I'm back

Well it has been quite a while since my last post. I have been very busy with studying and getting my work done. Weight watchers has been going pretty well. At the moment I am fluctuating between 188-189 which is making me frustrated because I should have lost more by now. There have been a couple days where I know I went over my points and I am pretty sure that it what is stopping me from really losing any more. I have discovered that if i get pretty hungry during the day for a couple hours I seem to have lost weight the next day. I also feel that maybe 27 points for me is too much and I am going to try and maybe do 25 but its always so hard when you are hungry and you think oh I still have those two points left.

Another week

Well today was a good day for me. I got on the scales and it read 191.0. Yay! So I have lot another half pound. This is the longest time I have stuck with weight watchers, going strong into week three woo hoo! I am learning all the time about foods that are lower in calories but still really good and pretty filling. The only time I have really strayed was Superbowl Sunday for dinner. I went to some good friends of mine who had made some amazing food, the Superbowl works: Pizza, hot wings, dip, etc... and all of it amazing. However I was very proud of myself that I got right back onto Weight watchers the next day. Last night I made a Spaghetti Bolognaise with whole wheat Spaghetti. I have figured out that for every once of dry pasta it makes 2 ounces of wet. I therefore had 6 ounces of pasta last night for only 3.5 points. The pasta was whole wheat which makes a huge difference in points and overall is just so much better for you health wise.

This weekend is valentines day weekend. I will be eating a meal on saturday that makes me a little nervous. I need to figure out what I am making and measure out the calories, etc... On Sunday Austin and I are going to PF Changs, a Chinese Bistro, and one of my most favorite restaurants. I always get the chicken lettuce wraps which are to die for and was pleasantly surprised when I did the nutrition calculations last night that I can have the whole thing for about 13 points. I am however planning on getting some WW soup which is pretty good and always really low in calories with some of my double fiber bread and have that for lunch and maybe a yogurt and fruit for breakfast. This way I can keep my points down to a minimum and try to really enjoy myself that night. Austin has mentioned possibly getting me some candy for valentines day and if he does I will have to be really good and eat it very slowly. We will see how well that works. I did mention to him that he could get me some better bathroom scales for valentines day which is the absolute opposite in candy but its definitely what I need more.

At this moment we are about 1/3 of the way through February. Clemson has their spring break in about a month and I am going to try really hard to at least lose that 2 pounds a week and hopefully lose another 8 pounds or so before that time. My friend who are going with me are also quite health conscious and so we are going to try and plan meals that are healthy overall. I think I will still have to be careful that week though as we will be there during Saint Patricks day and overall will be having a great time.

Still going strong

Well these last few days have been going well for me. So far I have stuck to my points and am finding it relatively easy to do so. I am getting a little hungry at night but I try and drink water and not think about it. I got a little down because the scales said 193.0. However, good news. When I went on the scales today it said 191.5 so yay another 1.5 pounds down.

I feel really food about weight watchers this time. I don't think I have really stuck with it for this long and still felt so empowered. I have been doing weight watchers with a person quite close to me and it has made a world of difference. Talking about it keeps me on my toes and so far my heels haven't come down too far lol. I am finding more and more everyday foods that are pretty low in calories that can fill you up. For example, there is a double fiber bread that allows you two slices for a point! Do you know how great that is? I think its pretty fantastic. Also I really like weight watchers yogurts, you can have those for a point, and my mom recently got me onto a Greek yogurt called Chobani which has 18 grams of protein and no fat or fiber for just 100 calories. I like to add a little honey (about 1 TBS) to the yogurt and it makes it really yummy. This person who I am doing this new lifestyle with is also doing very well and it makes me so happy to see someone doing well with their weight, it inspires me more to keep going.

Today, even though I am not engaged quite yet, I started to think about my possible wedding and I became even more determined to lose the weight so that I could fit into the size I wanted to. I am hoping that tomorrow will not be too difficult. It is the superbowl and along with the superbowl comes lots and lots of food, and not always the best kind. I am just going to have to try my very best. I feel that I have done so well so far, I really do not want to mess it up with one day, so wish me luck!

On a Roll

Well today has been a good day. I got on the scales and they read 192.0. Woo hoo, so far lost almost 4 pounds. Hopefully the losing will continue. Today in food has also been good. I had a Greek yogurt with honey for breakfast, a weight watchers italian meat ball soup with two slices of bread (which by the way are only 1 WW point! They are double in fiber and only 50 calories for a slice). I also had some grapes and one of my 3 point brownies I made last night. For dinner I had some left over chicken parmesan I had made last night with one serving of pasta, some veggies, and a 2 point ice cream sandwhich for dessert, yum! I actually still have 2 points left for the day but do not feel hungry so I wont use them. Go me yay! So far it is all going well. As long as I can save about 16 points or so for dinner I usually do fine.

This weekend I may be going to Florida with Austin for the first bike race. I really hope I can go but may not be able to if there is not enough room. If not I am going to go home to Columbia. If I do go to Florida I am going to really have to watch what I eat. I really don't want to mess up everything I have worked so hard for these past two weeks. My I-Pod arrived at my mum's house today so will have it soon. It feels a long time since I bid on it.

Anyways this is me signing out for the night. Hopefully the good news will continue

The end of the day

Well today has gone quite well if i do say myself. I had chicken curry with vegetables for lunch and pizza for dinner. I still have two points left and am feeling quite full. I found out today that I did not get into NC State veterinary school. I was quite upset about it at first but realize that God has something bigger and better in store for me. I often turn to him to help me with weight loss and hope that this is the time I will really be able to come through. I hope that my weight will continue drop throughout the week. Wish me the best of luck.

Monday, again

Well here we are, another Monday, yet a new day for me to get back on track. So I did pretty bad yesterday. Austin and I went out to Ruby Tuesdays which was not bad but after had part of a milk shake and one of the apple dumplings I had made a couple days before. However I did have a pleasant surprise this morning. When I got on the scales it said 194.0. I weighed myself three times to make sure and each time it said the same thing. So a little bit of progress yay!

I am not really sure what I am going to eat for lunch. I have some hummus and Pita so I may have that along with veggies. As for dinner, I have no clue as of yet. I need to go and assess my meat situation. I had some oatmeal for breakfast, equaling two points. I am not really feeling all that hungry as of yet so that is good.
