Day 186

Apparently the lack of sugar and processed food is getting to me
I keep saying I need to get back to my 20 and it should be get back to my 40!
Hello, that is a big damn difference!

1 more freakin pound!
I have lost 7 since Wednesday! That rocks!

Notice on my food journal I used a little more flex points
My head has been hurting so bad from the lack of sugar, I decided to give myself a little extra
Food Journal:
Breakfast: juice (FP-1), breakfast sandwich (FP-1), coke (FP-2)
Mid morning: Sonic lrg. coke (FP-5)
Lunch: Last of the taco soup with sour cream (FP-1)
Snacks: oranges
Dinner: Left over chicken Parmesan with whole grain pasta
Night snack: popcorn (FP-1)
So I used a total of 11 of my flex points today
I will just need to watch it the rest of the week with only 17 left

Day 185

Holy Moly!
I went back through my food journal to find how much I gained
Are you ready...after losing 42, I went back up 8.2!
But I'm still losing and I only have 1.8 to go to get back to that

Food journal
Breakfast: breakfast sandwich that I had yesterday, coke and banana
(flex points used 3)
Lunch: taco soup from yesterday (damn it is so good), sour cream
(flex points used 2)
Snacks: banana and apple
Dinner: chicken Parmesan with no breading (baked chicken with spaghetti sauce topped with mozzarella) and whole wheat noodles
My husband got me a huge block of fancy chocolate for Christmas (WTF?)
I finally tried it last night
One serving was 5 points so I had half for 2
It was pretty good
Then hot chocolate before bed

Looking at my weight and weight loss, my plan is to do core until I get below 200 pounds then go back to regular WW
Which is only 20 pounds away
Which would be 60 pounds total!
So maybe a month maybe a month in a half

Day 184

5 pounds gone!
Love it!
Hopefully tomorrow when I weigh I will be back at my 20

I have been having headaches and migraines
I think it is sugar shock
My body is going crazy with no sugar...ok very little

Food journal:
Breakfast: breakfast sandwich (egg, Canadian bacon, FF cheese on a Thomas brand Light Wholegrain English muffin) 1 flex point for muffin only
*I loved this!! I plan to make it every day and even prep some for when school starts. So I can heat it and go
banana
Coke (1 flex point used)
Lunch: made kick ass taco soup and added FF sour cream...so 1 flex point for
sour cream
Snack: 32 oz. coke and around 3 cups of movie popcorn (6 flex points used)
Dinner: I wasn't going to even eat because I really wasn't hungry but I didn't want to make a bad choice if I did get hungry later in the night
So I fixed a quesadilla with FF beans, FF cheese on low point tortillas with FF sour cream (2 flex points used)
11 flex points used today
This is the last day of using this weeks flex points
I did divide it because I started mid week and still didn't even use all of them

Day 183

4 pounds gone!
2 more to get back to my original 20

I'm really diggin not having to record every little thing I put in my mouth
But then again from my experiences, those are the times that diets fail with me is when I'm not keeping a food journal

I took the kids to McD's and didn't have a coke!
I knew I couldn't have just one so I just had water

Breakfast: carnation instant breakfast with FF milk (wasn't very good), coke and a banana
Lunch: grilled chicken at McD's (plan to use my flex points for the bun)
Snacks: grapes, 2 oranges and 1 apple
Dinner: salmon and brown rice
Hot chocolate with FF milk

Not really starving today so that's good

Day 182

I made it!
I have had some requests of a food journal so you can know exactly what I am eaten
So here goes:
breakfast: rolled oats cooked in the microwave with water....sucked the big one! So I added some sugar free applesauce, fat free butter spray and 1 t. of brown sugar...still sucked but ate it anyway
1 coke
snacks through out the day: 2 bananas, 2 clemetine oranges (they rocked), 1 apple, lots of grapes
lunch: Progresso light soup and added some turkey...mostly ate the broth because there was a lot of veggies in it
dinner: whole wheat spaghetti, hamburger meat and Ragu light spaghetti sauce with no sugar
After kids were in bed: FF milk with diet hot chocolate...very happy to find out that I can have this because it is one of my favorite treats after the kids are in bed

After freaking out yesterday over what to eat, I have set my mind at ease planning my meals for tomorrow

Day 181

It took some counting but I figured out what number this is
I really needed seeing what number I was on in my journey
Staying on WW today was no problem because I kept thinking about starting the Core program and how much worse it could be

I went grocery shopping
Damn! My cart looked so much different than it has in the past!
No convenience foods

Still thinking about breakfast for me
I usually eat in the car...coke, fiber granola bar, another 2 point package snack and cranberry juice
All of that is out
So I'm doing some planning
I do plan to have 1 Coke a day and take it out of my flex points which would equal out to 14 a week
Still have 21 left

Also going to need to be cooking a lot more
I'm glad I will be off the next week to get this all started

Who Know's What # This Is!

Yes, I haven't been keeping track
But, I have a plan
Tomorrow (26th) back on the WW train!
Toot toot!
In fact, I'm going to try the Core WW plan
Kathy gave me the info and I have been looking through it
It will be rough...but I'm giving it a try
Are you sitting down for this?
It is all whole foods!
You know I'm the processed food queen so this will be a challenge for me
I want to at least do it for 10 pounds...20 would be even better
I need to get back on track with my time line
My mother and I are going to race to see who can loose the most by the first of Feb. (she has a trip to go on and she would like to loose 20 before then)
I have to do regular WW tomorrow because I don't have all the food but Thursday will be the first day of the Core
Start reading me again and give me major shit when I don't blog daily!

Day 172 & 173

I'm sorry, I can't lie...
I haven't been good
I know...one day at a time

What I keep thinking is a week from today is Christmas
Maybe get back in control the day after
It is only a week away
That is not really that long

Day 171

I thought I was a couple over on my points last night...
But I wasn't! I was dead on! That really made my day!

I did really good today
After dinner I had 4 points left
So I just had a Guiltless Gourmet
This one was better than the first one
It was the chocolate cake with carmel on top

Yum!

Day 170

Sorry, went to bed early last night
Still fighting those damn migraines!

I was only over by a couple of points
Damn, I'm good!

Next week will be a little harder...
But I am just going to take it one day at a time

Day 169

What do you think of the new look
Got a little bored last night...

I rocked today!
I didn't go over in my points
Ending the day at 29!
Good feeling!

