From the top of the world to the low valley below! I was so excited to weigh myself this morning, I have been doing everything right, and just knew I'd see a loss, I hadn't climbed on that scale in at least 3 days, which was hard not to do! I gained a frickin' pound & 3 oz. How disappointing and frustrating. My son had an 8 am basketball game, so I grabbed a serving of ricotta treat and ate it so that I wouldn't do what I proceeded to do anyway below. He and his team did really well, so I decided to treat him with a McDonalds breakfast sandwich, something they never get. So I ordered one for the baby thinking I'd eat 1/2 of his, but then my daughter only ate half of hers, so I ended up eating a whole one - and a hashbrown, and let me tell you, when I was entering the nutrition information into the computer, it wasn't pretty. I should have looked at that first, I knew it would be bad, I just didn't realize how bad. Had I looked at it first, maybe I wouldn't have eaten it. So now I'm just down on myself for this and for the weigh in, I shouldn't have done that! I hate this dieting CRAP! Anyhow, I'm pretty sure I've used up a large portion of my points, if not all of them, and it's 10am, this is not a good start! Guess I'll have to dig into those extra weekly points after all. This is going to take for freaking ever, seems like too big of a mountain to climb. How can ones feelings go high and low so fast?

Exercise:
Elliptical: 32 minutes; 1.72 distance; 154 calories; rough goin', couldn't get motivated, will try again later today.

Took a 1/2 hour walk with the kids, but it was dang cold!!

Did a few reps of light weights & resistance bands while hoping on and off the elliptical because I just couldn't get going.

Surely this day will be a lesson to self! I think I'll try to stay on the elliptical all through Jaxons nap, hopefully he'll take a 2 hour one!

Well, that 2 hour nap was wishful thinking, and even if he had, I just couldn't get into it, I did 30 mins and called it good. Hopefully I can get another 30 minute bout in later. However, I am over my whining and realize that my horrid breakfast is not the end of the world, oh the drama :)

I feel on top of the world today. Have I mentioned that I LOVE weight watchers, and it is definitely the right choice for me? I love being able to eat the foods I LOVE and not feel guilty about it! I felt like I feasted all day yesterday, but was actually under points a bit! I was over points the day before, so I figure it will all equal out. Can't beat that! I even found the time to get in two 30 minute sessions on the elliptical yesterday, that felt wonderful (my knees disagreed, but we will figure something out there soon hopefully). I bought those egg beaters to cut some calories, but I really can't stand the things, so I'm back to real eggs, and as a result, my fat count is going to be kind of high today (thanks to the added cream cheese - but that is gone now, so I'm glad to have it out of the fridge and in the trash - can you tell I can't stand to waste anything?), but that's OK! Anyhow, great start to what I'm sure will be a great day! I'm praying that the scale will show me something good tomorrow to keep this mood up!

Breakfast - 6 points
Lunch - 7.5 points

I am feeling so much better with WW and eating the foods I love! I had an apple and popcorn yesterday, two of my favorite foods that I hadn't touched in 3 weeks! They tasted marvelous! I went a bit over on my points yesterday (not really, I just hadn't planned on using any of my 35 extra points, trying to just stick to my target poings), but today will be better I'm sure of it. Just overindulged late last night in the foods I hadn't touched in 3 weeks (which were mostly all healthy foods), which wouldn't have happened had I gotten to bed earlier! Saturday is my weigh in day, I am praying for a loss! My fat grams have come down and were at least 10 grams less than even my least calorie day on SB, and yesterday was the most calories I had eaten, so that makes me happy, this is such a better fit for me. Anyhow, happy to be back in the WW saddle!

I simply MUST get something accomplished today! I feel like I spent all day at the computer yesterday!

I've decided to go off SBD and go back to what I know, which is Weight Watchers and calorie counting. I've had big success with them in the past, lost 40 lbs, but just thought I wanted to try something different. The whole thought was that I didn't want to count calories and measure everything, but that is exactly what I'm doing. What didn't work for me about South Beach is that I can't have what I want (I NEED my grains & fruit), and my fat count was high, etc., I just think I'll do a whole lot better with this new plan. My mantra has always been a calorie is just a calorie, whether it be fat, protein, carb, or whatever, and I'm going back to that (yes, I know, fat grams have 9 calories, etc., but you know what I mean :). I'm not saying SB is bad, just not for me. In fact, I'll probably be doing pretty much phase 2 is what weight watchers amounts to. What I did like about SB was the same thing I didn't like about it - it got me off to a good start with no bingeing really because I was limited and determined not to cheat, so it did get me off to a really good start - I mean, I didn't lose a whole lot of weight, but I got in the right mindset, which is most of the battle for me. Don't worry team blue, I'm still very much in the race with you!! I didn't get an elliptical workout in yesterday, and guess what, my knees didn't hurt last night! The days I work out on the elliptical, my knees are killing me by bedtime, so I'll have to go through the manual to see how to adjust the pedals so that doesn't happen anymore. Hopefully I can do a slow painful hour today to make up for yesterday when the babe goes down for a nap :) There's a lot less kids activities today, so maybe I'll even get a video in. One can hope! Oh, and hooray, I didn't weigh in today!!! I surpassed the curiosity of the scale!

OK, got in 30 mins on the elliptical today, did the fat burner program up to level 8. 1.36 for distance and 173 calories burned according to machine. Hope to squeeze in a video after the piano tuner gets done.

28 points for the day, not too horribly bad, but not wonderful either! I hadn't wanted to use any of my flex points or whatever you call them, but guess I did. If I'd have gotten off this dang computer earlier and went to bed, this wouldn't have happened!!

Breakfast 4 points
Lunch - 6.5 points
Dinner - 6 points
Snacks - 8 points
Late Night snack - 3.5
Total - 28 points
