Well, today's the day...My first WI since Oct. I'm nervous, only cuz I know what my scale says and so my expectations are high. I did really well last night, I had 1/2 of my steak (4.5pts) 1/2 my potato (1.5 pts, butter is 2pts) and 1/2 my salad w/bbq as my dressing (1pt). It was a very stressful afternoon, my son misbehaved in school, somewhat seriously and so my anxiety was very high...I couldn't have eaten more if I tried. Hopefully things get back on track on all aspects and life moves forward on a positive note. Please pray for my son and our family. He's a great kid, just sometimes his brain doesnt' think before his mouth does.

SweetCakes you should really consider adding milk to your diet.We need at least 800mg of calcium a day.If we don't get it our body takes it from our bones.I know that doesn't seem real right now but it asyou get older it will be a problem.People are being diagnosed earlier and earlier with osteporosis.Just a suggestion.Plus it will help you get your points.

fitbyforty,
Yeah I really need to, but I HATE milk..lol. Wonder if taking a calcium pill or whatever will help me with that area ??

That sounds like a good idea SweetCakes.It certainly couldn't hurt.There are other ways to get calcium too which I am sure you know.Do you like yogurt?Weight Watchers makes a good one that doesn't taste like yogurt which is why I like it.I hate yogurt.Cheese of course.Have you tried milk with some chocolate powder?Chocolate milk even.I should be getting more myself but I am too stingy with my points lol.Starting today I will make that change and drink a big glass.I work out 2 hours most days I can afford a glass of milk:)

I've never had yogurt, the one time I can remember I had it, I didn't like it. lol I may have to try the WW yogurt tho, I'll try that and see if I like it. If nothing else, I'll get a pill for it. haha I do like cheese, I guess I could add that to some of my food... It's 2 points for a slice of cheese right ??

That's 14 points for the day. I have 14 to go.. We will most likely get subs again tonight for dinner, so thats 7 points, I may add some cheese and get some fruit in today as a snack! I'll see what I can do...


Lunch
WW Ziti Marinara = 6 points
w/ cheese = 2 points
2 bread = 1 point
_______________
TOTAL = 9 points

I'm curious about what kind of bread you eat.I would like to have bread that gives me 2slices for 1point.What brand is it?

I get the Natures Own-White Wheat.. It's way less calories than reg. bread and with the points calculator its 2 slices = 1 point!!! Very good bread too.. :)

Thanks I am going to give that a try.

Before I forget, Fit by Forty......I eat Sara Lee Delightful whole wheat bread. It is great. Even Aunt Hatties makes bread that is 2 for 1 point. That has been a true lifestyle change for me along with the whole wheat pasta.

Okay, so last night was weigh in. I did it!! I made my two pound goal. For those of us re-joining or re-starting or re-anything. We need to remember how flexible this program is. It is so doable. I ate a choc. dipped cone, choc. cake, pecan pie. and had a couple beers over last week. I used all my 35 flex points. Now, I don't plan to do this every week, but we were with friends and family all last weekend. That is real life for me. Anyway, we need to not be too strict while on this. If we want to not binge and fall "off the wagon" we need to indulge within our points. Okay, off my soap box. I am just very happy.

Today so far has been good.

Breakfast
energy bar 3pts

lunch
bread 1
Hillshire pastrami 1
Cheese 2
mustard 0
100 calorie cheetos 2

I worked out for 50 minutes today.

Tomorrow I am supposed to hit the gym at 6am for cardio. We will see if I can get my transcribing done this afternoon. I have long tapes with a girl scout cookie meeting today as well. Cookie selling starts Saturday. That brings on a whole new bunch of challenges. Yuk!!!

Jennifer~hang in there with your son. Will pray for ya today. Positive thoughts all your way!