Day 168

I have had a migraine since yesterday!
So needless to say, today was hard!
But I pulled through
I am over in my points by 10 or so
But that is ok considering I have wanted to blow my head off all day
I plan to get on the scales tomorrow and hopefully I will have lost that 3 pounds that I gained back

Day 167

I gave myself a little pep talk and did it
Stayed within my points
Well kind of...I am off by 2
But hell that is much better than what I had been doing
Tomorrow is another day and I will do the same!

Day 165 & 166

I fuckin' hate this!
I thrive on a schedule and I haven't been doing well this week with no school
I have gained 3 pounds and can't stop eating
Well now my stomach is upset so maybe that will help me get back on track
I am going to try again today to make some better choices
I may also call a fellow WW friend for help

Day 163 & 164

Not good these past 2 days
Yesterday, I ate like a hog...everything in sight
Today, my mother made a pull apart for breakfast
I have eaten on it all day plus 3 cokes
Finally for dinner I ate some normal food
Back on track tomorrow
I have 10 pounds to get rid of before the 31st

Day 160, 161 & 162

I'm sorry, I know that it has been a few days
In a way I have been avoiding you...
So here goes...

I have been sick and this has been a hell of a week at work
I know that is no excuse
Overall, I have been watching my points but I have been eating more
Sometimes there has been some bad choices
And other times there has been some really good ones

For instance, I had a big coke, 2 pieces of pizza and 2 cookies
But then for dinner we went to LJS and I had baked salmon with rice and just a few nibbles of the kids food

This week it has been survival
The good thing is...I have maintained

Day 159

I have felt like shit all day!
I stayed on track until dinner then we went to Mazzios buffet
But you know what? I feel bettter!
My plan is to not go over my points the rest of the week and not use anymore flex points

Day 158

I have figured out why I drank so much water this weekend
I'm getting sick again
My throat is killing me!

Over by only a couple of points so they will go out of my 35 flex points
Off to bed
Maybe it will magically disappear in the morning!

Day 157

More great choices!

We needed dinner but no groceries and a ton of things left to do today
So I ordered pizza
But I did something I have never done before...
Order a medium cheese pizza and no extras!
I always get at least 1 large then bread sticks and dessert too
But not tonight
So I ended up with 2 pieces!
It is good not to have extra laying around!

Also wanted to mention that I finally got around to getting me some skim milk to put in my hot chocolate and oatmeal (Weight Control by Quaker has lots of fiber)
They both taste so much better with milk than just plain old water
Yes, it does add 2 more points but I remind myself that I am getting a serving of dairy that I wouldn't usually get

Day 156

I did great today!
Took Chloe to a birthday party and said no to pizza, coke and freakin' ice cream cake!
Also came home tonight and fixed dinner
I really wanted to go out to dinner but knew I needed to say no

I have seen Guiltless Gourmet Dessert Bowls advertised in several WW magazines and have always tried to find them at Walmart
I found them at Target! When I saw them it was like I heard harps playing and a spot light was shining down on them
I was hoping they were 2 points but the one I had tonight was 4
The Chocolate Brownie with fudge sauce
It was very chocolaty but good
But my taste buds aren't too particular lately
So I am over on my points by 1 today
But it was worth it and I so deserve it after saying no to all that damn food today!

Day 155

I did it!
40.6!
A little extra too!

Celebrated with Chinese for lunch and Ted's for dinner
But I can say, that I only ordered off the lunch menu and still ordered a light portion
But I did have lots of chips, queso and tortillas

Back on track tomorrow
10 more need to be gone by the end of December to make a nice 50

Day 154

I have had so many comments the past 2 days...I love it!
I'm sure I have lost that other .2
I had a very stressful day but stayed on track
Don't get me wrong, I wanted to go eat so damn bad tonight
I wore pants today that I haven't wore in years...maybe 4-6 years!
They were out of style but who the fuck cares!

Day 153

Ditto for Wednesday
Once my ass gets into bed it can't get out!

But I did weigh this morning.....
39.8 gone
Can I do .2 by tomorrow morning?
I sure in the hell can!

Day 152

Sorry, couldn't bring myself to get out of bed to blog last night
I really want to hit that 40 by Friday so really watching what I eat
Stopped by McD's for dinner
But just got me a grilled chicken plain and shared a small fries with Noah

Got up this morning to 38.6!
So 1.4 to get rid of before Saturday

I can do it!

Day 151

Stayed within my point range
In fact, I have 2 more left that I plan to use after the kids are all asleep

I'm looking forward to getting on the scale tomorrow
WARNING TMI ALERT!
It occurred to me today that it has been a couple of days since I pooped
But got that taken care of so let's get on the scale now!

Day 150

I got over my so called plateau...
Then went to Super Salad for dinner
Damn it was good too

If I can stay on track this week, I think I can loose the other 2 pounds I need to loose this month to make it an even 40

Day 149

Stayed on track today
I was one point over
It is going to take some work to cut my points down this time
But I still have my flex points that I can use weekly so maybe it won't be so bad after all

Stayed home today and cleaned and started laundry
Haven't felt too good either

I think I will get on the scale tomorrow

Day 148

I had a wonderful day in the food world!
I made 2 WW recipes

For lunch I made Taco Soup
It was so good!
And it really hit the spot on this cold day
It should be around 2 points
I added a spoonful of low fat sour cream to my bowl and oh my! It rocked! Just an extra little kick!
I had that for lunch and dinner

This afternoon I made Pumpkin Muffins
2 points each
All you use is can pumpkin, water and a spice cake mix
Wow they were good too!

Something I did discover...
I should have gone down on my points a week or so ago..
I should be in the 27-29 range now
So I am at 30...only one over

But thank goodness that was after I counted the frozen yogurt from Braum's

I told you I had a good food day

If you would like any of the recipes from today's blog let me know!

I plan to look for some more WW soup recipes this weekend
I will let you know what I find

Day 147

I didn't hold back for Thanksgiving
But tomorrow (Friday) back on board

Thanks for your inspirations Jennifer!

Day 146

I wasn't going to even add up my points today but I reminded myself that I need to do it anyway
But I really was ok
I was only over by 4
But then after dinner and adding up points, I made a dessert to take tomorrow and dibbled on that while I was making it
Then have had 5 pieces of Halloween candy
So I would have had a good day if it wasn't for the munchies tonight

Day 145

Ok, really feeling like a big fat cow!
I must be PMSing!
Donuts and a coke for breakfast
Chinese food, cookie and a big coke for lunch
Mazzio's buffet for dinner
Damn!
I'm beginning to see that I need to do this once a month to stay on track

Got up in the middle of the night and had trouble getting back to sleep
So I was up on the computer looking at plastic surgeons then before and after pics
I have also been DVRing this season of Nip and Tuck
I finally watched 2 episodes tonight
I love it!

