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. =)

Green Smoothie - 4 points
cheese stick - 1 point
thin bread - 1 point
cheese wedge - 1 point
thin bread - 1 point
1oz chicken - 1 point

Sunday 23rd August, 2009

1 cup raisin bran - 3 points
1 cup milk - 2 points
1 cup canteloupe - 1 point
spaghetti noodles - 5 points
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.

Sooo, yeah. It's really hard to control portions when one has a couple of parties to go to. I got all my veggies and milks for the day, but I blew the points and had to use 8 bonus points. Thank goodness for bonus points! That's what they're there for, and I'm so grateful for them. =)

Oh well. Pick up, brush yourself off, start again. =)
