I know MrsD2008 has been busy (and wasn't feeling well!) so I thought I would start the new thread for her

Copy and pasted from the other thread:

Introduce yourself by answering any or all of these questions. Then feel free to add your tracker when it's convenient for you. I like doing mine at night because it makes me feel accomplished for the day and sets me up for a fantastic next day! If you have already answered these questions in a previous week, don't worry about answering all of them again! Goal of the Week, Challenge of the Week and How can we help you can be answered every week if you wish!

Lifetime Goal: (this one is easy! If you're unsure, don't feel pressured to fill it in. And if you're curious about what a "healthy BMI" for you is, check out the back of your weight tracker from meetings, or use some google power!)

Thanks Patchy! I think Mrs. D was doing Friday thru Thursday tho.. so here's my Friday tracker, I'll post Saturdays tonight.

Still nauseous from stress, so I didn't eat a whole lot. I ended up with lots of points by dinnertime, so I splurged on a half order of nachos from Denny's- exactly what I was craving! I got their Pacific NW iced coffee special and it was GOOD! but I didn't know at the time (I'd only pre-budgeted for the nachos) that it was 7 pts, I was shocked when I came home and figured it out- so I did a quick workout and broke even on points.

I wonder what is up with that? I've been tracking my TOM on my point-tracker excel sheet, and I've also noticed that I'm insatiably hungry for like 2 days before my TOM, too. Maybe it's our bodies way of gearing up for the possibility of getting pregnant?

I'm not sure, I would assume that sort of gearing up would happen toward ovulation but I remember reading an article once that we don't really gain weight at TOM but just that we tend to eat more instinctually. I might have to google it.

I had a tuna melt today, it was so freaking good but I'm absoultely stuffed and am going to try to stick to greens and fruit for the rest of the day I think.

Ugh, horrible food day today. :-/

That's not terribly bad, patchymama.. at least you're still under your point alottment. We, on the other hand, went to my most favorite pizza joint in town, for the first time in months, and I said "screw it!" and ate 5, A-MA-ZING pieces. I could only estimate the amounts, so my 20 pts over could potentially be more.

I've been having a rough time, too, maybe this thread will help. I have been doing really well on WW and suddenly all I want to eat is junk. I've started a new job where they have cakes/cookies/chips/crap in the break room constantly and nobody tries to eat healthy (but they have all had or are planning to have WLS, go figure) and I don't know if I am resentful that I can't eat that stuff and am acting out or what is wrong with me but I need to get back on track, pronto.

Here's my questionnaire:
Name: Spooky
Location: MD, USA
Current Plan: Points Plus (the best plan ever)
Current Weight: 212.8 lbs (last WW weigh in)
Lifetime Goal: 140 lbs right now, will reevaluate when I get there
Trigger Foods: Chips/french fries/cookies/crap
Goal for the Week: To track every day and stay within my points, meet all of the GHG at least 5 days this week
Challenge for the Week: I will exercise at least 3 days this week
How can we help You this week?: Nudge me if I haven't checked in with my tracker? That seems to be my biggest difficulty right now, tracking everything.

Holding my place, will update with today's tracker later.

Monday, 7/4/11:

Breakfast:
Coffee/sugar/creamer: 3 PP (yes, I use real sugar in my coffee and it is AWESOME)
Special K/banana/skim milk: 5 PP
Subtotal: 8 PP

Um, yeah, so the rest of my day was blown. I had a sandwich for lunch, half a fried seafood platter and ice cream for dinner (at a carnival) and am now having a beer.

GAH. Tomorrow I am taking: yogurt, fruit, and a lean cuisine to work. It will be a better day.

Welcome to the thread Spooky! Will nudge as needed

True - girlsenberry - at least theoretically. I had to guess at the tuna melt much like your pizza and it is probably more. I think I've had a few days like that this week and I hate it. I'm up a pound or so as of right now but that very well could be water/TOM stuff.

I'm going to be more careful the next 3 days and try to get myself back on track

Grr I can't update my plan manager because I need to add a recipe for bread... Seems to be a technical problem at WW because I tried two different browsers.

I also had once slide of homemade wheat bread that I think is probably about 2 points. I have a feeling I've overestimated lunch (I had a sandwich from whole foods) but I wanted to be on the safe side.

Looking forward to kicking my butt and doing spin and body pump again tomorrow. I've been lazy lol.

Anyone bother tracking yesterday due to the holiday? I went to my sisters annual potluck/fireworks party, so I tracked what I ate, but not the points. I'm okay with doing it on special occasions- I ended up having a taste of nearly everything over the course of several hours.. I didn't feel uncomfortably full, nor did I feel any guilt (now or then). Today is a new day, let the tracking begin.

Patchy, you've got 2 oz/ 6 pts listed for salt and pepper- that's like a container of salt! Normally a sprinkling of S&P is zero, right? A Subway 6" roast beef sub sandwich w/o cheese is 8 pts, and add 2 pts for cheese.. even with your pickle, lettuce, cuke, mustard, S&P I would think it would only be 10 pts total... was it a foot long? If so, your points seem correct, but wow the salt thing threw me off. LOL
