Feeling sorta blue...

Although my food all weekend was Good, I find myself feeling sorta crappy. I step on the scale & see no movement and it upsets me greatly. I know if I keep it up, I'll do fine, but for now, all I want (but will NOT have) is a Pizza!

Better Feelings

Losing 3 lbs yesterday when I thought I lost 0 was great! I'm finally over that bad feeling I had since eating @ the Party. I'm going to try some Whole wheat Pasta in the up coming days. If I have the same icky feeling I'm going to eliminate pasta from my diet.

Weigh in 2

Lost 3 Pounds this week, Yea!!!!

More tomorrow!

Food Out Feelings in

I don't know why but ever since that party I've been all screwed up. I'll call what I'm doing Abstinence because it's what I'm doing.

Since the 30th of December, I have NOT done the Following:

Ate a Bag of Potato Chips/Doritos/Corn Chips
Gone over allowable points for the day (weekly bonus included)
Ate @ a fast food restaurant
Ate without putting it in my WW log

What I have done is the Following:
Planned meals
Avoided situations where I could cheat
Followed the recommended guidelines for this program

Why am I all of a sudden so angry? I can't figure it out, ever since that damn party I'm not myself.
I had a great time, saw family & friends, and ate what I planned to eat, and yet something went terribly wrong.

I've stuck to my 41 points, but I'm not losing weight, (I'm not exercising either). It feels like the pasta I ate (weighed & measured (7 Points) ) did something that triggered this.

I guess I need to stay away from pasta.

1/9/09 The "Party"

I knew that I had to go to a party last night (Writing this Saturday Morning) so I prepared:

I called the resturant and asked what they were serving. Ceaser Salad was a big no-no so I asked for a plain salad with Romaine Lettuce to be specially made for me.

I also found out that Penne Vodka is 7 Points for a serving and after extensive research, that Chicken Marsala is 15 Points for 4 oz. (Several places had it 15 Points for 10 oz but the resturant guide seemed to be more accurate.)

So I had a very light breakfast:

1 TCP-WW-"McMuffin" - 3 Points
1 Nature Valley Trail Mix Bar - 3 Points

Total - 6 Points

Lunch -
1 Turkey Sandwich made w/ WW Bread - 3 Points
1 Nature Valley Trail Mix Bar - 3 Points
1 package Apricots - 1 point

Total 7 Points
Total for the day 13 Points
Total Remaining 28 Points

With the 34 Points I have for the week remaining, I had 62 points to play with. My dinner was as follows:

1 Portion Penne Vodka - 7 Points
2 Portions Chicken Marsala - 30 Points
1 Garden Salad Made w/ Romain Lettuce, & I picked out Every Cruton - 0 points
1 Serving Fat Free, Calorie Free, Sugar Free, Dressing - 0 points

Total Points 37
Total for the Day 41 (9)

Total borrowed from 34 Weekly Bonus Points 9

Total Remaining for the Day - 0 Points
Total Bonus Points remaining for the week -25 Points

Not too bad, I was 9 points over for the day. I got some disturbing news, that the Popcorn I was eating that I thought was 1 point for the bag, was actually 5 points. I double checked, and it's 2 points.

When I got home I had:

1 Popcorn - 2 points
1 Orange - 0 points

Total Bonus Points remaining for the week -23 Points

I then realized it was a bad thing not to eat my regular Breakfast & Lunch because I was hungry. So before I went to bed I had:

1 WW Strawberry Yogurt - 1 Point
1 Serving Flax Plus Red Berry Cereal - 4 Point

Total 5 Points

Total for the Day 57 Points

Total Bonus Points remaining - 18

Lesson Learned: If there is going to be an event, eat Normal and whatever you have at the end of the day, plus bonus is what you get.

1/8.09 dinner

I had to figure out what to eat to fill my 20 points. I wound up eating the following:

Beef Stew 18 Points (that was 4 Servings!)

WW Bread (2 Slices) 1 Pt

Popcorn - 1 Pt

Total 41

1/8/09 Lunch

Orange - 0 Points

Chili-con-Carne- 8 points
Brown Rice - 4 Points
Chedar Cheese - 2 Points
Onion - 0 Points

Can of Diet Black Cherry Soda - 0 points
