  • oh no, its not public radio pledge time again????
    Oh dear, not a four hour click and clack marathon !

    So, Patch darling, heed the words of wise melissa - take the hit and move on!

    Easier said than done these days.

    If you don't go to wahoos today you'll hurt the cashier's feelings and their stock will tumble.

    Good for you for volunteering.

  • it's just plain UNFAIR that danishes are 10 points. Okay, I've said my piece...
  • Yes, I went over, but I did have some successes in conference eating. I had my soy drink for breakfast that I took from home (it comes in a juice box thing) rather than a bagel or muffin at the continental breakfast. While I did have some apple pie (I vowed I'd pass on it, but it called my name) I just nibbled on the sliced apples on top and had a tiny bit of the crust leaving the most fattening part. And left one of the two slices of fresh mozarella with mozarella and tomato salad. I missed my WI this week but according to my home scale Wed. morning I either stayed the same or lost a half lb.

    Morning
    vigoraide 4

    Midday
    Conference
    tomato and mozarella salad 3
    crisp bread 1
    pasta primavera 5
    1/2 slice apple pie 4

    Evening
    chinese bean curd with garlic sauce 6
    ww bar 2
    graham crackers 1

    Total: 26

    Exercise: None other than walking from Port Authority to the meeting and back, but that was a real short walk really.
  • Myra, I WISH i could do 26 points. You are the WW Queen, no doubt, hands down.

    patch - I WISH there was a Wahoo's around here. Sounds like good stuff!

    and happy belated birthday to the mama of lala
  • But I'm only supposed to do 23. This past week couldn't do that but one day. Lucky I exercise a lot.
  • I'm confused. Myra, can't you eat all your activity points?

    Then again, this whole thing is confusing and well, I'm the queen of the 16 month (longer than the gestation period of an elephant) plateau.

    Maybe I need to read all my materials again.

    Myra, give yourself a break - you are doing great and very, very
    disciplined if I say so myself.

  • Supposedly you can eat the activity points, but when I do I tend to gain or don't lose so I just ignore the activity points. I have been much more successful once I did that.
