I'm ashamed of my eating!!
 

This morning I started off really well until I got to work.

I'm starting over tomorrow...although I always say that.
But, I am going to WI tonight and then will probably start going to another WW meeting with a friend.

My day so far...

B...
1 nectarine 1
Kashi 2
1/2 cup milk 1

L...
Veggie soup 3

Snack
Sunkist soda 3

Total so far 10

I think I need to see it in writing in order to stay on track, but sometimes I just don't wanna write it down!

Also, I'm on a soup kick. I think soups (when made right) are a great low fat filling meal! My next soup will be the veggie cheese soup I got at the meeting.

I'm doing great! I should have a loss to give Jen for the progress chart on Thursday. :)

I really wanted to post my weekend menus (friday-sunday) cause I was so proud from staying on program, but I don't remember so I'll have to just do today's so far:

B.
honeydew (2)
yogurt (2)
coffee (1)
L.
turkey on lite rye w/ mustard (4)
cut-up fresh veggies (0)
fruit roll-up (1)

Later will be:
snack: 2 plums (1)

Dinner:
bbq chicken (5)
rice (4)
veggies (0)

italian ice (2)

Total 22.

Room for a little more if I get hungry. :)

I'm still hanging on. I haven't lost any more weight, but I haven't gained any either, which is a good thing I guess. The positive thing is that I have continued to run, which is the other part of what I said I wanted to accomplish by Labor Day. I can now run a little over 4 miles at a time, so I have succeeded in part!!

1 down, 11 to go!!!!!
 

Okay, hip hip hooray, because I lost another pound!!!! Went to the Madonna concert yesterday-- (she was awesome, but played almost NONE of her old stuff, which made me sad) cheated a little, but not really......Here was my day:

Breakfast:
1 plum 1pt
1 cup of grapes 1pt


Lunch
1 slice of pizza 6pts

Snack
2/3 cup of Kashi GoLean (ugh) 1pt

Dinner
tuna sandwich on a bulkie roll (made at the concert venue so I will count it as 12pts) 12pt
Chips 4pts

Snack
Fat Free Entenmans Cupcake- (Not so bad, actually!!!) 4pts.

Total: 29pts Total allowance: 22-27

Although I was over I did have banked points...so that was not as bad as I thought...

Okay ladies...KEEP THE FAITH...WE CAN DO THIS!

Gi. Well I am still trying to maintain and I think I am doing an ok job. I wasn't up to going to WI last week and TOM comes this weekend so I am not sure if I am going this week either. Depending on my home scale, I might go. Right now the home scale says 163 (which is 161 at WW) so I may go just to get it over. I am not able to attend my favorite Saturday meetings this month so I am less likely to go.

I was really hoping to get down to 157 but it looks like that will take longer than I wanted. At least I am still hovering around 160 so I am glad about that.

My eating has been just ok. I could definitely be doing better and I will work on that the rest of this week. I am going to DH's high school reunion this weekend and I know it will be a major challenge. Good luck to all!