Day 144

I'm feeling like a big fat cow!
I had planned to eat Thanksgiving with Chloe in the cafeteria
Then have a sensible dinner :)

But hell no!
I needed real food for dinner
So we went to Moe's
Yummy chips and queso, cheicken quesadilla

Now I feel like shit!

Day143

Today was better...no puking
But a shit load of laundry today

I am actually under on my points today
I still have 2 more! That's a first. I will have a little snack after all the little ones are asleep
Got on the scales this morning and I am only down .6
I will get on them again tomorrow and I feel it will be a little more

Can you believe that 1 EL Fudge cookie is 2 points
They have been in my house for 24 hours now and I have wanted one so freakin bad
Decided it was worth 2 points

I'm not going to over in my points this week so I will be ok Thursday

Day 142

Today was so fun (eyes rolling)
Started the day with Drayton puking in our bedroom floor around 4am
Then he puked or pooped all day
And Noah is extremely cranky since he has been on the "roids"
Noah takes his last dose in the AM and Drayton was all better by 6
But Murphy's Law is that at least 1 or 2 more of the Brown family will get this virus too

I had the nachos again tonight but added the sour cream
They were yummy and easy...both were needed around the total craziness that is my house

Day 141

I am over by a whopping 10 points today but fighting another damn cold and I know that my body needs a little more when I am sick
I got on the scales this morning...37.2 total!
2.8 to loose in 2 weeks
I can do that
Hell I did that in one week last week

I really wanted to splurge again tonight but ended up making a different version
I made nachos
Counted out my 9 regular tortilla chips
1/3 cup of cheese
4 oz of 90/10 hamburger meat
For a total of 11 points
It was good too
Next time I will remember to add some sour cream

Day 140

I went over by a couple of points
Found myself getting upset then realized that maybe I didn't do so bad after all
I should have counted my points yesterday even though I went a little crazy
Because last time I ended up being pleasantly surprised it actually wasn't that much
So lesson learned
Even when I think I have eaten too much...sit down and write it out and figure points

Day 139

Yes, I'm playing catch up!
Luncheon at work
I made some good choices...didn't go crazy with one of my favorite foods...BBQ
But after a crazy afternoon so I caved in and ate some cookies, pumpkin rolls and muffins
Try again tomorrow

Day 138

So far .6 for the week
My kids are still sick and I am going crazy
So the story continues....

Day 137

I wore a pair of pants today that I haven't been able to wear in a couple of years
They were a little snug but I could zip them!

I'm going to get on the scales tomorrow morning
No big expectations but need to check in

Day 136

Another pound
36.6 pounds gone!

Gave in and went to Ci-Ci's for dinner

4 more pounds to go before the end of the month
I can do that!

I have been trying on some pants tonight
Found some that I couldn't wear before
It's very motivating!

Day 135

Kids are sick
I'm in a funk
Looking forward to getting out of the house tomorrow
Also think I will get on the scales again
It seems like losing weight is the only thing that keeps me going lately

Day 134

I can't freakin beleive it!
35.8 pounds gone!
3 pounds just since Monday!

Kids are sick
More tomorrow

Day 133

A long day!
Worked until after 8:00
I was a little afraid to figure my points because I know I went over some because PTA served dinner
But I was only over by 14 which totals 28 for the week
Then I still have 7 points to use over the next 2 days
So what did I learn from this?
When I think I have blown it...write it all down and count the points
You could be surprised

Day 132

Sorry, went to bed with a migraine and forgot to tell you the good news
33.6 gone!
Less than 7 pounds to get rid of before the end of the month!

Day 131

I have been in such a funk today
I don't fell good and I'm pissy
But, I stayed on track!

I only went over by 4 points!
I wanted to cave in so badly for dinner!
But I drove around and made a plan for myself
I got a big coke before dinner (that helped tremendously!!! Isn't it amazing how a coke can change your whole day?)
Then we went to Sonic and I just had a grilled cheese and a couple tator tots
That did the trick

Off to bed to sleep off this funk!

Day 130

The only thing that is kept me going today is 32.2 pounds gone!
So very happy that I am back to my original weight before my 2 weeks of hell
Slightly less than 8 pounds to get rid of before the end of the month

I don't know how the hell I have kept my composure all evening
It seemed to hit the fan as soon as I walked out of the door at school
And it ended with me stepping in dog shit with bare feet
It can only get better from here!

I some how cooked dinner through all of the chaos around me tonight
Scrambled eggs, bacon and hash browns
eggs-5 points bacon (2)-4 points hash browns-1 point
Great dinner for a cold night
I have to say that I did miss the cheddar cheese that I use to mix in the eggs :(

I tried the carmel sundae jello pudding that is 1 point and it rocks!
I think it was better that the chocolate banana

Day 129

OK, this better take this time
I tried to post this morning and it told me to try again later

So here goes...
Another party and no cake
Yea for me...it was hard but I declined

Stopped and got personal pans from Pizza Hut for us for dinner
Can you believe those little fuckers are 14 points!
Damn that's a lot

Went over in my points just a bit but I did walk all over Little River Zoo
So that has to count for something!

Day 128

Another day with my ass back in WW mode
I went over on my points a bit but I need to be looking at baby steps right now
Another day I didn't go ape shit crazy

I did feed my children birthday cake at a party and didn't have any myself
That's good
Thought about getting a small pizza for the boys and I to share
Decided to get them kids meals because I wouldn't eat it
That's good
Cooked dinner tonight
That is a fuckin miracle!

Good day!

Day 125-127

Wednesday-went out with Herb to RiverWind and didn't get home until 1am!

