What did you eat today? 02/17

B: 2 Yogurt Parfait's from McD's (6 pts - 260 cal) S: 12 Cadbury Mini Eggs (4 pts - 190 cal) L: 3/4 cup Chicken & Broc. in Garlic sauce (6 pts - 300 cal)      2 Fried Chicken wings (4 pts - 122 cal) S: 2 wedges of laughing cow garlic herb (2 pts - 70 cal)     4 Townhouse multi grain crackers (4 pts - 160 cal) D: 4oz Rib Eye steak (3 pts - 160 cal) S: 2 Chewy Granola Bars (4pts - 200 cal) Total: 33pts - 1462 calories I weighed in at WW this morning and I only lost .6 - pathetic.  The meeting was semi-focused on me.  I explained that I had been on a 1000-1200 calorie diet before I started WW and they all agreed that I haven't been eating enough.  My total points I'm supposed to be eating is 36 points and I think I only hit 29 once last week at the most.  So, this week I'm going to pig out and try to hit 36 points a day and see what happens.  I'm frustrated, but willing to experiment with my body.  Hopefully, with your support, I'll make it through the week and lose some weight.  Love you guys!!

I'm in the middle of my birthday 7-day bash (it's like Hanukkah, ya dig) right now and I am eating more or less whatever the hell I want.  Luckily, that doesn't amount to a hell of a lot-- most of my "bad choices" are in small amounts. I don't feel bad in any way-- I am living the way I planned it.

So basically what I learned is that no matter how far off track I allow my head to go, I don't get very far away at all. Good to know, eh?

Dinner Tuesday is wide open, and next Saturday I am throwing a party and that's a free night as well...(we're making the food so I can control what's in it)...all other nights are gonna be by the book, over 70g protein, etc. Next holiday isn't for many weeks. ;)

I found I am pretty good at this, and developing a lifestyle I can live with, which is cool. Not for everybody, but this works with me and allows just enough pleasure to keep things interesting!

That's awesome Shar - You're still eating pretty smart.  Hats off to you!

That is a crack up - i, too, have a Birth Week.  this past year, when i turned 50, it's been more like Ramadan.

I know I don't lose as well if I eat way below my points.  I usually don't eat my flex points (the extra 35 or 36 or whatever it is we're allowed)....although I'm going to Olive Garden for dinner tonight and will probably use them all there for the week....LOL.  I think you'll see a bigger loss with more points, Janina.  I know I cut way back on my carbs last week and that worked wonders for me...having pasta tonight though!  Will track here later.

yeah!  I recall that with WW - to eat your points each day.  Or save them. But i see that in your case, you don't operate that way.  You do a great job of being consistent.  I still have not really learned that; somehow weekends are a bit of a free for all.  PS luv u too. You are one of the saner ones, LOL!!!!!

My food: too late breakfast @ 10:30 after major house cleaning = 1 large slice sourdough + 1 egg + 2 veg patties + 1 c nf milk 12:30 = 1/2 protein bar 1:30 = 1/2 c tuna with light mayo + fresh sprouts + 1 svg all bran crackers + 1 diet dr pepper tonight = bbq pork ribs + fingerling potatoes, roasted + asparagus EDIT:  had 2 cheese biscuits with supper - red fat bisquick (the worst i know) and 1/2 **** cream after supper 2.5 hour bike ride today!  70 degrees out there, omg, lucky us to have this spring-y weather.  Next week is supposed to get ugly again.

Good start but went astray...LOL.  Guess today was my "free" day.

B: Monster lo-carb energy drink, 2 cups coffee L: nothing S: 1 flintstones vitamin D: Arroz Con Pollo, Tortilla chips with salsa and cheese. (Shrug..?)  Kinda been a bad weekend.. My wife has been dealing with anxiety because of her drug addict, drunkard of a brother. It's had me down and just didn't feel like eating today. I'm full now though. Young Couples group went bowling and out to eat at my fav mexican joint.

B:  Nothing, took FULL advantage of my morning and slept in! L:  Chicken fajitas, beans and rice and I KNOW I exceeded my calorie limit for the day.  It was a late lunch, 4pm, so no dinner tonight.  We took the boys to Galveston for lunch and an IMAX film.  It was my first time at a mexican food restaurant since I started on my journey.  I don't think there is anything I can eat at those places!!!

B: 1 pkg instant oatmeal (strawberry) S: 1/2 of a lg meat stick/ cheese snack L: 2 hot dogs (no bun), 1 c sour cream and onion lays, 5 small bites birthday cake and one small bite of a peppermint patty heart (my niece's bday party) S: 1"x1" pc beef jerky, 1 combo, 1 oz mixed nuts, 1/2 banana D: 1c homemade beef stew, 4 oz grape juice Felt hungry ALL day long and it shows. I snacked all day long. Tomorrow is another day.
