MissKelly:
Fast food is rare, and when I do now it's either soft tacos at Taco Bell or Jr sandiwches from Arby's, no more than 8 points total for 2 of each. But it's rare. The 2nd job is from home so dinners are home-cooked.
Lunches are Lean Cuisine to keep me from straying to "bad food" and I'm happy with them.
I'm trying to add more water. I'm sure there's too much carbs and I'm trying to find a balance between reducing that without being miserable.
Breakfast & morning Break - fiber one cereal, lowfat milk. coffee, measuring my creamer & keeping it low. vitamuffin.
Lunches: lean cuisine meal + yoplait light yogurts. 1 w lunch, maybe 1 for afternoon snack in addition to a WW string cheese depending on how peckish I am at 3pm.
Dinners: No more than 10-13 points for dinners. Lean meats, side of carbs, side of vegs. Really good w measuring, mking things healthier etc.
Snacks at night can include: WW ice cream bar; 100-cal pack of cheeze-its; stirng cheese (WW); cereal; occasionally a "brownie sundae" = 1 vitatop, 1/4 cup regular ice cream + 1 tbsp hot fudge.
I'm starting to also add in more fruits that I snack on thru-out the workday like watermelon, cherries, orange, strawberries. I'm trying to choose lower sodium things. Things I've removed from my diet: snack bags of cheetos & lays. Using half the creamer as I used to, and keeping it to usually 1 cup coffee (2 a day only occaisonally) as compared to a norm of 3-4 cups a day. No more 20-point fast food sandwiches on weekends. No more weekly dinners from Domino's of 10 wings PLUS some pizza or a sandwich. No more cafeteria large bagels schmeared with a lil full fat cream cheese AND butter. For that matter, no more full fat cream cheese ever now. consciously using less butter overall, and checking sodium on labels.
I like WW for the choices I have. I'm a miserable cow when I have to cut out most carbs, I'll be frank.
I think next week I'll try to eat more of my Weekly Points. Right now I leave most behind. I'll keep trying to tweak one thing every 2 weeks and see what it nets me, I guess. The losses of the first two weeks gave me a false high and the 0's a false low.
Thanks for the advice