Thursday spent 1.5 hours in the dentist chair and was so damn sore I went to bed at 8:30

Friday- I am officially back on track! I think I did go over a little on my points today but I didn't go ape shit like I have been...so that's ok!
Took the kids to see the Bee Movie tonight
Not for sure how much popcorn I ate so it was hard to add up

I have to get my ass back on track
I need to loose 20 pounds before the end of the year

Day 124

Yes, I'm eating horribly but I'm trying not to stress over it
I have so many things going on right now
I have other things that need stressing over
It sure doesn't help that I have 1000 pieces of candy laying around

Day 123

Ok, so I still have no control
I have tried today but can't seem to get enough food
I'm also getting a cold and when I'm sick I can't stand to be hungry when the rest of my body feels like shit at least my belly feels good
So I just trying not to beat myself up

Day 122

Damn.....
I held it together really well today until it came to dinner
Furr's...
Now I feel like shit emotionally and physically
Tomorrow is another day

Day 121

Yes, I'm a little late
I was up late doing school work
Crawled into bed about 11:30 and thought I forgot to blob
But didn't want to get back out of bed again

Good news/Bad news

Good-I lost the weight I had gained over my rough week and a little more
So loss 1.2 ish

Bad-I went to eat fuckin Chinese food yesterday!
Why the hell do I do that?
We use to eat Chinese a lot but I haven't had it in at least 6 months

Day 120

I made it through the day by only using 2 of my flex points
And it is a freakin miracle!
I had a meeting with snacks all over the table and trick-or-treating at Sprint
As for the meeting, I choose to just get 2 candy corn pumpkins
At Sprint, I just ate 2 skinny small tootsie rolls and 1 jaw breaker
I'm trying man!

I did get on the scale this morning and I am almost back to what I weighed before my week from hell

I have been keeping track very closely of my flex points
I am at 22/35
And 13 more for tomorrow

Day 119

Thanks for all of your concerns...I pooped twice today!
Can't wait to get on the scale in the am
But I'm not expecting a miracle

Very proud of myself
I turned down treats in the office and dinner with a friend
Dawnpower baby!

Had the usual Thursday night pizza
3 slices of cheese pizza
Yes, I did go over a little in my points but using my flex points

Not looking forward to the temptation of all the candy over the next week
It starts tomorrow night...

Day 118

The chili was so good!
I am having a hell of a time figuring points
I thought I would knock the points down to 8
But after looking through the WW point book
Most of the chili's were around 5 points
So I don't know how to count it

The faculty meeting today had lots of candy and food
I only ate a mini granola bar and half a serving of pretzels

Would love to weigh
But still haven't pooped since Sunday
So I am not going to even attempt getting on a scale

Day 117

Well I am up a little
I am now 29.2
But considering all that I have eaten in the past week...that's ok
And, TMI WARNING, I haven't pooped since Sunday so I'm sure I will loose a little when that happens...

I had soup and a grilled cheese for dinner
Did you know that the American cheese by Borden is only 2 points?
So with my 2 point bread, I had a 4 point grill cheese
Not bad!
I also found some light Cambell's Wedding Soup-3 points for 1/2 a can

I made chili tonight to cook tomorrow in the crockpot
3 kinds a beans and hamburger meat
I figured it out to be 12 points per serving
That is damn high!
But I got to looking and a can of means is 3.5 servings and the crockpot is full of chili
So I think it should be closer to about 9 points
Looking forward to dinner tomorrow!

Day 116

Hello blog buddies
I'm better today
What a difference a day and meds make!

I body feels much better today now that I am putting healthy food in it

I keep forgetting to tell you that I found another yummy snack
Kashi chewy granola bars
I have tried the trail mix and the honey almond...they are both really good
But the trail mix is the best-it has dried cranberries and whole almonds
The trail mix is 2 points while the honey almond is 3
Both have 4g of fiber

Going to suck it up and get on the scales tomorrow morning

My goal is to get rid of 20 more by Dec. 31st
That would be awesome if I could 50 gone!

Day 112-115

I think my body needs to come with a warning today
Proceed with caution or I will BIGHT YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF!
I went camping without my meds!
I left my freakin make-up bag here that had all that kind of shit in it
The first days were ok but today was horrible!
I have been dizzy on and off and we aren't even going to mention the irritability...
As soon as I got home today I took my pill
So, if I ever wonder if my antidepressant really works...it sure in the hell does!

On top of all that mess, my body has been rebelling today on all the shit that was put into my body
I have had an upset stomach today
I have never been so ready to get back on the boat before

Ok, let's end this party on a happy note
I did have so much more energy than in years past
I did a lot of walking and hiking
And even enjoyed it!

Day 111

I am not very inspiring tonight, sorry

A donut and a big gulp for breakfast
Lunch-pizza, coke and 2 cookies
Dinner-pizza and coke

Hope I don't see pizza anytime soon
I have had my fill of it!

I am really on my cycle!
I spotted some yesterday
I have only done that once before since my surgery a year ago this week
So, I really do have something to blame my craziness on

I am actually looking forward to coming back from camping and getting back to the swing of things on Monday!

No blog until Sunday or Monday

Day 110

With it being day 110, I wish I had something wonderful to tell you
I gave into temptation tonight and went to Mazzio's buffet for dinner
I feel like I am PMSing...it seems like the women around me at work are too
So I'm sure I am on the same schedule as them

The clues this week were the headaches for 2 days straight and today I couldn't get enough calories in me
I was starving all day

So let's just blame it on my cycle!

Day 109

How stupid can you be?
I am laying in the bath tub with the jets going and the door closed
Herb comes in to give me the phone because somebody from school is on the phone
What the fuck?
I didn't say a word just gave him the WTF look...

Ate good today
Fighting a headache all day
Hopefully lose a little when I get on the scales tomorrow
We leave for camping with all the family on Thursday and you know how much control I have around them...

Day 108

1.4 gone!
So a total of 31.4 all together
I am very happy with that considering my stress-o-meter was through the roof this week

I did really good today but when it came to dinner a bunch of us ended up at Ci-Ci's after the big parade (ghetto pizza)
I ate the hell out of some pizza!
I was starvin'

I have really started thinking about surgery and beginning to look into it
Looked up the local doctors and looked at before and after pics
I wonder if I could get insurance to pay for some then I could get my boobs done too
Who knows!

Day 107

I woke up this morning with a cold
Yuck!

I have stayed within my point range today
That's a good thing

A lot of times when I am sick I want to eat whatever I want
If my body feels bad at least my belly will be full attitude

But not this time!

