I've mentioned that Fridays are hellish at my work yes? Ok, so they are. Always. This week was no exception and since I've been re-acquainting myself with hunger I was able to identify the stomach rumblings of irritation or stress (and find that drinking water or my beloved Sobe Lifewater helps). Side note and mini ad: Safeway has SobeLifewater on sale 10 for 10$.
So today I had to run to the bank at lunch and instead of going to Starbucks for a coffee and an egg salad sandwich (that is one of my favorite lunches) I remembered that there's a Subway in the same complex as my bank. I know I have talked about my love of the sandwich but it cannot be overstated. I LOVE sandwiches. And the Veggie delight at Subway is 4 points. Well worth it to add on the pepperjack cheese and a diet coke and I felt satisfied and ready to face the rest of the crazy busy afternoon.
I don't trust our scale at home so I borrowed one for the weekend weigh-in on Sunday. I'm thinking that last week's number is not going to be equalled this week and I'm going to be ok with whatever the number is. I do know that I did things differently this week and that is yet another step in the right direction. I bought the Wii from my friend, I know that is going to be another step - easy access to exercise that does not feel like a chore.
So, today's meal was the Subway and diet coke and I'm not sure what's for dinner. I was exploring the ww website and found that a gin and tonic is 3 points.....I'm thinking I may check on the points in a nice cold rum and coke. By the way, I checked and 1 measley piece of cheese pizza (or add mushrooms to is) is 4 points. I cannot just eat 1 piece. THAT is not on my menu. But I'm guessing some Wii games are. :)
One day. One pound. One step at a time.

Yum, Subway! I love sandwiches, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, have that second piece of pizza and then just use those extra "activity points" you are going to earn tonight with your Wii!!
you make a very good point about the pizza. Last night I was craving proteins something fierce so I had cottage cheese, gardenburger (roasted tomato/basil, just by itself) and a CAN of Fry Chick. Yes, a can. I played the Wii and found myself ravenous at 10:30. So I looked up the points values (6 by the way, the same as in a Spinach Feta Wrap from Starbucks) and still didn't meet my total #s. Didn't drink either, allergies kicking my butt so water water water.
ReplyDeleteto clarify, I just looked again, the can of Fry Chick was 10 points, not 6. But I still ended the day with 8 points left.
ReplyDeleteGood girl!! I really need to get serious about staying in my points. I have been VERY good about writing EVERYTHING I put in my mouth down (I have a journal I am keeping on that), even if it is just a bite. And I am counting my points, and this weekend I made good progress of staying in, I think?! So you are amazing that you are always under or just at. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteGOOD for you!! It takes a little bit till it's a habit and can be seriously depressing but when I know my option is to go over my # (was 35 and by the way it goes down as you lose weight....so I'm now at 34) or eat something...I drink a Crystal Lite or eat a 1 point thing.
