I ate all my nutrients except the oil. If I'd had 2 tsp oil on the salad I would have had one point left for the day, and I could have had ALL my nutrients AND a ww fudge ice cream, or 1/2 cup bryer's fat free ice cream. Oh well.

Sunday 1st November 2009

Hey. What happened to Sat 31st October? There is no record of it anywhere in my book. Bizarre!

Anyway, this was Fast Sunday.

Uhm. I don't think this day is complete. I remember it and I'm sure I ate something later in the day. Considering it was date night I imagine we went out to eat. I think we went to El Guadalajara. If I'm remembering correctly I had grilled fish, rice and guacamole salad, with some tortilla chips too. I'm counting that as a 15 point meal, though I think that's going overboard on the points.

Total points: 33/18

Weigh-in, what I ate

Thursday October 29th 2009

Weigh-in
Today was my week 23 weigh in, and after last week's fiasco of weight gain, I changed the day I weighed in. I thought it would be better to weigh-in the day BEFORE date night rather than the day AFTER. Plus, Saturday's are so very very busy, it would be nice to get rid of one Saturday activity.

So I changed my weigh-in day to Thursday. And BEHOLD! The fabulous results!!!

Original Weight: 165.8lbs
Total Weight loss: 27.6lbs
Today's weight loss: 2.6lbs
Today's weight: 138.2lbs

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!!!! Let this be a lesson to all and sundry; choose your weigh-in date with care. This weigh-in marked the end of the plateau I've been on ever since I started exercising. I started out walking for 22 minutes and running for 8 minutes, and I have worked up to 50 minutes of running and ten minutes of walking. FINALLY I'm seeing the results of all that incredibly hard work, starting with today's weigh-in.

This day was a FAIL in that I didn't get all my minimum nutrients, and I blew my points out of the water. On the other hand,
I COULD have ordered a shrimp quesadilla at Oscar's but I didn't
I COULD have eaten all the tortilla chips but I didn't
I COULD have had a massive dinner but I didn't
I COULD have eaten a lot of Andrew's fries but I didn't.

So it was quite the success really. =)