Day 105 & 106

Thursday-
I very stressful day
I hung in there through the day but when it came to dinner...
We went to Earl's Rib Palace (not impressed)

Friday-
Another crazy day
Donuts and a big gulp for breakfast
Bueno for lunch
Hot dog and cookies for dinner

Need to get back on track

Day 104

I can't wait to weigh tomorrow morning
My jeans were falling off me today
Very tired
Worked late and came home to a messy house and crazy ass kids
Night to all

Day 103

Well, what do ya think of the new look?
I can't decide
I love pink but just can't get the dots pink
I will keep working on it

Tonight was rough with the kids
They were wacko
It didn't help that Chloe had tumbling at 4 and Drayton had karate at 6
I know it has only just begun
If I can just control my urges to eat crap I will do really good on these busy days because I don't stop

I wore my new jeans today and I thought I looked very fat
But I got so many compliments and questions about how much weight I had lost
Nice feeling

Day 102

My belly hurts!
We tried the new Furr's tonight
Not much different that GC but it is closer to my house
That's a bad thing!

I did find some jeans at Wally World
I was wearing a 24
These are a 20
So down 2 sizes...not bad

Day 101

I made beans and cornbread tonight for dinner
I looked up cornbread in the WW book and it was 2 points
I decided to figure it out myself because I was using egg beaters, skim milk and light butter (instead of oil)
1 point a slice..ha!
I had 3 pieces of cornbread and 1 1/2 cups of beans and it was only 5.5 points

I tried on jeans at Gordmans
God, I hate my tummy
Things would fit if it wasn't for that damn thing
I wish I could get it cut off now!

Day 100

Wow, 100 days
And 30.2 pounds!
I made it earlier than I thought!

Tonight was a good dinner
I had planned our usual pasta with white sauce and chicken cooked with olive oil and garlic
But I didn't have any white sauce
So, I baked chicken with a little olive oil, seasoning salt and celery salt
Also baked new potatoes with light butter, salt and Parmesan
It was really good!

I had planned to reflect a little in this blog but I'm not in the mood but here goes
What has change?
My body perception-I seem to be a little more proud of my body than I use to be
Even though I am not exercising I still have a lot more energy...I really noticed it when I went hiking last weekend
My bladder-for the last 2-3 years I have worn a pad not because I am bleeding but because I have no control of my bladder. I have talked to my Dr. about having it fixed but never gotten around to it. I have always chalked it up to having 3 babies. But I have stopped wearing pads as of a month ago. It is so wonderful to not have that bulky thing between my legs! Yes, I do have a little leaking when I first get out of bed and if I wait to long but nothing like it use to be...who knew?

30 pounds lighter and 100 days later

Day 99

Yes, it is a little late
I got into bed last night to put Noah to sleep and didn't get back out
So here goes...

I went to the store today and found a couple of things
I found Mrs. Baird's high fiber bread-2 points for 2 slices and 12g of fiber!
I had mentioned before that I am hooked on the Fiber One PB granola bars...they were out at Walmart so I found something new
100 calorie Oreo Granola bar and 2 points-they are a little small and pretty good
No Fiber 1 PB or anything but they are good

I am planning my 100th day post to be a reflection of how far I have come
PLUS A HUGE SURPRISE!!!!

Day 98

1.8
That was quick!
I can definitely hit 30 in 2 weeks
I would love to hit 30 on the 100th day
Wouldn't that be wonderful!

The kids and I stopped by City Bites (AKA Cookie Bites by Chloe)
I thought I would use some of my flex points and get a sugar cookie
I was thinking it would be in the 5-6 point range
10!
Dotti's web site doesn't have much City Bites info
But I went to City Bites website and they now have nutritional info so I was able to figure it out
That's ok though, I still have 12 more flex points to use over the next 2 days

I am glad to see their NI online
It will help me choose a little better next time

Day 97

Emotionally a lot better today
I don't want to kill him today but that could change at the drop of a hat

A funny...
This new medication I am on has given me gas
Yes, I toot a lot but now it is insane!
I walk around tooting 24 hours a day
So if you are standing beside me and you think "did she just fart"
Most likely yes
The good thing, they really don't stink
Thank goodness I work with k and they are loud so hopefully they won't notice

Came home to Little Cesaer's
I had 3 slices and still only went over by 4 points
Maybe it was the big gulp I had earlier

I swear that put crack in coke
If I had my choice of an extra snack, I would choose a coke
Well it would be a toss up between that and a donut

Day 96

Today was a hard day
My husband and I are at each other throats again and I wanted to turn to food so bad
But the good news is that I didn't
Isn't it funny how you want to turn back to your old crutch to make it all better

I plan to get on the scales tomorrow
I hope that I didn't gain any from my little back slide last week

Day 95

It feels so good to be eating healthy again

I took the kids to the mall after school and we ate at Chickfila
I only had a grilled chicken and 1/2 a small order of waffle fries
No coke! Can you freakin believe it?

I even got home tonight and added up my points and I was really low
I could have had the freakin coke
Bu that's ok, I had one tonight
:)

Day 92, 93 & 94

It has been an eating binge these past days

It started off Friday with 2 donuts and a big gulp and ended today with Ricky's Mexican food
The good news is that it is over

Looking at the calendar and making some goals that need to be met
I want to loose at least 3 more pounds by the 25th
That would only be a pound a week so I think it is doable

Day 91

I have been on a binge today
Ate yummy Mexican at school today
Actually, I didn't eat too terribly much there
1 enchilada
1 serving of meat nachos
1 serving of Mexican cheesecake
So I could have eaten a hell of alot more

Did go back later and get a cup of cilantro and lime chips
They rock by the way

Snacked for dinner
1 rice pudding
some mini corn dogs

Then went to Rusty's

Now I am really full!

On top of all that, I really want a donut for breakfast!

Off to my mother's tomorrow
Will most likely not blog until I get home Sunday

Hope I make some wise choices this weekend and not going totally balls to the wall

Day 90

Isn't this amazing
90 days

I did ok today
But I sure wanted to stray again
I could have really gone for some junk food
But I stayed on track

Had to go to the dr. after my meeting so I stopped by McD's for a grilled chicken
They gave me a fried chicken
I fuckin hate that
It was only a 3 point difference
But tonight I was over by 4 so that grilled chicken sure would have been better
Stupid people

Going to my mother's this weekend and we plan to go camping
I bought me several 100 calorie snacks to take to hopefully control my eating
I seem to do a lot of that when I am at her house...

Day 88

Today was a very hard day at work
The kids were ape shit crazy
That damn cold front and the full moon has thrown them into overdrive

I got out on my break and got a route 44 coke at Sonic

Then to Mazzios buffet for dinner

But you know what, I am not that concerned about it
If I can loose 2 pounds last week
No big deal this week

Day 87

I lost 2 more pounds
I honestly don't know how the hell it happened!
I was going to be happy to just maintain the 25
It is a freakin miracle
I really needed it this week...the last couple of days have been hard emotionally
It has been hard not to eat because I am depressed

I had 2 people confuse me with my boss this morning
That is freaky
It is also very cool considering she is tall and slender

27 pounds!

