Hooray! I was finally able to get my old posts from Blogspot imported. Many of the posts are from my original blog at Weight Watchen. Thanks to Roni and whoever else fixed the kinks.

I think I am coming down with something. I’ve had a sore throat and headache most of today. I stayed within points, but didn’t make much attempt at getting in fruits and veggies and it was much easier to eat last night’s Italian leftovers than fix something nutritious for lunch. I did get in a light workout, plus some yard work and a few rounds of Dance Dance Revolution, though. I also tried a recipe a friend sent me for blueberry biscuits. They were 3 points and tasty, but I am thinking of how to tweak the recipe to make them 2pts instead.

Most of my day has been spent sitting here at the computer working on a project for my Masters program. I received good news yesterday. I have 2 classes and an internship left and then I will graduate Spring 2008 with my M.Ed! I was lucky that classes I took in 2002 were barely within the window of my 6 year limit, and I have one extra credit that my advisor said she will WAIVE - so I saved myself 6 credits.

I know school isn’t really related to the topic of this blog, but having been a student and working for the majority of my weight gain, it is significant to me that I am learning how to manage my weight while still being crazy busy all the time. I think I got into bad habits when I was running from work to class and now I am realizing that it is possible to have a million things on your *figurative* plate without having an equal number of calories on your real plate. Heck, I am actually stopping to use a plate! Before it was bag to mouth or drive-up window to mouth. It feels good to be in control. I’ve realized that it just takes a little planning and when I make it a habit, it’s actually easy. (Did I just say easy!?) LOL

Here’s today’s consumption. I’m having problems with the table, so I’ll have to work on that.. later.
