Houlihans Dinner Out

Well It wasn't too bad, I did have to use 5 extra points & I'll probably uses another 2 or 3 before the night is over, but I got through it.

My dinner was:

8 oz Hamburger Patty (No Bun)- 13 Points
1 Slice Swiss Cheese - 2 Points
1 Cup Mushrooms - 0 Points
Oil Mushrooms were cooked in - 2 Points
Steamed Broccoli - 0 Points
Salad (Plain) - 0 Points
Cauilflour (Made w/ Bacon & Cheese) -3 Points
1 Breadstick - 2 Points

Total 22 Points

Used 5 Bonus Points

Total Left for the Week (So Far)

30 Bonus Points.

I will probably have 1 bag of the 1 Point Popcorn, & maybe a Yougurt before bed.

First Test

Well it didn't take long to have a wrech thrown into my plans...

I have to go OUT to dinner tonight w/ only 17 points for the rest of the day. So it looks like I'm going to have to use some of the 35 Points I was not planning on using.

I'm going to look up stuff in the WW book so I can Plan Ahead:

3 oz of Plain Chicken Breast is 3 Points so I'll call that 1 pt/ oz.

Salad is 0 points with no dressing, but I have some Fat Free Calorie Free Dressing I can bring

French Fries are 10 points for 20!! Even a Medium order @ McD's is only 6, need to stay away from them.

Looks like 1/2 cup of Mashed is 2 Points, that will work.

Gonna be a tough night, I'll let you all know how it goes.

12/31/08 - Lunch

Well I made it from Breakfast to lunch w/o Snacking, & I don't know if it's just my mind, or that I'm really making an effort but I actually feel full & I'm not quite done with Lunch yet.

1 cup - Chili-con-Carne - 8 pts (I'd usually have twice as much)
1 cup - Mixed Rice - 4 Points
3/4 oz - Cheese - 2 Points
1 cup - Carrots - 1 Point

Total Lunch - 15 Points

Total for the Day - 27 Points

Total Remaining - 15 Points

Total Weekly Bonus Remaining 35 Points

I Vacuumed the Living room this morning and moved furniture, I decided not to excersize until later, hopefully before dinner.

My First Day

Well, here goes...

12/31/08: (291.6 pounds Fully Clothed (No Shoes))

I decided (thanks to my Sister-in-law) to go to Weight Watchers. I'm on the "Points" system. According to the sheet I filled out @ WW (WW = Weight Watchers from this point forward) and it said I get 40 Points/Day, and 35 'bonus' points/week. When I went on to WW.com, it said I have 42 Points/Day, and 35 'bonus' points/week. So I'll go with the 42, & see how it goes.

I plan on NOT using the 35 bonus points unless I'm going to a Party or a family event.

My Breakfast today was:

Flax Plus Cereal (Red Berry) - 1 serving - 4 Pts.
WW Raspberry Yogurt - 1 serving - 1 Pt.
Nature Valley Trail Mix Fruit & Nut Bar -3 Pts.
2 Slices of WW MultiGrain Toast - 1 Pt. (Regular Bread would have been 4 pts!)
1 TBSP Land-o-Lakes Light Butter w/ Canola Oil - 1 Pt.

Total 10 Pts.

Believe it or not I actually feel like I could make it to lunch.