Day 86

Still in a hell of a mood

We had fish for dinner but I am sick of baking it
So I did a version of frying
I just used 2 T of oil with 3 pieces
Battered it with cornmeal and egg beaters
It was good
The pan could have used a little more oil but I didn't want to go crazy

Day 85

Today was a rough day
It is very hard to figure out when you are PMSing or when you are just bitchy when you don't have a period
I can't figure out which one it is
On top of that I want to hurt my husband
So, just call me Downer Dawn today

I watched the Biggest Loser
It is misleading to see those people loose so much in 1 week
I had to keep reminding myself that they are at fat camp
They are doing nothing except training...no real life drama
It is neat to see them though...just with a careful eye

I tried the Carrot cake version of the 100 calorie Hostess cupcakes
Not as good as the chocolate and 2 points instead of one
I will be staying with my chocolate 1 pointers

Day 84

I did really good during the day

Took the kids to the fair tonight
And I didn't go hog wild!
About half way through the fair I figured out how to eat and enjoy without going crazy
Only buy things that the kids will eat too
Then I ended up sharing it between the 4 of us
So I never got a full serving of anything

I did plan to go all out if I found the fried Snickers
I have been wanting one of those 4 or 5 years!
I finally found the vendor right before we left and they were out of Snickers!
Isn't that the shits!
But it was meant to be...

Day 83

Ok, so I haven't been very good today

I had a very stressful morning and I turned to food
Went to Sonic for lunch
Had a large coke (instead of a route 44...good)
A grilled chicken with honey mustard (very good choice)
A regular order of tator tots (only ate 1/2 and was full...very good news)
So my lunch ended up being ok

Was very hungry at dinner time
We went to A &W/LJS
I had a piece of chicken and fish, 2 hush puppies, fries and 2 root beers
Not the best choice, but I didn't eat as much as I would have 3 months ago
I would have got one of the big platters before

When we got home I had 2-3 servings of wafer cookies

On the good side of all this food...my stomach doesn't seem to require as much food to get full
I have only used 5 of my 35 flex points for the week
So I will be ok for the week if I stay on track through the weekend

Day 82

I am addicted to the peanut butter Fiber One granola bars (9g of fiber)
I'm no that crazy about peanut butter but I love these!
I have to eat them every morning for breakfast

I can say that I didn't eat one this morning, instead I had 2 kashi blueberry waffles (6g of fiber)
They were very good and better than the plain
Both of my breakfast items are 3 points each

I tried another 100 calorie pack today that I loved
The chocolate animal cookies
They were really good and 2 points

Day 81

The scales read the same
But I am cool with that
25 is still unbelievable to me!

I stopped by 7-11 to get a coke tonight and it was very different
Those of you that don't know, I stopped by there a couple of days a week and got 2 donuts and a coke all last school year
I haven't been there to do that since I started on this journey
It was such a big step for me to go in there and not get a donut
I did look that way and smile but kept right on walking

Baby steps

Day 80

Stayed within my point range
I did eat 2 packages of the Hostess 100 cal cupcakes
But, the are only 1 point a package
So 2 whole points for all 6 and I got my sweet and chocolate fill

I found a pair of pants that I haven't been able to wear in awhile
They are very loud and colorful
But I don't care!
Just happy that I can fit back in them!

Going to weigh tomorrow

Day 79

25 freakin' pounds!
That sounds so wonderful!
I was a very happy woman this morning!

I made a yummy dinner tonight
I breaded chicken breast with Italian breadcrumbs, seasoning salt and Parmesan
Bought new potatoes and sliced them up and tossed them with 3T of light butter, Parmesan cheese and Lipton Savory Garlic and Herb mix
It was so hard not to eat all the left overs! I had to hurry and put them in the frig
Looking forward to having it again tomorrow night for dinner

Day 78

I am back on track now
In fact, I didn't have much to eat today
16 point total before I went to a sex toy party (Pure Romance is the name)
I did have 2 margaritas there (by the way, can you believe they are 5 points each!)
So as I go to bed I am ending the day at 26 points

I am going to get on the scales tomorrow morning
Hoping it says 25

Day 77

Yes, I'm late blogging
I ate so damn much yesterday that I had a belly ache and went to bed at 8

I did so well serving donuts at our Donuts for Dad breakfast at school
Didn't have a single one
Those that don't know me very well, it is my favorite food

But when it came to lunch I was so hungry and I wanted more than what I brought
So I went to Dara Marie's and had a breakfast casserole, coke and an iced sugar cookie
During the afternoon I had a fucking donut! Why in the hell were those things still there?
For dinner we went to Ricky's
There I had enchiladas, beans, chips and cheese, tortillas and of course a sopaipilla...can't forget the 2 cokes

That's why I went to bed early

Today will be better

Day 76

I have to say that I love when people notice that I have lost weight
And I love for them to tell me
I guess that is another part of the extrovert that I am
Also need all of the encouragement I can get!

I think I am at 25 or more but haven't weighed...just feeling it

I ordered from Domino's tonight
Needed some pizza man!
So I had pizza, coke, cheese bread and oreo pizza
But you know, I only had 2 pieces of pizza, 4 pieces of the cheese bread, 2 small cokes and 2 or 3 pieces of the oreo pizza
I know that sounds like a lot but I would have eaten a lot more 3 months ago
It was damn good too!

Back on the wagon tomorrow

Day 75

I have been thinking about trying on some jeans but putting it off
I finally did it last night
I am glad to say that I had 2 pair that were too big
Found 2 pair that fit really well
Wore a light khaki pair today...I felt very good!
When I was trying them on last night, Drayton looked at me and said "Hot momma"

Day 74

1 more pound!
I'm now at 24 pounds gone!
To say that I was happy this morning is an understatement!
I can possibly hit 25 by Saturday!

I have been a little hungry in the evenings lately
But I think it is due to not enough water
Just can't seem to drink enough while I am working
But I drink 2-3 bottles when I get home though
Just got to push that up during the day

Chloe has a tummy virus
I have been feeling a little queasy all day
Don't know if it is fear that I am going to come down with it or its the real thing
I hope not! I just can't miss work right now

Off to bed to get some rest

Day 73

Good evening
I am feeling so good!
It is amazing what happens when the weight starts to come off!

