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!

And, I have bad news...
Hubby found out he needs to replace the transmission in his truck. We can't afford to indulge in ANYTHING. The zumba event is 40 minutes away and I've already been into town for my WW meeting this morning. So not only can we really not afford the gas to go, but I can't afford the $20 charge I a sooo bummed!! And I feel horrible because I'm not meeting my challenge this week and I feel like I am letting you all down too. Go ahead, slap my hands!
Do you think we should have a different thread for "Whats in your Tracker: Recipes Version"? I don't want to over take the whole Weight Watchers Support section, but I also want to get it going with more active, weekly threads! Thoughts?
For me, I'm stock in packing and eventually painting my appartment white for the next renters. (eww, the colors I picked were so pretty, shame on them)
Don't want to post my tracker for yesterday because my bf and I did a ''we don't count the point'' dinner. Our system isn't used anymore to big lifestyles and we felt so bad after the dinner (like litteraly BAD, stomach pain and everything).
But for today so far I had or planning to have
Breakfast :
- 2 slices of whole wheat WW bread (2 PP) with american cheese (2 PP) and a banana
Lunch :
- 2 slices of WW bread (2 PP) + 1 oz of turkey sliced (1 PP) + low fat mayo (1 PP) + 1 slice of cheeze (2 PP)
-1 cup of green grape
So far had 10 PP out of 29. We're planning to have chicken cesar salad salad (all home made with light dressing) and I'll try to fit dairy in that, probably glass of milk and some yogourt.
Name: Terri
Location: Illinois
Current Plan: Points Plus, 36 points per day
Current Weight: 251.2
Trigger Foods: Potato chips, baked or regular. I didn't even eat them much before I joined WW, but once I get started I just seem to want more.
Goal for the Week: Getting back to hitting daily points, after the oral surgery disruption. Some days I get close, other days (like yesterday) I just feel out of whack and end up very low because I didn't plan accordingly for feeling out of whack.
Challenge for the Week: Starting with my new personal trainer in a few days. She wants to see my food tracking between yesterday and when I see her, and I'm not supposed to change anything in the meantime even though I'm picking up on things I can improve on. Also just hoping I have enough energy to try and keep up in her sessions.
Second snack later on:
1/2 peach 0 PP
1/4 c. 365 organics 1.5% lowfat cottage cheese 1 PP
Dinner:
2 slices homemade flatbread pizza w/onions, peppers, ham and pineapple - 12 PP (1/6 pizza slice is 6 PP)
2 cups dole italian salad blend 0 PP
25 grams diced cucumbers 0 PP
1 Tbsp Ken's Lite Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette 1 PP
(Normally I'd add some walnuts here to the salad for some low volume pts but oral surgeon said to avoid nuts/seeds for the next few weeks)
MrsD2008 - I'm sorry You aren't letting us down, you have to do what is best for your family. Stress doesn't help weightloss so try to let go of it and move on. Not meeting your goal because you can't is different than not meeting it because you won't or flaked.
Gah I hate summer vacation! I ate like crap yesterday. sigh. I think within my points still but meh. The kids drove me nuts. I was unhappy all around.
A little better than yesterday, food wise. I remembered to cut up and grill some chicken today for salads for the week at least. Today was a rest day physically, my legs are so sore.
My midday and dinner are swapped because I entered it wrong but I don't feel like fixing it lol.
- Morningstar Portabella burgers- while very low in points, is also very low in taste-good factor. It was nasty, actually. I had high hopes for it as a brown bag school lunch option. Ah well.
- The hubz commandeered dinner tonight and made homemade mac and cheese off allrecipe. His calculations were way off, so what I thought was a 6 pt portion, ended up being 12 pts. Wow.
- Two splurges today, 1.5 ounces of potato chips. I'm shocked I didn't eat the entire bag, actually. Go me. And chocolate milk- I didn't care how many pts it had... I NEEDED the CHOCOLATE milk. I can't remember the last time I'd had it, and it was damn good.
- Bud Light with lime. Here I thought I found my miracle beer at 1 pt per bottle, but someone (here) told me it's actually more. Not quite sure how or why* that is.. but I think my heart broke a little. LOL (*Nutrition facts on bottle entered into calc came up 1 pt)
gilsenberry. I always have been counting light beer of any type as 3 points (as it is said in the PP booklet guide) Would be wonderful if it was less! LOL
So tracker of yesterday !
Breadkfast
- 1 cup of special K + 1/2 cup of skim milk (2PP)
- an apple
I have been sick since Saturday afternoon! All weekend my food consisted of plain toast, soup, diet ginger ale and crackers. I think I stayed within points, but I really don't care! Still feeling pretty weak, but I was able to do some scrambled eggs this morning and I am going to try plain pasta tonight, soup for lunch.
Probably didn't help my body that I just wouldn't give myself a break. I still did all the house chores and I completed a coupon binder (my first) in 2 days.
Aww MrsD008 - I hope you have a better day today and feel better!
I don't know about the beer girlsenberry, luckily I don't like beer. I do however like vodka and fruity stuff which is almost always more points. *sigh*
