Fresh Start! 9/24/08
I obviously haven't been doing well tracking. I've gotten behind and my weight loss has slowed to show for it! I lost nothing last week and only 0.2lbs this week. So I'm starting again today! I've already tracked my whole day and it's only 9am. I do best when I know what I'm eating the whole day instead of tracking after the fact.
I have 10 days until we leave for Atlanta and hope to have another big loss before then. I don't plan on tracking too much while we're there but I'll try to make decent choices. However, I know there are a few very not point friendly that DH wants to take me. We have something (zoo, aquarium etc) planned every day so I'll be getting a lot of AP with all the walking. And I plan on drinking a TON of water!
Weigh In Day: Wednesday
Current Weight: 205.8
Flex Balance: 35
Daily Points: 28
Breakfast: 1 egg white, light english muffin, 1 turkey sausage link, 1 slice 2% cheese, 1 cup light oj- 4pts
Lunch: Tuna sandwich on wheat with light mayo, apple, carrots with dill dip- 6.5pts
Dinner: Swedish Meatballs, Mashed Potatoes, Salad with Spicy Ranch- 12pts
Total: 22.5/28 That leaves room for a snack and maybe a coffee after the library.
Water: Aiming for 64oz.
Vitamin: Yes
Fruit/Veggies: I think I actually have all 5 in there!

Weigh In and Daily Log~ 9/10/8!
Today is WI day and I'm down 3.4lbs!
I also had a maor NS victory last night and am so glad I did otherwise my loss would be a lot less. I had class until late and really wanted a quesadilla from Taco Bell after. I fought with myself the whole drive home. I actually got off the freeway and drove towards TB. And then made myself drive right PAST it! The craving went away after that. I'm SO glad I did! :)
I'm so happy that I stayed OP for a whole week! The first week is always the hardest and I think I can stck with it this time! My current goal is to be at my pre-preg weight (204lbs) before Avery's birthday on the 29th. That's only 2lbs so I'll definately make it! After that my goal is below 200 before December 1st. :)
My mom has the kiddos since I have school tonight and I got to sleep in this morning! Took me a while to get going and I ended up missing breakfast.
Flex Balance: 35
Daily Points: 28 (dropped a point today!)
Breakfast: Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte- 3pts
Lunch: Panera 1/2 SmokedTurkey with Fresh Mozzarella, bowl LF Chicken Noodle Soup, Apple, 1/2 lemonade- 11.5pts
Snack: Pumpkin Muffin- 2pts
Dinner: Pizza Pocket, cantaloupe- 5.5pts
Total: 22/28 (I'm sure I'll have a snack after class.)
Water: Eek! None! I better get drinking!
Vitamin: Yes
Exercise: Spent 3 hours walking around shopping. :) I might go for a walk tonight if I get out of class early enough.

Daily Log~ 9/06/08
It's a late post but at least it's here! :) I didn't do too bad today. Went over into my Flex Points by a few but that's what they're there for! I told DH off for buying cookie dough today! That's one of my biggest weaknesses! Hopefully I can stay away from the rest of them, or at least figure them into my dailies...LoL
A bit of a challenge and a victory at lunch today! I had planned on walking to Boston Market for lunch at work but when I got there, they were closed for some repairs or something. I'd had my whole meal planned out and in the tracker. The only other thing close enough that I had time for was Burger King. I hadn't looked up points at all and I don't eat there often. So I made the best choice I could that I would be satisfied with and it turns out, it was one point less than what I was going to get at Boston Market! :) I could've ended up with something REALLY high in points but I made a good choice!
WI DAY: Wednesday
Flex Balance: 33.5 (after today)
Daily Points: 29
Breakfast: 1 egg white, slice 2% cheese, turkey sausage link, english muffin- 3pts
Snack: NF, No whip Pumpkin Spice Latte- 5pts (no more SB until after Wednesday morning!)
Lunch: Whopper JR w/ cheese (no mayo), Apple fries with 1/2 carmel packet- 9pts
Snack: Luna bar- 3pts
Dinner: Ham, stuffing, broccoli- 6.5pts
Dessert: 3 small cookies- 5pts
Total: 31.5/29
Water: About 64oz
Vitamin: Yup!
Exercise: Short walk on my lunch at work. (1AP)

Daily Log 9/04/08
I stayed OP yesterday! Hopefully I can keep it up! I had a change in dinner plans last night because the Spinach Lasagna was awful! I'm not a big fan of spinach but I thought the cheese would cover up the taste like in Spinach Artichoke Dip...umm...not so much! I took one bite and couldn't eat it. (DH liked it but he actually likes spinach...) So I ended up having a PB sandwich and milk after class. :)
I need to try and exercise today. I've never been a big exercise person but know I really need to. I can't wait to get my mom's treadmill because I know I'll use it. But until then, I'm going to start using the Wii Fit again. I'm aiming for an hour while the girls nap today. I'm also about to do yardwork which seems like exercise to me!
Breakfast: Fruit Loops with 1% Milk- 3.5pts
Snack: Tall Skinny Vanilla Latte- 2pts
Lunch: Homemade Pizza Pocket, corn, cantaloupe- 6pts
Dinner: Crockpot Chicken Enchiladas, chips, guacamole- 16pts (If I eat the whole thing which I doubt I will.)
Total: 27.5/29
Water: None yet. Aiming for 64oz.
Vitamin: Yes
Fruits/Veggies: 5
Exercise: 60 min on the Wii Fit.

Daily Log~ 9/2/08
Today is our Anniversary! We've been married 2 years and together for 5 today! :) I'd love to say we're going out and splurging on an amazing dinner but unfortunately, I have class right after work from 6-10pm. Hopefully we can celebrate this weekend.
This morning the scale showed a gain of 0.6lbs since last week's WI. Hopefully that will go back down by tomorrow but I'm not expecting much of a loss. This just means I have to try even harder next week!
Jason picked out the recipes for last night and not only were they low point, they were really tasty! I think we'll try making Chinese more often!
WI Day: Wednesday
Flex Balance: None
Daily Points: 29
Breakfast: Bagel with WW cream cheese- 4pts
Snack: Tall Skinny Vanilla Latte- 2pts
Lunch: Turkey bologna sandwich, diced pears, pretzel sticks- 5pts
Dinner: Lite hotdog, bun, chili sauce, tater tots, cheese- 12.5pts
Total: 23.5/29
Water: Only about 8-10oz so far. Need to get drinking.

Fell Off Track...Again!
I'm having so much trouble staying on track lately! Between starting school this past week and Jason's birthday this weekend, I just haven't been sticking to plan. I have 2 days until WI so I'm picking it back up today and hopefully will still see a loss this week.
Avery's birthday is in less than a month and I'd really like to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight before than. That's about 4-5lbs. I know I can easily do that if I stick to plan.
Hopefully we can pick up that treadmill soon so I can increase my exercising too!
Any ideas on how to stay motivated to stay OP?
