It's Linger Longer at church today. I'm really nervous about it. Wish me luck. =)
Chocolate pumpkin muffin batter - 2 points
I guessed. I licked a bit off my fingers and the bowl. I figured it was better to overestimate the points than underestimate.
1 cup milk - 2 points
1/2 egg boat - 2 points
Andrew made egg boats again. That young man loves to cook. =)
1 chocolate pumpkin mini muffin - 1 point
Green Smoothie - 4 points
Various pickin's at the Linger Longer - 20 points
It was worse than I expected. *sigh* =(
1 cup watermelon - 1 point
Total points - 32/19
I'll post more later.
Chocolate pumpkin muffins
makes 24 at 2 points per muffin. 1 point if you make 48 mini muffins.
1 box chocolate cake mix
15 oz canned pumpkin
Mix it up. Divide it up between 24 muffin cups. Bake about 20-25 mins.
If you can, wait for them to cool, then add a small topper of fat free canned whipped cream or fat free cool whip for no extra points. The children went NUTS over them. They are sooooooo good. =)

What I ate
Saturday 29th August 2009
Green Smoothie - 4 points
2 slices bread - 1 point
I discovered a marrrrrrrvelous new bread - Nature's Own Double Fiber bread is only ONE POINT for TWO SLICES!! Whooooot!
Cheese wedge - 1 point
veggies and dressing - 1 point
1 cup watermelon - 1 point
1 1/2 cups milk - 3 points
Chips and 2/3 shrimp quesadilla - 16 points
We ate out at Taco Express - or, as it's called now, Oscar's, but I prefer the old name. The shrimp quesadilla is sooooooo goooooood. I haven't had one in months and I was amazed that I was able to eat only 2/3 of it and not scarf the whole thing.
I also didn't eat the ice cream they had at church when we went to the Court of Honor - Ben made Star rank!!! =) Anyway, I didn't eat the ice cream there, and I didn't eat any at home either. Go me! =)
Total points: 27/19
Used a few bonus points. It was worth it. =)

It's Mom's Night out at Panera for the Williamson County Homeschool Group. I look forward to it every month. =)

Wednesday 26th August 2009
Emily flew back to Utah today. Bert took her because she needed to go to the airport at the same time I needed to take Ben to Seminary. I'm telling ya, this getting up at 5am daily is not easy!
Today was my 14th weigh-in. I've been going to Weight Watcher's now for 14 weeks. =) Go me! I'm so proud of my stick-to-it-ive-ness.
I'm kind of sad because when I start work I won't be able to come to my usual Wednesday morning meeting and I'll miss them. Especially because my first week at my new ww meeting will be my Week 16 celebration. *sigh* Oh well, C'est la vie.
Starting weight: 165.8lbs
Today's weight: 146lbs
Today's loss: 2.2lbs
Total loss: 19.8lbs
Next week I'll have lost 20 LBS!! =) I'll get another 5lb loss sticker. =) I'm so happy. I'll be officially half-way through my weight-loss then. =)
I think it's very interesting that I lost 2.2lbs despite the difficult week. Several parties and Emily's birthday. I did quite well despite blowing my points. I think it helped that my period was all done. =) You can look in my weight record and you pretty much know whenever I've been on a period; my weight has gone up, and then come down double the usual amount the following week. =)
Anyway, here's what I ate:
Brazillian chicken, rice and beans - 10 points
The mother of Emily's friend made it. She's from Brazil. This Brazillian chicken is SOOOOO GOOOOD! I guesstimated the points.
1 cup milk - 2 points
ff ice cream - 2 points
cereal and milk - 6 points
Total points: 20/19 points
Yeah, points look good on the surface, but once again, do you see any veggies in there????? And it wasn't nearly enough food, and certainly no nutritional balance at all. At least I got all my milks though. =)
Tuesday 25th August, 2009
It was parent night at Ben's school. I knew I was going to be faced with cookies galore and was worried about it. I should have been. =D I overguesstimated the amount of points I ate with cookies, but that's fine. For the FIRST TIME in my ENTIRE LIFE I put half of something in my mouth, ate it, looked at the other half and thought, "I don't want to eat this." AND I DIDN'T!!! WHOOOOT! I've never been able to do that before. I'm so happy. =) So although the points for today blew away every single one of my remaining bonus points, I count it as a triumph. =)
1 hour walk - GO ME!!! plus 3 points
Cocoa Krispies - 2 points
1 cup milk - 2 points
Mexican bean soup, 7 ff crackers - 2 points
ff fudge bar - 2 points
Green Smoothie - 4 points
Naugty Stuff - 7 points
I can't even remember what the naughty stuff was. Where did I get it? Where did I eat it? It's bizarre.
1 tsp frosting - 1 point
It's funny how the frosting isn't included in the general "naughty stuff" heading. =D
1/2 cup milk - 1 point
cookies - 10 points
Total points: 31/22
Monday 24th August, 2009
Emily's 19th birthday. Happy Birthday to her! =) She wanted to go to Logan's which worried me as they refuse to post their nutritional information. I chose from the light menu, though, and did pretty good guesstimate of the amount of points I consumed. =)

I've started buying whole wheat noodles so I can use the "set point". It's helped me feel a lot more full after the Sunday meal. =)
1/2 cup sauce and meat - 3 points
1 cup juice - 2 points
Pickins at Jone Koford's - 20 points
Total points: 36/19 points
I'm not sure it was really 20 points at Jone's house, but I figured it was better to overestimate than underestimate. It's been a very difficult couple of weeks with all the parties. I'm not very good at saying "no" to delicious desserts.

