Veggie De-light!

Did you know a Garden Burger is only 1 point!!???  AWESOME!!  If you make it with a low calorie bun and just a touch of mayo - plus onions, pickles, mustard and ketchup... you will be in HEAVEN! It seems so much like a splurge, I can't believe it fits into the WW plan!!!

Tomorrow is weigh in day...  I shouldn't get any gold stars for the week - it was hard to stay on plan... However, I did record my points.  So, fingers crossed... we will see how it goes tomorrow. 

I weighed in...

wow.  crap.

I went to weight watchers yesterday and weight 162.3  So sad.  I need to really try hard to make a change.

Major Failure. 

Today was super busy at work and I tried to be healthy and order chicken tacos for lunch... but then everything fell apart.  Lunch was over a 1/2 hour late - by the time it arrived I was totally stressed out and starving.  The chicken tacos I ordered turned out to be fried and they came with a side of rice and beans with cheese.  I was so hungry that I just thought "to hell with it" and ate it all. 

I got full enough that I didn't snack... but then later in the day was tagged in a facebook photo from a wedding last weeekend.  Upon looking at the photo I see myself as haggard and fat and wish that I had had watercress and cucumbers for lunch instead of Mexican. 

sigh. 

Tomorrow is a new day...

I didn't do well this weekend.. but I know I can do better tomorrow.  so, I'm going to to try and get up early and go for a long walk. 

Bad News

Yes, its been three days since last posting and, not surprisingly, I have eaten poorly and feel like crap.  Yesterday at a wedding, I had two cupcakes and many cups of sangria.  Also, weighed myself this morning to find that I GAINED a pound (158lb)

I got a lot done today!!! YAY!  It was a little rocky last night - (i snuck a few sour cream and onion ruffles in right before bed), and then the cat brought in a baby possum (dead) and I was afraid of waking up with dead animals on me all night...

So, I have to say that I was a little worried about today.  HOWEVER, so far things have been good :)  I actually ordered a Salad (gasp!) from Big Boy and I had a peach for dessert (double gasp!)

Dinner was a pretty yummy Jimmy Deans D-Lights breakfast sandwich.

Points breakdown:

21.5 Used - .5 over my daily allotment... (I might be a little off.... my late night snack attack, well, attacked at I did have a bite of a cookie late at night.  Hopefully I will get better at this tracking stuff with practice...)

Detox with Clean Diet?

The Clean Diet - Dr. Junger:  So... I'm thinking about trying this, but I'm not sure I can actually handle it!!  GP is a huge fan and I read about it on her goop.com

Here is what she says about the program:
What it came down to was this: you can detox easily and effectively while you continue to eat as long as you are cutting out the foods and other substances that interfere with the detoxification process. Make sure you check with your doctor before you start any detox. Drink A LOT of water. I created this menu plan for a seven-day elimination diet. The shakes and juices are meant to be liquid meals that help decrease the amount of work your digestive system has to do. I will be suffering along with you to kickstart my year a bit lighter. Good luck to us all!


 

Anyone have any thoughts?  Have you tried a detox with any success???

Okay, so I am a Weight Watcher following WEIGHT WATCHERS.  I have followed the plan before and done well... but then I sort of stopped paying attention and, of course, the weight all came back on the heels of friend chicken and magic shell sundaes. 

So, today I tracked points.  I tried to make healthy choices.  I hope I can do the same tomorrow. 

I weighed in at 157lbs.

I ate 24.5 points - that's 3.5 points over my 21 point allowance.  I only had one sugar cookie. 

So, I feel pretty good about that.  Now if I can just get up tomorrow with enough drive to walk for an HOUR.

This time I MEAN IT.

I've been trying to lose weight for 31 years. 

This time I'm not going to think about getting to my goal weight or never eating ice cream again.  This time I just want my clothes to fit.  I don't want to have to throw out yet another wardrobe because my jeans have become, inevitably, too tight.  I want to feel better, have more energy and get more done.  I want to feel IN CONTROL. 

I realize that I can't control "life" but I do need to feel like I am in control of the decisions I make and what I put in my body.  I've gone through a lot of changes in the last six months... and I have the distint impression that if I don't assert myself now and make some decisions about how I want the rest of my life to be, it won't happen.

So, here I go!!!  I can totally do this.
