First few weeks back...

I was focused and it payed off at the scale on Saturday. I lost 3 lbs. my first week back! Our meeting focused on all types of losses, from large to small. And, I know that with a loss like that the first week, the second week is always slower. So, I'm trying to remember that slow and steady wins the race!

I had a "free day" Sunday and ate pasta, and some real ice cream. It was good going down, but then after I felt tired and heavy. So, first thing Monday morning, I was back in WW mode. Today I brought lots of fruits and veggies, and foods to keep me full!

And this also means, no more late night trips to the cabinet for cookies!! Even if they are calling my name and they are reduced fat, I am going to shut my eyes and just say no! That's my downfall, in the middle of the night I wake up to pee, and then I go scavenger hunting in the cabinets to help me fall back asleep.

I had a craving for Chinese yesterday, and I looked on E tools on the WW website, and it shows you how to make a lower fat spread. But, first I tried all the virtual things I usually eat, and it came up to like 41 points for just one meal! Now, I only get 27 points a day, so I will definately not be eating those items.

It's just crazy how you think something couldn't be that unhealthy, plus it tastes so good. But, the lesson I was reminded of is looking up the points values and the nutrition before I put it in my mouth. Because if you don't the taste takes over and you are done for!

Today I tried a new yoplait delights yogurt/pudding. It was chocolate rasberry, and it was really good! For me, it's all about variety and being in control. So, tonight if those cookies come a' callin', I'm going to shut them down without a second guess!!
