I haven't done TOO bad keeping on track over the holidays but figured getting back to blogging & keeping track of my intake can't hurt. I do know that taking the AssistU during the holiday season allowed for me to really, really, misbehave and not have any huge gains. Thank GOD!

I must confess, getting "back on the wagon" though, is not an easy feat! I am constantly feeling hungry and I know better because I'm eating enough, just my body's been used to OVEReating and the wrong foods! Add to all this the fact that it's my PMS week... oh boy, this week's going to be a tough one!

So here's today's menu:

I am so proud of my accomplishment last night. If you didn't see what I did INSTEAD of eating away my misery, check out my blog post for Thanks Anger! LOL

I also wanted to add, it's really odd because when I started Weight Watchers I was really pretty clueless. Yeah, I KNEW good from bad food, etc. but I never really knew HOW to incorporate it into a lifestyle. It was always a "DIET" for me.

Oddly enough, it's now just a "way of life" and with that comes (I never thought I'd say this) days when I wonder HOW would I ever eat the points I was given?! Thankfully I have a wonderful system in place that allows me to make the WW Plan my own, changing what I need to and adding things I KNOW are better for me. The end result is often eating WELL under the number of points given for the day but feeling more than good about my choices & comfort level of "fullness" (I'm rarely hungry if I eat right). <-- that's kind of an "Oxymoron Statement" isn't it? LOL

The supplements I've been taking seem to have created a whole new "inside" me... making my food work FOR me, not against me. I owe so much to my very good friend Yvette for bringing this side of me out. So, shout out and thanks to you girl. I cannot WAIT to get your website out there and share how you've changed me!

So here's today's menu:

I took a bit of a break from the gym today. Not complaining because generally this "week" for me is a week of horrid, chronic pain; instead, this week ended up being so far one day of it. Great change! So today's day off is much needed & deserved. I'll chill and rest the back up in hopes that Monday I will feel well enough to get back in the swing of things & hit that pool again!

I have been running non-stop it seems for the past few days. I'm not complaining, cuz that means if I'm running and doing things I'm not down & out in a bed with my chronic pain! But WOW would I like a little break! LOL

That being said, like all of us, when I'm out running non-stop I tend to ignore my hunger pangs and next thing you know I'm famished and ready to pick anything off the menu from the closest drive thru! (SEE THURSDAYS DISASTER FOOD BLOG! LOL)

So, this time I decided that knowing I was going to be running I'd not only make GREAT choices but cheap ones... I had a freebie coupon for a "wrap" at a local convenience store.. used that for lunch & ate 1/2 of it. Used another BOGO coupon for Chick-Fil-A for a wrap there. End results, very point friendly & delish! PLUS I'm soooo full!

So here's today's menu:

I haven't been diligent about blogging my food but I have been good about keeping track points wise. I've had a very stressful past few days, but as with everything in life you suck it up and think positive.

I cannot express enough how much my friend Yvette has helped me in making this new way of life "MINE", and that includes introducing me to the clip/trailer of "The Secret". I actually found the DVD in a used store I often shop at for about $3 I think (maybe even $1.50 when she took half off that price, but not sure). Either way, it's worth that times a million.

I swear to you, watch the trailer alone and do what they say & you WILL see a difference. I don't sell it or get profits from it or anything (wish I did for as much as I promote it anymore! LOL) but I do know that if you were to buy it (the entire DVD) brand new for the general $20 cost it's WELL worth it.

Being on the #FFChallenge3 with my Fab Fatties Buds has also helped me a TON this week. It's never too late to join us! Click on their link (logo) to go to their page!

Today's "lunch" was not only a total eye opener but really, really showed me that when I misbehave & count it.. while I can do it.. it sure leaves for some hunger by the end of the night! I'm still within limits, but this is DEFINITELY not a good menu to follow! YIKES a days worth of points in ONE sitting! Unreal. But it's done... and tomorrow is on it's way!

Finally, the gym re-opened and I was in HEAVEN! Worked out MAJOR and while I'm hurting a bit it's all good. Thank GOD I'm back in action! Ok, I'm an addict, but damn proud of it now! LOL

This is also "Day One" of using the new "Supplements" (right now only samples available) for weight loss/appetite suppressant, created by 1 Healthy Chick aka Yvette.

All natural herbal supplement that truly does help your body metabolize the food you are eating & keeps you feeling completely satiated! Honest to God I'm amazed at this. It is a WONDERFUL accompaniment to your weight loss program! More to come, I promise!