Oh well. Pick up, brush yourself off, start again. =)
Total points: All of them, I think. (Name that movie. =)) A guesstimate, if I guess 20 points for my sushi meal, is FIFTY-ONE points!!! GAH!!

Today is my son's birthday as well as my father's. =) Soooo....I imagine the points will be kinda crazy.

1 tsp mayo - 1 point
cool ranch doritos - 3 points
fiber one bar - 2 points

1/12 sara lee cheesecake - 6 points
1/2 cup milk - 1 point
hot chocolate - 2 points
Total: 34.5/19 points
Yeah, I know, I used A LOT of my bonus points - 15.5 of them, to be exact. BUT I was able to participate in Ben's birthday dinner and I *did* get a healthy amount of cheesecake. One tiny slice was 6 points. YIKES! And what's worse is there are two birthdays this week - mine is on Tuesday. It will be interesting to see how I fare with that one.
Wednesday 12th August 2009

Total:17/19 points
Did REALLY well on the points, keeping it under 19. I did terrible on the veggies and awful on the milk, soooooo yeah, dang. It's because I didn't have a green smoothie. It was an excessively delicious day, however.
Though I must say, that weight watchers carrot cake SUCKS. I was looking for the nifty carrot cakes that Heather recommended. Unfortunately, I can't find 'em anywhere. =( So I tried the ww carrot cake. BLECH. Dry and nasty. Thank goodness I was drinking a 2 point hot chocolate at the time or I would have gone "GACK".
Tuesday 11th August 2009
The only thing I wrote down for this day was the Green smoothie at 4 points. YIKES!! I wonder why I didn't write anything else down? And I've totally forgotten what I ate. Na ja, I had 21 bonus points left and I *KNOW* I didn't use that many, so we're all good.
Total points: no idea. I average out at about 21/19, so it was somewhere around there.

Total: 19/19 points
Did SO well on the veggies - thanks to the green smoothie. I felt like I ate a LOT of food today. I did excessively bad on the milk. I tell ya, if you drink that milk it totally cuts down on the points you can have. A full four points need to be milk based products, which leaves me only FIFTEEN for food. That is NOT a lot. And it's irritating.

Sundays are always hard because of the spaghetti. It didn't help that I had ice cream up the wazoo. Oh well, so I had enough milk, but not enough veggies. Again.

Ok, better on the points than yesterday, really good on the milk, but SO not good on the veggies. I really must have a green smoothie every day otherwise I don't get enough veggies.

Cheese stick - 1 point
Strawberries - 1 point

1/2 sonic breakfast toaster sandwich - 6 points
Total points - 18/19 points
Yeah, so although I was under points, it was a WAY unhealthy day. No milk whatsoever. Well, except for the 1/2 cup of yoghurt in the smoothie.
I have to say, though, that sonic breakfast toaster sandwich was RIDICULOUSLY good. Holy cow!!! It's the most delicious thing I've tasted in a loooooong while. In fact, I may have to start obsessing about having another one at some point.
Deal with self: If I have 12 points left at the end of this week, I will get a sonic breakfast toaster sandwich.
However!!!! that's unlikely to happen because not only do is it Ben's birthday today, but it's also my birthday in five days. Two birthdays in one week is not conducive to one using very few of one's bonus points.
Might have to actually break down and exercise this week. GAH!
Today is my son's birthday as well as my father's. =) Soooo....I imagine the points will be kinda crazy.

Yeah, I know, I used A LOT of my bonus points - 15.5 of them, to be exact. BUT I was able to participate in Ben's birthday dinner and I *did* get a healthy amount of cheesecake. One tiny slice was 6 points. YIKES! And what's worse is there are two birthdays this week - mine is on Tuesday. It will be interesting to see how I fare with that one.

Did REALLY well on the points, keeping it under 19. I did terrible on the veggies and awful on the milk, soooooo yeah, dang. It's because I didn't have a green smoothie. It was an excessively delicious day, however.
Though I must say, that weight watchers carrot cake SUCKS. I was looking for the nifty carrot cakes that Heather recommended. Unfortunately, I can't find 'em anywhere. =( So I tried the ww carrot cake. BLECH. Dry and nasty. Thank goodness I was drinking a 2 point hot chocolate at the time or I would have gone "GACK".

What I ate
Wednesday 5th August 2009
WEIGH IN!
This was my 11th weigh-in, so I've been on weight watchers now for nearly three months.
Starting weight: 165.8lbs
Weight today: 148.8 lbs
Total weight loss: 17lbs!!!
Which means I have lost 10% of my body weight in just under 3 months. =) I'm so happy! I got my 10% key ring. =) I'll need to put before and after pictures up here soon. I like the way Heather measures herself and puts up pictures every week.
Because I am now in the 140s in terms of pounds, my points drop down again - from 20 to 19 points. Gah! That's going to be tough. I will definitely be making use of my 35 bonus points each week. =)
Thin bread - 1 point
