1/4/09 - Lunch

Had TCP's Chicken Pot Pie for lunch w/ Brown Rice (11 points)

1 Diet Black Cherry Soda.

Did the food shopping, got lean center cut Pork Chops on sale (only 1 Point per oz)

Also Picked up lots of chicken breasts (boneless & skinless)


Going to do lots of cooking for the week while the games are on.

More Later.

1/4/09 - The Morning After Breakfast

I was going to complain about yesterday some more, but I decided to be positive and just move forward.

I had "Work Breakfast #1" today - 11 Points

Plus 2 glasses - Crystal Lite Sunrise Orange

From Bad to worse, but still OK w/ points

I won't say who, but I was with someone that ordered Pizza for dinner. Lucky for me I had 17 points after having a 1 point Popcorn w/ 2 Glasses of Sunrise Orange Crystal Lite.

I wound up eating 3 Slices of Mushroom Onion Pizza 18 Points

1 Diet Black Cherry Soda 0 points.

So I used 1 of the Bonus Points today & am down to 28 from now until next Wednesday.

43 for the day.

I'll have 2 More glasses of the Crystal Lite b4 Bed.

I'm definitely getting on the Wii Fit tomorrow.

Not mad, just dissapointed in my choices.

Thrown a Curve Ball, Didn't hit a Home Run but got through it...

Sometimes I think that I'm being tested every day of the week. Today was no exception,

I didn't have popcorn @ the Movie, BTW, unless you like History I wouldn't suggest seeing Valkery, so when it was suggested that I check out a new Burger place called Jake's I figured It would be OK. Well not so much.

There burgers come in 3 sizes the Jr (which I didn't see until after I ordered) 3.3 Oz
The Jakes Burger 6.6 Oz & the Super Jake 9.9 Oz.

I went with the 6.6 oz on a bun w/ Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle & Raw Onion.
NO French Fries & a 20 oz Diet Pepsi.

The Guide I have only had Ground beef that was 85/15 so I went with that and figured out the meal was 13 Points which still left me with 21 for dinner, I was happy with that.

I came home & looked up 80/20 ground beef & saw it is 2 Points/oz which makes just the MEAT over 13 Points.

Adding the Bun & Ketchup puts me at 16 for a burger. 24 for the day with 18 reamining.

The worst part is I'm still hungry. The Food was good, I have no complaints there, freshly cooked, but what a waist of 16 points.

I have some 4 Point Frozen meals, I might have one before dinner to get me through, I'm not sure yet.

I thik that I really need to read the Menu throughly before making a choic next time. If I had I coulf have shaved 6 points off the meal by ordering a Jr.

Not a set back, just a precaution, when you eat out, read first.

I'm running downstairs to have 2 glasses of Crystal Lite Sunrise Orange.

1/3/09 - Breakfast & Something I did not know

I decided to cut down on my points this morning so if I want a big dinner I can have one, Maybe a few extra ounces of Chicken in my "TCP's Chicken Pot Pie w/o the Crust".

Here was my breakfast:

1 TCP-WW "McMuffin" - 3 Points
(1 WW English Muffin -1 pt; 1 Slice Land-o-Lakes American Cheese - 1pt; 2 Mini Turkey Sausage Patties - 1pt)

1 WW Black Cherry Yogurt - 1 Pt
1 Serving (55g) of Flax Plus Red Berry Cereal - 4 Points

2 Glasses of Crystal Light Sunrise Orange Drink - 0 points

We've been using 2% Milk for a while now & I'm heavy on the milk in my coffee. I discovered 1 cup of 2% milk is 3 Points! I'm going to see how many points 1% & Skim milk are. If neither is 0 points, I guess coffee will be off my list of drinks.

Even though I use about 1/3 a cup in my coffee, (only 1 point) I'd prefer not to drink anything that will cause me to lose points during the day.

I'm going to the Movies later I looked up 3 cups of Oil Popped popcorn is 3 points, so I can have a small popcorn (no butter) w/o worrying about going over my points.

Unofficial Weigh in

I decided to see how I'm doing this morning, by weighing in on the digital scale downstairs. Now before I tell you all the weight, I feel I should let you know that I was fully clothed (minus shoes) @ WW, while when I went downstairs, I was just in shorts.

I was stunned when I stepped on the scale and saw 279.8 pounds! It's been a LONG time since I've seen anything below 280. Assuming that I had 7 pounds of clothing on the day of the weigh in, I've gone from 291.6/284.6 to 286.8/279.8, that's 4.8 Pounds in 3 days!

I'm sure that like most diets, the weight comes off much faster in the beginning than as you move forward, but 4.8 pounds is pretty amazing I'm only .4 pounds away from 10% of my goal in my first week.

Assuming I lose another pound or 2 before my official WW weigh in, I'll drop from 42 to 41 or maybe even 40 points. that's good for me. If this goes as planned, I'll be down to 30 by years end, which is awesome.

I plan, on hitting the Wii Fit today, we will see if that pans out.

More after Breakfast

TCP

"4th Meal"

I had to consume 11 more points so I had the Following "4th Meal"

2 WW Cherry Cheesecake Yogurts - 2 pts

2 Portions of Flax Plus Pumpkin Seed Cereal - 6 Points

1 WW English Muffin - 1 Point

2 Mini Turkey Sausage Patties - 1 point

1 Slice Land O Lakes American Cheese - 1 point

Total 11 Points

Total for the day 42 Points

It's hard to believe I've lasted 3 Days on this thing. I usually bomb after a day or some sort of challange like a long drive or just leaving the house.

I'll keep it going...
