I didn't even count this weekend - then sort of started to today until I saw the apple pie my grandpa made --- oh well. I had points in the low 20's M,T,W,Th, F last week, so all in all I can't have screwed too much up this weekend. I won't get to see the damage until next week because our meeting this week was cancelled.

Thank goodness tomorrow is a new day. I have been soooooo bad for 3 days. No exercise, eating whatever. I did not do nearly as bad as I used to everyday, but I haven't been good by no means. I will get back to it tomorrow. I don't even know why, I think I just got really tired of the same stuff everyday. I am aware that I made mistakes and thank the Lord tomorrow is a new day. I am not going to undo everything that I have worked so hard to do.

Thank Goodness today is a new day!! I, too, have been terrible the past couple days...Not as bad as my pre-ww days, but definitely not on program. This is the week I need to start weighing at the nightly meetings too, so that'll be even more depressing. The question is, To weigh, or not to weigh? The nightly meeting is tomorrow...I'm thinking of skipping a week for the first time since I started program. I feel terrible that I messed up so many days and TOM is due any second, so that in itself has me feeling huge. Today I start my new job, I'm very nervous for that....We'll see how my day goes...I'll post later.

Hi All:

Just checking in. Sounds like we all had the same kind of weekend. I too fell off badly over the weekend, eating whatever. But as I gained back 2lbs last week I did manage to lose 1lb last week, so I only have 1lb to go to be back on track. This week school starts too so I'l be back to walking at the gym. Thank God today is a new day and a new start. Still reaching for the goal. Isn't that an awesome thing! Wishing you all well on your journey today. Check in later.

Well the first day at my new job was, not like I expected. The girl who was supposed to train me for the next 10 weeks until she went on maternity leave, well she quit on Thurs...so I've been pretty much thrown into it. I think I'll manage though. Sounds like lunch is brought in daily by drug reps, so it will be alittle more challenging than my previous job on that aspect, I guess as long as I have my FF dressing in the fridge, I'll manage...most times the lunch also brings a salad....so ...we'll see.
So far today:
B: slim fast/oil/banana 5pts
L: slim fast 3pts, grapes & pineapple 2pts
S: 2pt bar

UGH, dinner!
4 slices pizza and a piece of zucchini bread...
My day is doomed!

I cannot seem to get on track....HELP!

Hey everyone!! Jennifer your day is not ruined. You will be fine. At least now you are more aware. I hope your new job works out well. I know when I start something new I am very nervous. I have to get used to it. Nothing like getting thrown into a job, huh? I have been thinking and I did not enjoy eating like I did this weekend nearly as much as I used to. I enjoy doing what is right for my body more that overeating now. Don't get me wrong, I still like to indulge a little, but not like I used to. Today I have had a good day. Breakfast-all bran cereal bar/grapes=4 pts. lunch-smartone/nectarine/salad=7 pts. dinner-salad/salad shrimp/dressing=7 pts. I worked out at Curves and rode my exercise bike 10 miles. I will probably have a snack in a little bit. Thats all for me, hope you all are having a back on track kind of day!!! If not you will tomorrow. Bye for now.

AJsMommy, hang in there! You'll get into the swing of things with your new job in no time!

Back from the lake, and happy to report that I did pretty well! I believe I stayed on target two days, and used two or three flex points each of the other days. Wayyyyy happy about that as the kiddos were all making smores and fried pies in the fire, but I stayed strong!

Today, however, the TOM monster was rearing it's ugly head. I guess the first day and the last day are the killers for me this month!

Breakfast: Veggie and ham scrambled eggs 6pts
Lunch: yogurt 2pts, rice cakes 2 pts, carrots with ff ranch 1pt
Snack: 94% ff popcorn 1pt
Dinner: spaghetti w/sauce 9pts, green beans 1pt, ww carrot cake 1pt
Killer: Hershey bar 5pts

28 total. I must be missing something, I didn't bring my log book to the puter with me, but I was sure I was 1 point over!

Hi Everyone:

AJ's Mommy - Don't be so hard on yourself. It doesn't sound like you did so bad. Learning a new job is tough to begin with. And the fact that you have to master this without the person who was supposed to train you is crazy. So just take it a little at a time. After a week or two you will probably feel more comfortable with things. One thing I do is try to have a good breakfast every morning. I plan what I'm going to eat the night before. I also keep the frozen dinners in my fridge when I can't cook something up. I look beyond the Lean Cuisines to other dinners that stay within the points, but taste really good. If I put something in my mouth, it has to satisfy the taste buds. Otherwise I am always looking for something else to eat. So take a deep breath.

Yesterday:
B/1 Egg, Toast, Lite Butter 1/2 C Milk - 5pts
S/Chips - 1 pt
L/Mama Rosie's Lasagna 6pts
WW Ice Cream 2 pts

Ital. Wedding Soup 4pt
Roll w/Lite butter 3pts

Cookie (oops) 4pts....25pts

Not been eating that well myself. I am already at 23 points for the day and only 1:30 pm. I start my Masters classes tonight. I think part of me is just dreading giving up that much time for the next two years.

Hello everyone! I am not doing well either. WTH???? What are we all doing??? I weighed in last night and maintained. THANK GAWD!!! I ate birthday cake all weekend long. Butterfinger ice cream too. Anyway, scale showed a gain this morning. I think it caught up to me. I am doing great so far today.

Breakfast
oatmeal 3 pts

Gym
5 minute warm up walking
30 minutes with trainer
at that point, I had only burned 293 calories.
So, I did 15 minutes at 4mph on an incline and burned a total of 453!

Lunch
left over Capallini Pomodoro from Olive Garden and one bread stick 6+2.5.

Doing something with pork chops tonight. Not sure what.

I wish there were some sort of challenge we could do with actual consequences to each other. Any ideas........let me know. --Amy

Quick note, cuz I'm tired!!
I gained 2.25lbs this week which is OK with me!! #1. I weighed at night instead of the day, #2. I ate like CRAP this weekend and #3. I am due to start TOM tomorrow.....so how can I be mad? I think I did ok.

Tonight this drug rep took us to dinner, I had to go as I'm new and had to mingle w/the girls... I ate like crap of course and drank, for the first time in a looooooooong time. I actually called my mom from a bathroom stall, told her to pick up my brothers g/f and come get me, so one person could drive my car home...I felt too tipsy to drive..how pathetic is that!!! But it was fun, and I got to know them better.......so far so good

I ended the day with 23 - so far so good. Tomorrow I go on a 2 day 8hrs one way bus trip with the high school football team for a game on Friday. I think it is going to be buffets all the way - I am going to bring some snacks and a journal to try to keep on track.

Today went pretty well! At 10:00 p.m. I realized I was 8 points under for the day, so I drank a big cup of chocolate milk....used up the points and got some dairy into my system as I hadn't had any yet today.

Breakfast: english muffin with jelly 3pts
Lunch: sandwich 2pts, baked chips 2pts, piece of candy 2pts
Dinner: 2 lite hot dogs 4pts, corn on the cobb 2pts, salad w/lite dressing 2pts, part of a hamburger(no bun) 3pts.
Snack: chocolate milk 7pts.
