Thursday Food Log

Well, I weighed in at meeting last night, and it was another 2 pound lose, so I am feeling a little better, but talking with a friend yesterday made me face the fact that if i don't change that morning McDonald's habit, i am never going to get anywhere.
Then last night at meeting, one of the things they gave us was some cupons for Weight Watchers foods....so I stopped by the Super Wal-Mart (since it is the only place I have found that carries the weight watchers foods) and picked up a few things.
Another thing I am going to go ahead and do is list my point totals here too. I am currently allowed 30 points a day, so I figured if I listthe point values here that it will help keep me honest on my eating.

Breakfast:
6oz WW Amaretto Cheesecake yogurt (1 point)
2 tsp Flax seed (mixed in yogurt) (.5 point)
12oz can of Diet Coke (gotta have my morning caffeine) (0 points)
**point total 1.5**

Morning Snack:
WW Lemon Snack cake (1 point)
16.9 oz bottle of water (0 points)

Lunch:
Subway Turkey & Ham, 6 inch on honey oat, with tomato, pickle and cucumber (5 points)
Baked lays sour cream and onion chips (2 points)
Peanut Butter Cookies -2 (10.5 points)
16 oz Diet Coke (0 points)
**point total for lunch 17.5**

Current Point total for today....20 points. That leave 10 points for dinner tonight! Yeah! Not bad even if I did "cheat" and have those peanut butter cookies.

Wednesday Food Log

Food Log for Monday the 14th

**Just a note that you probably will not see updates over the weekend on here. Just because it is so hard to get on the computer with the kids home over the weekends. I did stick to my WeightWatchers Points plan over the weekend, and even worked out a shopping list with Brad's help, so thing went well. I will be weighing in and changing the ticker on Wednesday mornings, since I have meeting on Wednesday nights, so that way I will keep both my home weigh-in (which runs my ticker) and my WW weigh-in on the same day.***

I only skipped about 6 points for the day, so I still came close to what I was suppose to eat.

New Year, New Resolve

It's a New Year, and only five months before I turn 40.
I am not happy where I am right now, and the idea of 40 looming ahead of me is not promising, so I have a new reslove to make a change!
It starts now, and it will include various means, including my faith and daily devotionals, which I will continue to share, as well as Weight Watchers and whatever else I find I need to continue.

I haven't joined Weight Watchers yet, but will be doing that today, but that doesn't mean I can't start.
UPDATE: I joined Weight Watchers at lunch, while I was eating my lasanga. There is a local meeting at 6:30pm on Wednesday, which I think I can work into my schedule to make every week. So this coming Wednesday will be my first meeting and "official" start date, but I am working on setting up all my information online and it gives me a target point goal as 30. Now I just have to figure out those points!

I am also taking JuicePlus capsules, which a couple of good friends have recommended, not for weight loss, but for general health.
www.juiceplus.com/+eb34103 is the website and I really like it. I am just hoping with it that I can improve my general feeling, I am so tired all the time, and I know that I don't get the fruits and veggies that I really need.

Another thing, over the years I have bought and started taking all these different diet supplements, and I am sick of them all over the place, so I decided to just take them and get rid of them. If they help me to jump start the weight loss, great. So, you might notice a number of different caspules being listed, but the only ones that will continue on are the JuicePlus, the rest are just me finishing off whatever bottles I have around the house and office.
