I had WI this morning and the scale read 161.6- not too bad considering that the day I got home from Maui it said 170.2!!!! I am going to set a goal to be back in the 150’s my WI next week. I am going to work really hard at trying to have a loss every week. I have been hanging around 160 for WAY too long! I think that we are beginning to hate each other! LOL! 
I want a Bento too!!!! After reading my blog buddy’s post about a bento, http://blogs.weightwatchen.com/laceyq/2007/09/25/i-wanna-bento-too/, I can’t wait to find me one too!!! How fun! There are some really cute ones out there… oh the decision! I found a way cute one that is black with japanese flowers on it that looks adorable but I want to make sure that it is the one for sure before I invest in it! Thanks Lacey for opening my eyes to such a fun thing!
As far as the week goes… I am still doing pretty good… yesterday I cheated a little but was still only over by 5 points… not too bad. My boys are out of town with my dad so the DH and I went and got a snack at 11:30 last night… and not a healthy one! But it was way fun! So far so good today.. I am still going to be up a few at WI tomorrow but that’s ok… it will come off! I will reach my goal!
and so are the pounds!!! I am happy to report that the scale was WAY down today!!! I only have a few more “Maui Pounds” to get off!!! This is after only one day of being OP! Yipee!!! It felt great to have such a good OP day and be back in control- I have to admit though that I only had 14 points yesterday… bad bad I know… but considering that my body should have a few extra in reserve from last week I am not going to be too hard on myself!!! I have found that it is a lot easier to stay OP if I plan out my food for the day before the day starts… that way I don’t get hungry and just grab whatever I can find… the menu today is a banana and Fiberful cereal for breakfast; a chicken breast, maui pineapple, and a green salad for lunch; and some soup for dinner tonight. This should be a pretty good OP day and hopefully those pounds will keep falling off!!! Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!
I forgot to mention that I was finally able to shop at a TJ’s!!! We do not have a TJ’s close to where I live so while we were in California with the kids we made a quick stop and I stocked up on some of the suggested items from Roni’s list! I LOVE the Fiberful bars and the fact that they are ZERO points makes me a happy girl!!! I also grabbed some bean dip, cereal, and pretzel slims!
Hello All! I am back from beloved Maui… with an extra 7 pounds packed on! That’s right… that whole “watch what I eat” thing went right out the window!!! I have no regrets though!!! I had a great time and ate some delightful food! The DH and I went to buy groceries and soon realized that it would be just as cheap to eat out and not nearly as much work… we were on vacation for heaven’s sake! I am not too upset by the gain… I know that one week OP and I will be down quite a bit and right back on schedule. I am determined to get to goal by my one year anniversary in Feb 08. I miss Maui allready… real life bites!
I am soooo excited!!! The much awaited trip is here!!! We leave tomorrow for a little “pre-vacation” with the kids and then the DH and I are off to Maui on Sunday!!!! I can’t wait!!! I love that I am 45 pounds lighter then our last trip in December… there will be no size 16’s for me this time…. My bags are packed with 10’s and 8’s!!! Oh ya… and 2 BIKINIS!!! I still don’t look as good as I would like to in them but I earned this body and I am going to wear them proudly!!! I am not going to worry about food while I am on vacation… however, I am still going to watch what I am eating and not go overboard. The DH and I are planning on eating a lot of the local fruit and trying to be good so that we don’t gain. Can’t wait to get away!!!
Hi all! I am very excited about today!!! I am going to a concert tonight with my sisters who I LOVE!!! I am so excited for this little getaway and to spend some time with them! Then tomorrow…. it’s VACATION TIME!!! The scale is holding pretty steady which I am happy about! it read 160.4 this morning! I am going to work hard today so that it is in the 150’s before I leave tomorrow! Hope everyone is doing well!
The scale read 159.6 at WI this week… UP 1.6!!! I am not going to complain though… I thought it would be worse… It would have been worse if I turned to food like I used to when stress hit! The scale did continue to go up over the weekend until I finally did something about it yesterday and got it back down. I am leaving for vacation on Wednesday and I think my brain is already on it! I have been trying to not go out of control on my eating- I am determined to get back to 158 before I leave on Wednesday!
I have been under a ton of stress the last week or so… I have been doing pretty good at not turning to food, however, I have not been tracking AT ALL!!! I know that I haven’t stayed in my points, but I do not feel like I have been going crazy which I usually do when I am under stress so I think that is a good thing. I have been craving chocolate like crazy and I have resisted… until this morning!!! I just had a chocolate covered chocolate doughnut and it was GREAT!!!! I have no regrets!!! I needed it, I ate it, I counted it, I am moving on! It hit the spot and hopefully the craving will go away now! Tomorrow is WI. I am not real sure what to expect. I am hoping to maintain but if I am up I will deal with it. I finally made it to the gym last night… the first time since last monday!!! Shame on me!!! I have been missing it soooooo much!!! It felt GREAT to get on the treadmill!!! I really needed that escape! Hope everyone is doing well!!!
I had a HUGE NSV yesterday!!! I slid my butt into a size 8!!!! AND they not only buttoned up but actually fit really well!!! Not too tight at all! I can hardly believe it!!! I really don’t remember ever being an 8… maybe in high school!!! It felt GREAT!!! My DH and I went to Hawaii last December before I joined WWers and I was a whopping size 16… This year I will be half that on the beach in an awesome size 8!!! What an AWESOME feeling!!! I can’t wait to get there!!!