I seem to be going over in my points by 1-2 every day
But if I were exercising that wouldn't be a problem...
As I have said many times, I am not going to beat myself up over it!

As I am typing this out Dr. 90210 is coming on
I love this show!
As most of you know, I will be one of those patients next summer
My husband has promised me a boob lift after I loose 100 lbs.
But I have almost decided to get a tummy tuck instead
You can always buy a good bra (36F right now) but you don't have any anything to make the tummy any better
After 3 kids and 3 c-sections I have no elasticity left and it is so gross
Looking forward to next summer!

Can't wait to weigh tomorrow!

Day 72

I made a mistake,,
I'm sure you have noticed by now and I not figured out how to fix it
So we will just have 2 Day 70s

It is pretty wonderful!
Even my underwear are loose!
It seems like every time I put something on it fits differently
In fact my pile of clothes that are too big is getting bigger!

Made quesadilla with hamburger meat for dinner
Very yummy
But ya know, when you are watching what you eat it all taste damn good because you are so FREAKIN HUNGRY!

Day 70

Not much going on here today
Tyring to take it easy this weekend

I am back on track
Made good food choices today

Looking forward to weighing on Tuesday

Day 70

Yes, it is true
I did loose 3 more pounds
The scales weren't toying with me
23 pounds...hard to believe!

I have a good friend that is loosing weight also and has lost so much that she can now tuck in her shirts
I want to so bad
I tried this morning and it looked disgusting
I have this flab down low from 3 babies that is so gross
And I really want to show of my body and I can't
I am so jealous

We ended up at Ghetto Pizza tonight (aka-Cici's)
After seeing a to go cup in a friend's car I have been thinking about it ever since
Isn't that horrible!
So I gave into the temptation!

This next week has got to be on the straight and narrow

Day 69

I can't fucking believe it!
I stepped on the scale this morning and I have lost 3 pounds!
I was getting on the scale to scare myself...then bam!
I was really hoping to just break even this week and look 3 pounds
I am even afraid to get on the scale again because maybe it was wrong!?

23 pounds is 69 days!

Day 68

I am over on my points by 5
But looking back, did I really use all of my 35 flex points on Sunday?
I doubt it
So I am not going to kick myself over it

I didn't get my ass out of bed again today
I was very disappointed with myself
But after talking it out with a friend, I feel better about it
I am ready to go to bed around 9 then it is still hard to get up at 6
Plus, I am going non stop during the day
So, I am going to give myself a break with exercise for awhile
But I will be watching the scale very closely for any change

Day 67

Hello everybody!
I have to say that I have been a little down today because of my eating habits yesterday
Then I just couldn't get my ass out of bed to work out this morning

But leave it up to other people to bring you back up again
I had many people come up to me and comment on my weight loss and how good I looked
This is really what I needed today

I hardly ate anything today
Came home from a parent meeting and had pizza staring at me
But I was able to have 2 pieces and still stay in my point range

As for getting on the scale...I didn't
I will just wait until Saturday
I am down on myself enough already
I don't want to make it worse

Day 66

I didn't do so hot today
Everything was ok until my trip home from Muskogee
I was very tired and needed a snack and a big coke to wake me up
Instead of choosing something healthy, I choose almond M&M's and a 44oz coke
I have to admit they were pretty damn good

Then for dinner we went to Freddy's
There I had a double cheese burger, fries and a coke
On a side note, have you been there yet?
Their burgers and fries are so good
Both are very unusual
Not your normal burger and fry dinner

Thinking back over today I think I can blame this one on my cycle
I have been fighting a migraine all week and it is the end of the month

So I have my splurge out of me and I will be back on track tomorrow morning

Day 64 & 65

At my mother's for the long weekend
I haven't been going crazy but I also haven't been depriving myself
I have been paying attention to portions and servings
If I eat chips, I don't just grab the bag
I count out how many are a serving
I know I am over a bit for my points for the day
But I plan to not use my flex points this week
Plus, yesterday was my last day for last weeks flex points

My mom made a yummy cake
She used a chocolate cake mix but used applesauce instead of oil
Then poured FF carmel over the top and baked
Frosted with cool whip
I figured it to be around 5 points a slice
What a great mom!

Day 63

Day 63 and it finally happened!
I am a little (ounces) over 20 pounds!
And very relieved!

I feel so much better today!
No stomach cramps!
Hopefully it is the medicine and it keeps helping!

A couple of new foods I have discovered...
Garden Harvest Toasted Chips (in the cracker section)
I had the Tomato Basil...it tasted just like pizza chips
2 points for 16

I got the WW candy earlier in the week, but I forgot about it!
I hid it from the kids and I just remembered it today!
1 point for 1
I choose the English Toffee Squares
It was a little on the expensive side but I am a candy kinda girl
So I was very happy to find these
On a side note, I tried a sugar less chocolate fun size bar and wasn't impressed
But I was impressed with the WW candy

I did go to Moe's for dinner and did eat like I would have before
I was so full!
I really don't think I ate out of my point range
Just haven't had time to figure it out
But tomorrow is the last day of using these 35 flex points for the week and I have only used 5 before today

The kids and I are going to my mom's tomorrow
I am looking forward to relaxing and doing nothing
I need to take it easy
These past 2 weeks have been rough!
So picture me 20 pounds lighter laying in the pool all weekend

Don't know if I will get around to blogging Saturday and Sunday
So it may be Monday night before I do

Happy Labor Day my fellow bloggies!

Day 62

Today has been a very hard day
I haven't felt good and my students were wacko
But on a positive note, I have not strayed from my good eating habits

I did go to the minor er after work today
They think that my stomach cramps are caused by stress
Which is causing stomach acid to built up in my stomach and into my esophagus
I am on a new med
I hope it helps

I am taking care of myself and I should feel good and not like crap!

I am also giving myself a break from exercising
I need to be resting more

Day 61

Wow, this is the first time that I haven't posted before I went to bed
So I'm giving you a short update then off to get in the shower

I went to bed at 7:30 last night
I can't seem to get enough sleep but also I was having pretty bad stomach cramps
Still don't know what's causing them
If I still feel bad today, I plan to go to the minor emergency after school

Still haven't hit 20 pounds
Just a couple of ounces away
As long as I hit it by Saturday I'm ok

Day 60

I did weigh but it was not accurate
The scale kept giving me different numbers
I know I have lost it but the scales are toying with me
So I will weigh again tomorrow

I didn't get up and work out
So damn tired!
I plan to do it the rest of the week
So 4/7 days will be ok
Trying to give myself one day a week day to sleep just a little longer

I did stay with my dinner plans...quesidilla
I really wanted to go to that damn Mazzio's buffet
But I didn't give into temptation

Day 59

Wouldn't it kick ass if I weighed tomorrow on day 60 and lost 20 pounds?!
I will let you know tomorrow night...

