Sorry for not being around!

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)
3pt WW Chocolate Banana Smoothie
2pt WW Bagel
1pt Laughing Cow Cheese


Lunch: (9 pts)

7 pt Subway Sweet Onion Teriyaki 6" Sub (no cheese, onions, lettuce, hot peppers)
0 pt Unsweetened Iced Tea
2 pt Fit & Active Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwich



Dinner: (9 Pts)

1pt WW Wheat Bread Toast
1pt Low Cal Margarine
1pt Egg Substitute (1/2 Cup) w/onions & peppers added*
1pt FF Presidents Feta 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.

LIST
For Daily Items Desired/Needed

5 or more fruits & veggies


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

Exercise (for me this is active movement above & beyond "normal" as I am physically limited right now from cancer) Not Achieved - Chronic Pain levels too high
