Goal for the Week: Start my new meetings on Mondays, track every day.
Challenge for the Week: Try 1 new recipe during the week.
How can we help You this week?: Suggestions for breakfast recipes/foods/ideas? I'm getting burnt out on English muffins, egg beaters, oatmeal!

Goal of the week- hit my 2nd 5% goal.. I'm only 2 lbs away! Kicking myself that I could've hit it already if I hadn't derailed between the 3rd and 6th. I think I'm back on track, tho!

Challenge of the week- Honestly, I'd be happy to get at least 1 workout in after the last few weeks of dropping the ball. I'ma go get my workout clothes on and do it now!

MrsD, I've been eating fried egg breakfast sandwiches on eng muffins, and am getting a bit burnt out, too. I've been craving an icy glass of milk for about a week.. so I had a bowl of Special K cereal w/ strawberries (3 pts/ 1 cup) with 2% milk (2 pts/ .5 c).. total 5 pts. Problem is I know it won't have the staying power my sandwiches do. How about a smoothie? A few of us posted recipes in that "1 food u rely on" thread I mentioned earlier.

Happy Friday, peeps.

Goal for the Week: Water, water water! Also Body Pump tonight, cardio tomorrow, zumba on wednesday.
Challenge for the Week: Track everything! Even if I have to write it down. I'm going out of town and may or may not have internet access.
How can we help You this week?: Remind me that TOM does not mean I can eat everything in sight! *laughs*

I'm going with a friend to her cabin in Big Bear, CA with my kids this Sunday through Wednesday. The good news... should be lots of hiking. The bad news is I'm not sure how easy it will be to account for food and eat properly. It is going to be especially important since I'll be missing some gym time. I'm nervous about it. But I have to be able to do it sometime!

ETA NSV: I originally portioned out 6 ounces of chicken for myself as well as a bigger potato and another beer. I was starting to get full and realized I didn't need to eat and drink everything just because it was in front of me and I would feel better if I didn't do that to myself. OMG it was like an epiphany. So simple. Why have I never considered this before? I was able to eat a more reasonable dinner plus have a small dessert and not feel uncomfortable or overfull.

Wow, yesterday sucked. Lots of crappy choices, no self-control.. then MIL ended up in the hospital and I was there until 2:30AM, snacking on vending machine food. So that leads me to a question... if you're snacking after midnight do you count that as the previous days pts... or the following days pts? I jokingly told my SO it was okay to eat the crap cuz it was technically the next days pts, and he said next days pts only start counting after you wake up. What would you do? I went ahead and counted them all as yesterdays pts.. woke up and starting fresh with a new day.

Good for you for tracking all that and facing the numbers. Once I get to a certain point I usually give up and just assume I've used all my extra points and stick to my daily target for the rest of the week.
Or give up altogether and start again on Monday.

Yeah, I decided that I need the embarrassment to keep me in check. I hadn't tracked the pts, to be honest.. but I went through right before I posted and figured it all out. God I was hungry for crap all day/night. I started over, again, today and so far so good. I ran to the grocery store and stocked up on apples, bananas, and watermelon. Fruit & raw veggies help. Did y'all see the recipe on WW's facebook page about watermelon "popsicles"?

I saw the picture but didn't look at the recipe. Let us know how it is if you try it!

If I can stay away from my homemade iced coffees, I'd be golden.. the milk is so high-pointed, but I need at least 1 cup to get the consistency I like. I've discovered diet cherry Dr. Pepper is da bomb, which is probably not a good thing. *sigh*