I forgot to tell you about a new yummy for me
I have tried the Fiber One chocolate chip granola bars before
This time I bought the PB & oats
I am not a huge fan of PB, but this rocks!
It is so good!
And 3 points...a great on the go breakfast!
Plus 9g of fiber!

I was very tired and hungry on the way home today
But I stayed with my plan of home made pizza
Just ate a 2 point 100 calorie snack in the car and chugged some water
I know I am not drinking enough water during the day
But that is something I'm working on

Day 58

Welcome to the next installment of "What the Fuck!"
Went to Walmart today and picked out some bread
Reading the label I see the serving size is 3 pieces!
Who the hell eats 3 pieces of bread as a serving
I can see 2 for a sandwich or 1 for a half
But 3!

I meant to say yesterday that my shorts that I got at the beginning of the summer are so loose!
To the point of falling off!
I love it!

Made talapia and brown rice for dinner
It tasted very good

I have planned out dinner for Monday and Tuesday
That should keep me out of trouble for a couple of nights

One of my comments yesterday was that Chinese buffets were now out
Yes and no to that
I am not going to give up things that I really like
It will just depend on what my food intake is for a week or two
Have I been in control?
When is the last time I splurged?
Remember I did go to Mazzio's buffet earlier this week and I still lost a total of 3 pounds for the week

Day 57

Are you ready for this?
I weighed this morning...19 pounds even!
Can you freakin' believe it!
1 pound away from 20!
Another way to look at it is 81 more pounds to get rid of!

I haven't felt to good the past couple of days
I haven't had any stomach cramps since I started in this journey the end of June
But they are back
I don't know what it is
But I feel like shit

Back to weight loss
My reward for 20 pounds gone is good make-up
I think my face always looks bad even with makeup
So I am going to go to Dillards and get them to do it and buy it from them
But I don't know what brand...so if you have any suggestions...

Day 56

Looking back at my past 2 weeks, I had said that I wanted to keep better track of my flex points used
And I have

I was so very hungry when I got home tonight
I'm surprised that I didn't eat everything in sight
Just stuck with my WW pizza
My dawn power is really rockin'

Did get up a little after 5 this morning to work out
As long as I can get my feet on the floor and my ass out of the bed, I am fine
It is just the getting out of bed problem
But I have worked out 4 days this week
I am proud of that

Looking forward to weighing in the morning
Will not be upset if I haven't lost anymore this week because I did loose a pound at the beginning of the week
Plus we did go to Mazzio's

Happy to maintain
Jump for joy if there is any loss

Day 55

Well, I didn't get around to walking tonight
I ended up taking the kids to the Big Red Rally
We didn't get home until 8ish and then getting the crazy kids in bed
Then I had to watch Big Brother!
You got to have your priorities man!

Finished off the last of the cake
I was sad to see it go
But I can say that I only had 3 pieces
Herb ate the rest
It is his birthday and all...

I hope to get up tomorrow morning and work out
But I am also not going to beat myself up over it
It has been such a hard week

Day 54

Just got through walking
I just couldn't get out of bed this morning and workout
I was so damn tired
So I walked tonight instead
It wasn't planned, but when I noticed how nice it was out tonight I wanted to
There was such a nice breeze
It was so nice out, I think I may do it again tomorrow too

The icing recipe...
1 box of ff/sugar free pudding
1 pkg of Dream Whip topping mix
1 1/2 cups of skim milk

The cake was 3 points and the icing was 1
So 4 points for a piece of cake!
Not bad
I will be making this again!

Day 53

My first words this morning were Holy Shit!
I got on the scales this morning and I have lost another 1.2 since Saturday
So I am now at 17.2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think part of it is that stress usually works against me but this time it is in my favor
I am going non stop that I don't have time eat

Got up at 5 this morning and worked out
My plan is to do it M-F

I did go eat Mazzio's buffet tonight
But I am not worrying about it
I do need to let myself have it once in awhile

I made a cake for Herbie's birthday
It was really good
I figured it was 4 points per piece
The cake-one cake mix and a diet coke
Don't add any other ingredients but bake it the same
Tomorrow I will tell you about what I did for the icing...

Day 52

Here is the recipe for the muffins I was raving about last week:

These muffins totally rock
I want to try them again with white chocolate chips

I am so dog ass tired!
I have been up since 5:15
I did exercise though
I love getting it over with in the morning
I do it so damn early, I forget it even happened!
Plus, I am all alone...very peaceful
Except for the heavy breathing and cussing!

I could easily have gotten myself in trouble today
We didn't leave school until 5:45
I was very tired and starving
I didn't eat much today
But I had my leftovers waiting for us at home
So I stuck with it
I have made a plan of pizza for dinner tomorrow (ready made crust)
So that should be easy

But it would be so damn easy just to call fuckin' Pizza Hut!

Day 51

Tomorrow is the big day
The first day of school
Nothing much going on here today

I did fix spaghetti for dinner
It was so good!
I didn't make it any differently than I usually do
Maybe it was not eating much today...
Who knows, but it was damn good

I forgot to mention that I bought
Laughing Cow cheese
The Light version is only 1 point for a wedge
It can be found in the deli section
I ate it with my high fiber crackers
It was very good
Always looking for something different

Planning ahead to dinner tomorrow night...
Plan to have left over spaghetti

Day 50

Day 50 is a big day for me...
I didn't lose 15 pounds like I planned...
I lost 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you freakin' believe that!
I sure can't!
I am so very proud!

I sometimes think people think I am bragging when I offer how much I have lost in conversation
But, I have learned if you can't toot your own horn...who is going to toot it for you
Nobody
And I need all the help and encouragement that I can get!

Made a very good dinner tonight
I baked salmon (2 points), a small ear of corn (1) and I had planned to make myself brown rice while the kids had mac and cheese (8)
But I got to counting up my points and I had only had 14 points before dinner and I have only used 10 of my 35 flex points for the week
After eating some extra stuff, I still just ate my daily points and didn't even get into my flex points

Damn I am good!
