Cheeks's Journal, 09 June 2008

BEWARE OF THE BAGUETTE!! I weighed myself on Saturday for the Infinity and Beyond challenge and came in at 181.4!!!! I was sooo excited! My husband and I then went on a 7 mile walk out to Castle Island (definitely sweat as it was in the 90's!!!). Yesterday was pretty low key….and I ate super low points because I was going to dinner with my old teammates from the original volleyball team I played with. I looked at the menu…and it all looked soooo great! I decided to go with the Tomato and Mozzarella Baguette (Sliced tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil leaves, then drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette and served on a toasted baguette. With a small side salad). I thought I was making a good choice…and thankfully I had only had under 10 points for breakfast and lunch. I ate everything…it was soooo yummy! When I got home, I was so upset because once I started entering things in….and trying to figure out points for the 12 inch baguette….I found that they fluctuated anywhere from 11 points to 24 points just for the baguette!!!!! =( Sooo to keep my sanity…I choose to enter only 11 points…and knew my 3.4 pound loss this week…might now be less for my official weigh in today. It was….BUT…its still a 2.9 weight loss this week! So, even though I'm disappointed because I really thought that I was making the right choices, and ended up at least 8 points over last night (probably more like 21 points over…), I still had one of the highest losses in a while for me. =) 26 pounds lost so far! =)

It's suppose to be in the high 90's today…and just stifling with the air quality. My car is stressing me out right now, because the key won't always turn…and even with wiggling the steering wheel…its taking a long time for the key to actually be able to turn. Looks like it will have to go in the shop tomorrow…hopefully it won't cost us an arm and a leg…but the good news is I'd have to work from home…because we only have one car right now…and luckily I can work remote. =)

Happy Monday.

Shout out to hubby too…he lost enough to have his weight loss color change to yellow! Way to go honey! We are sooo close to a healthier us! =)

Congrats to BOTH of you!!! I know how hard it is about making those choices in restaurants-- I tend to do that frequently, thinking I'm making a good choice then finding out it was way more points than I had estimated. Good news is that we are aware, and next time you go out, you probably won't get the baguette! The more we experience, the more we learn. It's all good-- and a 2.9 lb loss is nothing to sneeze at!!