Another day of running so I dined out for lunch. I find that I'm often disappointed in salads at "fast food" restaurants so once in a while I will opt for a higher calorie/point, more substantial and filling sandwich. I try to keep with the low fat meats, no cheese & low or no fat dressings (especially no mayo). I seem to be running hungry a lot more lately, which means time for me to look at the past blogs and see what I'm doing different. I'm going to guess it's choosing things like a 9 pt sandwich for lunch as opposed to eating at home and getting a TON more food for those points!

Today's definitely a "shopping" day. I'm out of everything! Add to that almost an entire 7 days now of no "gym" (closed this week, last week chronic pain was simply too intense to even water walk) and I'm really determined I have to stay very much on plan.

I've been finding my self late at night (after my final post) still hungry. I try drinking something to fill me and I'm not sure why it's happening but I'm not feeling in control with it. Since I've had minimal groceries left I've eaten graham crackers or something like that to try to fill the void but I'm not feeling in control. Oddly enough, I'm wondering if it's the LACK of "exercise" at the intensity levels I've been able to obtain in the water that are creating the change in my appetite? Whatever it is, it's ticking me off... and you don't want to make me angry! LOL

I've also been going to bed early quite often with migraines. Trying to figure out why but I guess it helps me not go OVER on points? LOL

Today, being a "lazy Sunday" I really didn't do a "scheduled" meals kinda day. I got up and made breakfast for me and 1 of the kids. The others were either gone or sleeping still.

If I eat like this, I tend to do more small "snacks" throughout the day, not the worse thing in the world either as it stretches out my points and my intake throughout the day.

*Dinner will be my "bigger" meal & I'll pretty much forgo lunch, supplementing healthy snacks in between when I feel a little bit of hunger.

It's not my favorite way to eat but I also think it kind of helps to switch it up a bit once in a while & eat several smaller "meals" throughout the day too. I do what my body is asking for, as long as it seems "healthy" & today my body's just asking for a chill day.

My late evening, after ending the blog for the day ended with a little "binge" eating. I did post it later under my snacks but it wasn't a feeling I liked. I felt slightly out of control & I truly was hungry for a while, until then I was just feeling out of control. Not sure if it's the change in my exercise (not truly being able to exercise for 5 days now) or what, but it's not something I'm liking.

Tomorrow I will definitely eat my 3 full meals and 2 snacks, hoping that' what triggered the slight "binge" issue. At least the binging wasn't all on "bad" food.

At this point I have lost 39.4 lbs total. You cannot imagine how exciting that is to me, well if you're also a "Weight Watcher" too you CAN tell how exciting it is. Heck, if you struggle with weight at all you can imagine.

But with that... today I decided I needed to get back to blogging my intakes. I've been a little lax, still losing, but know that this can be detrimental to one's healthy lifestyle plan.

Today's Log for Wednesday, July 22, 2009

Breakfast: (0 pts)

Bad start... decide to stay in bed a little later (okay, an hour and a half later LOL) which meant pushing my work out time back. Had no Naked Juices to start my morning (that's like a "normal" person who has no coffee) so I just forwent the entire breakfast time. I'm not a huge fan of breakfast, which is why Naked's are so great for me. But it's NOT normal for me to not have any breakfast, just wasn't feeling it. So ended up eating my "BIG" meal at lunch, instead of dinner. Think it will work out fine.

Lunch: (9 pts)

1/4 lb Pepper Jack Cheese Burger with baked potato & sour cream

1 pt Arnolds Sandwich Thin (toasted)
1 pt Reduced Fat Pepper Jack Cheese Slice
3 pt Baked Potato
4 pt 95% FF 1/4 lb burger (Wegman's has these pre-packaged w/nutritional info on front)
0 pt Powerade Zero
0 pt FF Sour cream

1 pt Vita-Muffin Double Chocolate Muffin
2 pt Yoplait Light Boston Cream Pie

Dinner: (7 Pts)

Sorry for not being around!

2009-07-10T00:59:00.000-07:00

I apologize for not posting my Food Diaries.

I've been busy & running with the great weather so therefore often using my Weight Watcher "clicker" to count my points. I love this little gadget for anyone on the program! It makes it easy to always have with you, how many points you have left & how many you use with a simple click of a button!

I will try to be more diligent about posting food diaries though. I notice as I get better and better at "just knowing" what items cost me in points I tend to not write them down. It's fine, as long as I'm keeping track of points & doing so honestly! When I stop doing that, I'll have to definitely make sure I go back to tracking my food bit by bit again!

Happy Monday!

This past week, actually 2 weeks, have been very harsh on me physically. So I must apologize for my lack of attendance on the net but "off the net" I'm still kicking fat's butt!

