Weekend Challenge

Hi All!

It’s the weekend, and once again we have visitors from out of town- so that means more dinners out and more temptation!

Yesterday I was SO tired- I didn’t do my 30DS.  I felt guilty about it after, but my WW buddy convinced me that it’s ok to take a day off when you need the rest.  I got right back at it today and it was just as hard as ever.  On the topic of the 30DS- how much would I kill to have Natalie’s body?! I think she’s one of the prettiest girls I’ve ever seen, and it really says a lot that she can look that good while working out that hard.  Although, I kind of want to punch Jillian when she says “if Natalie can do it, you can too!”…Natalie’s super fit, not exactly Jillian’s target audience! I’m still really liking this dvd though :)  The previews at the beginning have motivated me to add some Biggest Loser workout dvds to my Amazon wish list..I like that they have former contestants and overweight people doing the exercises.

Last night I went out for dinner unexpectedly- steak, potatoes, etc…I was starving by the time we got there, and ended up using 10 flex points.  I had 4 APs from yesterday, and got 4 more today, so that only puts me 2 into my flex points.  Most days I stay within my points, so I shouldn’t have a problem making up those points by my Weigh-In on Wednesday.  I would have stayed within my points yesterday too, but I really wanted a caesar salad (7 points- bad news!). BUT- I ordered it with the dressing on the side and only used about a teaspoon or so (I did the “fork dipping” thing).  Again, I had what I wanted, stayed in control, and enjoyed every bite.  I love Weight Watchers for that!

Tomorrow I’m going to be away from home pretty much all day, and will likely be eating in restaurants for lunch and dinner.  I’m planning to do my 30DS (day 7 of Level 2) before I leave.   It’s crunch time at school, and I’m feeling the pressure- I have to make sure I continue to make time for my workouts during all this stress!

    I’ve done level 1 of 30DS. It’s amazing how much pain that woman can inflict in only 20 minutes!

    It’s great that you’re actually doing level 2; I couldn’t even bring myself to look at it! :)

    Have a nice weekend! Enjoy your company and try to plan what you might eat before you go to the resturant… Check to see if they have nutritional info online. I like to already know what I am getting before I even open the menu…. It helps me avoid the really yummy looking high calorie items… LOL
