WW Week 3 Results

After that .2lb loss last week and being so bummed about it I weighed in 2.8lbs lighter this week - YIPPEE!

I was alittle worried about it because of Saturday nights dinner - ended going to a restaurant that my brother-in-law suggested - real Southern Cooking. So I tried to watch what I ate and moved on. I decided that meal used up all my remaining weekly points and then I would stay within my daily points on Sunday and Monday.

Each week and for the first 10 weeks of Weight Watchers you get different motivational booklets - this weeks is on Habits, Behaviors that will help you loose weight. Can hardly wait for Week 8 - Beyond Chicken, I think by then I maybe growing feathers and clucking.

OK, here's my stats so far:
Week 3 WW: -2.8lbs
WW Total: -6.0lbs
Total Journey: -12.0lbs (WOW - double digits)
May 1st Goal: 5lbs to go

I know I will not make my May 1st Goal - but sometimes its not just achieving the goal its what you learn along the way. I have set standards for myself - to make the best choice at the time and look past the pitfalls - its all part of my journey.

Friday and I'm Tired!

Boy am I tired today but rightfully so since I closed last night, got home at midnight, up at 4:30am and back at work at 7. Happy those shifts are very few and very far between and I need to be back in tomorrow at 5am - so to bed I go very, very soon. So not much planning ahead for the meals today but this is what I had:


Breakfast: 1/2c orange juice, coffee, Arnold's Sandwich Thin, one slice American Cheese, and 1 tsp Smart Balance Spread

Lunch: Chick Fil A Chargrilled Chicken Garden Salad with Fat Free Honey Mustard Dressing and grapes (which I actually ate on the way home)

Dinner: Jody wasn't hungry tonight so I opted for Lean Cuisine Mac n' Cheese, Steamed Cauliflower and Milk

So with tomorrow just a few hours away I have made my salad for lunch - grilled chicken strips over leaf lettuce, 2T each shaved almonds and dried cranberries, 2T Light Raspberry/Walnut Salad Dressing. Other than that not really sure what else is on the menu for tomorrow, really kind of thinking burgers for dinner.

I was amazed how warm it had gotten today - 88; too early for that but at least the nights are still cool. It would be a great weekend to ride to the mountains but unfortunately I'll be riding to work. OK enough whining.

Well, I'm off to bed.

OK - Not Bummed Anymore!

Other than tired this morning I'm not bummed anymore - Brenda and Kim thanks for the comments. Had a good day yesterday following WW program - but I have never strayed since I started always counted everything. So I will keep tracking my food and activity and maybe start blogging more - maybe in both my blogs.

Today's meal plan:

Breakfast: (repeat yesterday) 1/2c OJ, Egg White/Mushroom Omelet, 1c Fat Free Milk

Lunch: Arbonne Protein Shake with 1 scoop fiber powder

Dinner: Subway 6in Sub (either turkey & ham or beef)with lots of veggies on whole wheat, baked chips and apple

Snacks: yogurt, Fiber One Bar

Time to start my day - puppies are hungry.

I'm Bummed!

Had my weigh in last night and only lost .2 lbs! I was on program, tracked my points, drank my water but missed allot of activity but still had my weeklies left and I'm bummed. I really felt like a 2 pound loss not a .2!

Ok, enough of that - I feel better now - back on program. Today's meal plan:

Breakfast: 1/2c OJ, Egg White & Mushroom Omelet, 1c Fat Free Milk

Lunch: (closing at work tonite) Arbonne Protein Shake w/ 1/2 scope fiber powder

Dinner: Salad (1c Whole Wheat Pasta, Spinach, 2T feta, 1/2c Navy Beans, 4 olives, 2T Light Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad Dressing) Yogurt

Snacks: Large Apple, Fiber One Bar, 1c Fat Free Milk

Activity: Since I'm working tonite (my excuse) - I will do extra laps around the store.

Ok, here are the Stats:
Week 2 WW: -.2 lbs gone
WW Total: -3.2 lbs gone
Total Journey: -9.2 lbs gone
May 1st Goal: 7.8 lbs to go

Off to start my day.

WW Week1 - Journey Week 9

Had a great week, made good choices and stay within my 'points.' At least for this week going to Weight Watchers was the right choice. I planned my meals, wrote down everything and drank my Water....Water ....and more Water. The next thing I need to do is get in more activity each day - alittle hard since my work days are long - I know excuses.


Weekly Stats: -3 lbs gone
Total: -9 lbs gone forever
May 1st Goal - 8 more to go!

I might just get closer to my May 1st goal than I think.

Update Week 8

I know I missed a week. But last week as I was struggling with my commitment I made a decision, on Monday morning I walked into and rejoined Weight Watchers. I had been on it before and it worked so well - so why not again. A little embarrassed because I'm a fallen Lifetime Member but glad to be back with the support of both the meetings and the online community. I left the center armed with all the new material and a new commitment to continue on with this journey.

Made a great dinner tonight - Penne with Sausage and Roasted Pepper Sauce - quick and easy - plus steamed broccoli and cauliflower. I started off the day with a mushroom omelet and for lunch a boca burger on a whole wheat english muffin and add to the day fresh strawberries and grapes and a banana (small) for the fruits of choice for the day. Oh yeah, how could I forget Water, Water, Water and more Water!


So here are my stats as of now - which I will change and update with my WW weigh-ins next week:

Week 7 & 8 - 1lb loss
Total - 6lbs gone
May 1st goal - 11 lbs to go

I think my May 1st goal is going to be a little tough since I have been dabbling with this.
Oh well, off to plan tomorrows meals.
