Weigh In Day

Not too bad today. Went to meeting to weigh in but did not stay. I lost 2.6 pounds to bring me to 147! Okay I was here almost exactly one year ago but I'm not complaining. I'm back on track and well on my way.

I went out to dinner today and tried to estimate as well as possible. I tried to focus on enjoying the company more than the food, and I think I did pretty well. I need to work out tomorrow though!

Friday Wrap-up

Well, my weigh in is tomorrow and I'm actually looking forward to it. I did pretty well. If anything I ate too little! But that's usually what happens when I come back to Weight Watchers for real, I've found. When I start eating wholesome foods (fruits, veggies, whole grains) instead of processed carp, I feel fuller much quicker.

Below is today's menu. For dinner I made a pizza/flatbread out of a whole wheat pita. It was delicious! Since I like BULK, I separated the pita in half (to make two thin rounds) and toasted it on a pan until hard. Then put pizza sauce and the toppings which I had separately stirfried with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Yum!!!

Summary of the Week:
The good: I am back! I tracked every day! I have 28.5 weeklies remaining, and the 8 APs I earned. I got my 8 GHG everyday (exception: I usually just do 1 oil) and I made some very good choices.
The bad: Not too much, I didn't exercise a whole lot (1 day at the gym all week, doing 1 hr of spinning and 15-20 mins of weights) but I'm not going to beat myself up about it. It was a hard week and I can't expect myself to come back 100%. Baby steps!
The ugly: Nothing! My clothes feel looser already!

Whohooo! This was an easy week in some ways because I didn't go out too much/at all. Tomorrow will be a test: we're going out to dinner for the first time back. I've already selected my entree from the restaurant's website: grilled Tilapia with a mango, scallion, orange and lime sauce, served with mixed veggies and vegetable rice. Now I just have to be good about the appetizers/drinks!

Stuck to my plan on a tough day!

Yesterday was a tough day food-wise. But I stuck to my plan and avoided an assortment of chips and free beer (I don't like most American beers--Miller/Coors, yuck--but they're hard to pass up when they're free). I decided in the middle of the day to attend a school play at my old law school. It was fantastic except that I knew I wouldn't have time for dinner. I stopped at CVS and got a South Beach high protein bar (at 3 points, it's a bit much as a 'snack', but it was satisfying). I ate that and chugged my water that I had with me. Later I knew I had the points so after the second party I had some yummy prosecco. All in all, a pretty good day!
