Another small victory for my body

I have SO much stuff going on this weekend (I keep living in the land of denial) that I needed to get in to weigh in before time got away from me. I chose to go in this am and wasn't sure what the result would be. There are times when I think I have lost, and I haven't. But today was a loss of....


4 pounds!!!

I was VERY pleasantly surprised, considering it was about 3 hours later in the morning than when I normally weigh in, and it was only 5 days after my weigh in last weekend.

But hey.. I will take it. That makes a total of 9.2 pounds down. I can handle that. I have six more pounds to go to hit my first goal of 5 percent. Weight Watchers sets it up to lose the first five percent and then 10 percent and then we can set our own goals after that. I have decided to keep up with this same goal setting pattern: 5 and 10 and then re-set when I hit those goals.

I also calculated the points of a Ben and Jerry's pint of ice cream, which is something I would have consumed, or close to have consumed, before WW. It is terrible. Let's just say it was over my daily Points allotment by 3 points.

Now I have gone down in my Points allotment by one, so I have one less point a day to play with.

Last night I was left with 7.5 points for the rest of the day. I had a whole wheat tortilla with reduced fat cheese and some salsa for a quesidilla. I ate half of it, and gave the other two quarters to my girls. It was all I needed.

I am loving the 100 Calorie packs of Fudge Stripes. LOVING them.

I picked up a box of WW mint cookie bars at the center today and ate one on the way to Wendy's. YUMMY and CHOCOLATEY! They were good.

All right, I have three kids breathing down my back to go to the pool.
