have been proud. I peddled like a crazy woman.
Take care Stacey! Alicia
just for fun....
I hope this You Tube clip shows up. It's not showing up for me, but I've put in the link. Here's the link if you can't see it.
For those of you who don't do Weight Watchers all of those point totals add up to total BULLSHIT!
Hope it's better this week. 
LOL!! You know I'm playing right?