I had my Weigh-In today and lost 0.4 lbs.! It's a little disappointing, because anything under a pound tends to sound so "blah", but the reality is that my pain levels have kept me from moving AT ALL! Yet, I stayed OP and didn't gain! So THAT is a real PLUS and makes me happy for the week's weigh in! I could have very easily went in the other direction and had a gain! So WOOOHOOOO for ANY loss!

Today's Log for Monday, June 8th:

Breakfast: (7 pts)
5 pt Naked Juice
2 pt Special K bar

Lunch: (7 pts)

7 pt McDonald's McChicken w/o mayo
0 pt Unsweetened Iced Tea
0 pt McDonald's Side Salad w/FF dressing

Dinner: (10 Pts)

4 pt Wegman's Apple Honey Oat Bread (toasted)
1 pt 98% FF Smoked Turkey
3 pt Havarti Peppadew cheese (1 oz)
0 pt Homemade bruschetta
2 pt Special K crackers (17)

*The ingredients I chose for this sandwich were, seriously, well worth the points. The Honey Apple Oat Bread at 2 pts/slice gave the sandwich so much texture and flavor that making it on a plain piece of high fiber 1pt bread would have been an insult to the sandwich itself. The full, bountiful flavor of the Havarti Peppadew cheese added a great touch & as always the Wegman's brand "off the bone" style smoked turkey is so low in points & doesn't mind sharing the limelight as star of the show in this sandwich!

Snacks: (2)

1 pt Hostess 100 calorie pack strawberry mini cupcakes
1 pt Popsicle Brand Sugar Free Fudgsicle

Total 26 of 32 allotted Pts

Notes: Another huge pain day, but not nearly as bad as the past week or so. I often, when having a bad MS day combined with a high pain day, won't eat much due to the pain levels & simply just not being able to move around. My tummy tends to just not be ready for food and I listen! So I don't feel "bad" about not meeting points on these days.

LIST
For Daily Items Desired/Needed

5 or more fruits & veggies

2 "healthy"Oils (not achieved according to WW rules but I've decided to supplement)
Multi-Vitamin
8+ Water/Water Equiv.
Whole Grains/High Fiber
Dairy

Exercise (I've begun an "upper arm" series of workouts that my son is helping me with to keep those "wings" from getting any worse as I lose and also to build up what I have. It's not strenuous, nor is it with heavy weights (2 lbs each). Some days I do reps of 10, some 15, some only 5 but I try to get in the workout daily. I also will be starting Yoga, geared towards people with MS (balance issues)

Happy NEW MONTH!

This month should prove to be a GREAT one as it's a whole new month to be back on plan, fully & happily!

Had my Weigh-In today and lost 2.8 lbs.! I'm almost back to the 27 lbs I had lost before dating a "Dining Out @ Buffet Addicted" man for a while! LOL While dating him I managed to add 8 lbs on, making my loss going to only 19 lbs. But with last week's WI loss of 3.6 + this week of 2.8 I'm at 6.4 of the 8 lbs back off! WOOHOOO!

Today's Log for Monday, June 1st:

Breakfast: (6 pts)

1pt Laughing Cow Cheese

1pt Lite English Muffin
2pt American Cheese*
2pt Hot Lite dog*

*I created my own little "confused breakfast sandwich" so to speak, combining all the *ingredients listed above, EXCEPT the breads. Added some cajun spices, salt & pepper. Placed the egg mixture on top of un-buttered English muffins & ate the "fall offs" with my side of toast. End result was delish & very filling! Kind of a 'different' dish, which was a bit of a change up. I enjoyed it.

Snacks: (5)

4 pt 4-Fit & Active Devils Food Cookies (from Aldi's)
1 pt FF Style Microwaved Popcorn (1 bag)

Total 29 of 32 allotted Pts

Notes: Today was a high pain day for me. I'm not sure why but my back/neck were bad & therefore there was no true "activity". I actually spent a good amount of time in my bed with extra doses of pain meds, battling the chronic pain and a headache from the pain. Hopefully tomorrow will allow me to get up and move about a little more.

Breakfast: (2 pts)
2pt Special K Bar*

*Note: I had to take a friend to the hospital for some major testing & didn't have time to eat. I do NOT recommend doing this "no breakfast thing"!

May 27, 2009 Food Log

2009-05-27T08:19:00.000-07:00

This is my way of keeping track. You can gander at it for ideas or ignore it, either way it's a way for ME to keep accountable. Hopefully I'll remember to do this daily! I'm currently attempting to do the Weight Watcher program but have decided that financially I can't afford to continue paying the cost (it is WELL worth it but I simply cannot afford it right now). So for this reason I'm taking what I've learned from them and added some of my own thinking, own ideas and ideas I've gathered around the net!
