I think the funny thing about my planning today is that I didn't plan. I will be at work late tonight, so I just made lunch and dinner this morning and packed snacks. I didn't do the points until I got to work. Guess I have definitely learned how to balance my day and make good choices!

this is my third time joining weight watchers. i have found it easier for myself not to plan ahead much. that way i don't feel like i am breaking a rule if i change my day up a little. any way here is what i ate yesterday.

1/2 cup 1% milk(1pt)
S: banana(2pts)
L: scwans turkey and veggies(4pts)
1/2 cup pasta salad(3pts)

I really need to start getting in more oil and dairy, but it is hard when I have to work late and can't "cook" a dinner!

Oh man, I'm losing it this week. I don't know if you guys have gone through this, but this week I am just so hungry. I have eaten dinner, had my usual cup of tea, and two hours later I am so hungry I could eat a whole other dinner! I have never experienced it so fiercely before, and even in the morning when I wake up, I am absolutely ravenous. I don't know what's going on but I hope it stops! I've gone into my (non-existent after Monday's birthday dinner) flex points every day this week because my stomach has hurt so bad. I tried ignoring it and drinking multiple glasses of water but it wasn't thirst as I was hoping. I know I need to eat more vegetables to take up my points but it's been a busy week and I haven't had a chance to get to the store to get more. I intend to go tomorrow!!

B: Oatmeal (3) with dried cranberries (1)
L: Soup (1), pita (2), cheesestring (1)
S: Mini Breaks (2)
D: Cajun chicken burger (4), a vegetable probably in oil (1), baked sweet potato wedges (3)
S: Cup of tea with milk/sugar (1.5)
