Bored = Bad News

I am bored... not that I don't have 40000000 things to do..... BUT I'm not in the mood.... and for some odd reason when I'm bored, I become hungry.... Can anyone figure that one out.... Right now I am trying not to eat useless junk that I don't even want but since I am bored and it is there it looks good.... The Chewy Sweet Tarts already got me, I will not give into the popcorn and nutrigrain bars..... Funniest thing is that they're not even bad for me...but I will be mad later when I don't have the points for something waaaay more delish... like ice cream and of course my newest addiction....teddy grahams and funfetti icing...... What a mess! hahaha K, thanks for letting me get that out.... I can go back to work now :) Have a great day!

Yum to the Um...

I was trying to think of new low point fun lunch ideas, so I googled 2 point lunches and I found this great site! http://weight-watchers-points-recipes.blogspot.com/ I will def. add this to a link on the WW websites that I use everyday section of my blog. I am craving the Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps... 2 for 3 points!!! http://weight-watchers-points-recipes.blogspot.com/2009/04/turkey-taco-lettuce-wraps-3-pts.html I just might have to whip them up! Anyway it is a great site, it has meal and snack ideas from 0 points all the way up to 8 points along with everything being classified into app, meal, dessert, etc. Just found these too, Black Bean Brownies (2 pts).... sound interesting... all of the reviews were good.. I think I'll have to try! I think it's funny that a couple people say that if they can try the recipe out on the husband and he doesn't notice then it's good stuff! Hahaha...so true... damn picky men! http://weight-watchers-points-recipes.blogspot.com/2008/06/b...

Weight Loss Plateau

I have been b/n 142 and 143 for the past month now and I am wondering if I hit a weight loss slump... so I looked it up and found some info.... Here are some suggestions for getting over the hill and I wanted to share :) http://www.healthdiscovery.net/articles/15Plateau_tips.htm I liked this suggestion: 12. Try varying your number of points Do you always eat at a certain number of points per day? Your body gets very efficient at predicting its intake and adjusts itself accordingly. Keep it guessing. Try mixing up the number of points you have...low one day, middle the next, back to low, then high end of your points. 4 things that I will do differently this week: a.) Have egg whites and cheese with my arnolds and laughing cow for bfast instead of a yogurt b.) exercise c.) vary my daily point intake (ex. Monday 19, Tuesday 25, Wednesday 22, etc.) d.) count out chip serving size and only have once or twice this week instead of everyday! haha What are you going to try?????

Another Week....

K, so today I weighed in and was 143.3...how annoying I gained 1.1 pounds...oh well, I guess it happens.... I should be happy though b/c I did run yesterday and I am super sore today and 143 is waaaay better then 160, right?? so with that being said, I'm over it and proud of myself! Until next monday..... here goes nothing... Yesterday's grubbage arnolds 1 laughing cow 1 chips 4 hoagie 8 teddy grahams (I am banning them this week!) 3 Chicken bake 6 cocktails 2 Total: 25 Water: 88 Activity: ran 2.5/walked 2.5

Competition....

My friend went to Ridley Creek today to run/walk the 5 mile trail...this inspired me to get my rear up and run/walk the trail as well. She runs almost all of the trail..b/c of that I was able to push myself to run 1/2 of it :) Woo Hoo...way to go!!! Well anyway.... This brings me to my thought for the day: Competition.... it's such a jeckal/hyde type of feeling. It is such a wonderful, positive motivator to do good things, get in shape, work out, push yourself, do your best at work, be creative, outgoing, etc.... BUT it also can turn pretty ugly as well....when does it take that turn from bringing out the best to unleashing the worst????? When I started to run, I told myself to just take it slow and steady and focus on breathing, the weather, what I'm going to do today, the song on my ipod, ANYTHING other then the time and what mile marker I am on. This was working... I kept using internal positive motivation, "You can do this", "you are doing this", ...
