Check'n in..

Sorry I've been MIA, like I posted a couple days ago, I am visiting Mama at my old home town. I've been pretty busy, and have not been great about staying OP, but not for the lack of trying. It really is sooo hard when you aren't preparing the food, and alot of the food has been bought as it's a large crew here and so busy, so we just do what is easiest. I am trying to eat as best I can when I have control and then (usually for one meal a day) I'll slip OP, the first couple days I tried counting...but again, so hard... I am not planning on going crazy and eat a cazzilion chocolate bars because I've stopped counting till Monday (new week) I am still going to make the best choices, given my options.

I can't really tell you what the scale is saying. My Mom has one, but who knows if it is the 'same' as mine and I don't really want to go get neked in her bathroom first thing in the morning to weigh myself. Thought I did get on it tonight, fully clothed, after diner and I was about what I usually am in the morning...so might be 'holding' so far...or my Mom might have a kind scale...who knows. Next week; Monday to Sunday. I only have one 'eat out' meal to worry about. Some old friends and I are getting together for diner at a very good Italian place...so that will be my only hurdle...so I plan to count next week and stay OP.

But off the weight loss note, I'm having a great time here. The weather is great and my dd is loving having a backyard to play in, and seeing all her cousins. Today we went to a local amusement park and it was a great time. DD was asleep before we left the parking lot! I've done a bit of shopping, yaaa, and hope to do some more, including hitting Ikea!!! (Glad I brought the truck!). I don't plan on shopping too much for me as I hope to lose, lose, lose and am planning a bigger shopping trip in Vegas in Nov. (4m away) so I should have a need for new things then.

Well I am off to bed...I hope to check in again soon...I'll be back to regular postings Fri. July 6th...Take care and I hope everyone is being a loser.

and Good night

So here ends another fabulous day on the WW plan....I *just* ate all my regular points (all 30 of them). I made a bigger lunch, which turned out quite fabulous if I do say so....I was temped to take a picture...maybe next time.

Pasta Zucchini
1 to 2 cups of pasta of your choice (4 to 8 pts)
sauteed zucchini and onion (I uses a sweet onion) with your favorite seasoning blend
Top pasta with 30 grams (1pt) of skim milk cheese, then top w/ sauteed Z+O...and I drizzled 2 tsp of good olive oil (trying to add points but also adds some flavor) and salt pepper to taste.

Was quite yummy with out having an actual 'sauce' per-say. The hubby really enjoyed it as well. Ours was 11pts. but again we have high points, you could do a nice lunch/diner for 5-6 points...Makes me want to do more pasta dishes....

On my previous post I comment on my treat indulgence....so today I ate (out of 30) 6 points of treats....hmmm eh not that bad...

So nighty night....oh and I am heading out of town tomorrow, but I will do my best to keep posting....

Goooooood Morning....

So I wake up to another rainy, grey day, uhgggg. I hate how they play havoc on how you feel!! It's been several days now too.
So I WI again this am, sorry I am an addicted WI'er. So I was down another .8lbs! PLUS!! Now it seems I am in the 250's in the morning AND in the evening!! So a total and official member of the 250's. yaaaaaa. I also realized that I only have about 6-7lbs to lose before I drop in points! From 30 to 28! Yikes. But really I find 30 too many to eat right now. I was looking back on my journals, and I really do eat a lot of 'treats' with my daily points. Like for example yesterday I had 10 out of my 30 points in treats (ummm 4 fudgciles and 2 Popsicles). Most days it's at least 4-8points for treats, which really is alot!

I recall before on WW I thought to myself that I should do my best to eat all my daily food as healthy food and any treats I have use only my FP for them....but eating 30pts of reg. food, yikes that's alot!! But really I guess I could have a glass of milk or 2 or some cheese and that would help use up the points too...What do you guys do, regarding treats and what /how many points you use?

These next 10 days are going to be challenging...I am going to my Mom's place and I already, out of 10 days, have 5 meal based actvites plus 1 trip to an amusement park planned. Yikes!!! But I will just plan to do good, and my Mom knows that I am on WW so I know she'll prepare better meals. Plus her husband can't eat any flour products so that helps out as well.

Well I should go work on the laundry for my trip, and tidy up this mess called a house. Oh for breakfast I deviated from my usual, life cereal or Cheerios and milk. I had instant oatmeal with 2 T of raisins, quite yummy and only 3 points! but I will have to remember to have a mid morning snack...

there are people all around.......

Wasn't I surprised to come back to my little blog and find a handful of people 'found' me! I am so excited! Even more excited to have some blogs to read again! I will do my best to 'add' everyone as links or friends or what ever it is everyone else is doing....I was *just* starting to get the hang of the weight*watchen's blog...so kinda have to re-train myself again here...

So the day has been good, probably because it's been raining CATS & DOGS here allllllllll daaaaaay long. and because I have like no groceries....sooooo not much snacking going on....except for the 3 fudgsicle I've had today ;) and, I can not lie -I will probably have more by the nights end. BUT before I get chastised...I still have 4 regular points and haven't even dived in to FP yet....and I'm PMSing...

For diner we had Subway Subs' boy did I miss them, YUMMY!! I have a 6" turkey bacon w/ cheese on brown and just mustard for sauce + veggies = 8 points... pretty yummy. You could back off of the bacon (1pt) and cheese (2pt) and it would be a 5 pt meal!! But for me, with 30 points to eat, I do the cheese and bacon.

Down down down, I am down

So today was WI and I am down 5lbs from last week, though I was UP 2.4 lbs that week, I think a water issue. Anways todate, after 3weeks on WW I am down 7.4lbs offically. Also today dropped me in to the next lower BMI #'s (35.9) and ALSO I am down a whole BMI point from when I started. It shows me that even losing a few pounds make a difference on your health! Like really I *only* lost 7.4 lbs but to lose a whole BMI point is really great I think....

So today I am in full glum, rainy depressed mode...I know quite a turn from the paragraph above, but it's been raining so much lately, and the house is a mess as with my disc issues it hurts to clean, and really I HATE cleaning soooo that all together makes for a messy house...

I am going to visit my home town on Wed. and I am quite excited about that, so I have to get all packed up (just me and the toddler) which will be a big effort. But looking forward to staying w/ my Mom and having her help!!! Gotta love Grandparents!!!
