I made this Weight Watchers recipe today and it was very tasty and
only 5 points per serving!

So long Little Debbie! Hello flavor!

This past Saturday was my husband’s Birthday! So he got to choose where we would eat at. He really wanted Chinese food. We talked about where we should go. Hands down we decided buffets were definitely out of the question. So we picked a place that had great lunch prices and smaller portions. I was able to stay within my daily points. That was a great choice. Later in the day, a very bad choice was made. We were driving up to Buford about 45 minutes away to have dinner with my brother and his family. I knew we needed to run an errand for my mom, I just not realize how long it would be. I forgot to pack a snackL VERY BAD IDEA!!!! I was getting very moody and getting a headache. So to keep me from going MAD we spied a Sonic a wee ways away. We drove up and ordered two diet cokes and two bananas! They guy said that was the strangest order that he had ever heard. Then he proceeded to make sure we did not really want something else. HAHAHAHA Priceless moment! So the restaurant was busy and we could not get in till 8pm. I thought I was going to scream but I didn’t, and I was not a happy person. After what seemed like forever we got there and were seated. Out the window I see my arch nemesis, LITTLE CAESARS… oh how I was tempted(this crazy lady loves some crazy bread). Instead, for an appetizer I had an ear of corn with no butter, yummy! I was much happier after that. Lesson learned NEVER leave home without snacks and a bottle of water.

Sunday came and we had to make a trip to Thomaston, GA to visit Phillip’s dad. He always wants to go to this old nasty buffet place. I really tried to make healthy choices but everything was soaked in butter! Then his dad kept asking if that was all we were going to eat? And why were we not eating desert? UGH!

So on this trip Thomaston; I planned to have a Little Debbie snack cake. I planned my points and had been dreaming of this wonderful tasty treat for weeks. I remember when I could down (eat) an entire box and not think twice about it. I loved them and had to have them. I would pass a General Dollar store and always comment I know they have Little Debbie in there! Somehow my car would always drive there. And I swear those buggers would just jump in! So, I was in for a big NASTY surprise it tasted like wax!!! I was shocked, I was betrayed, and I had been dumped by Little Debbie herself! Never again, never again! It was truly a waste of my extra Weight Watchers points. They are cheap, easy and taste like wax. I deserve much tastier food. So here’s to flavor from now own!

My bike!

Ok so with a weight loss of ZERO this past week it took a lot not to just give up! The last two weigh ins have really sucked. First it was a gain of half a pound then nothing. I am keeping track of my Weight Watchers points and exercising more than I have in a very long time. This Thursday will be my 15^th week going to Weight Watchers! I was in tears during the morning meeting and all I could think about was “why is this happening”. So I had to go the night meeting so I could understand the lesson for this week. I began to think back of all the other times I had tried to lose weight. It seems that when I get to this point it is like my body starts to freak out and start holding on to everything I eat. So many times before I would just stop and then gain back what I lost plus a few more pounds. So I am not going to stop. My group leader said I should try to lower my points by 3 this week and see what happens.

I have been looking for a bicycle that I could fit on and ride safely and cost less than 700 bucks. I found one Friday!!!!!!!! It is basic black and not very pretty but I felt safe on it and the guy at the store was very sweet. It still was pretty expensive and we will be eating from our food storage this week but it was so worth it. I was starting to get bored at the gym and needed this for my sanity. We then got Phil’s bike out of storage. So we rode a little on Sat. and rode a little further today. I remember as a child riding my bike for hours and loving it!!! I love my bike now it even has a basket! Where are we storing our bikes? Right on the porch so we see them every day! Not in the basement. I am sure I will be able to ride a little further tomorrow and then back to the gym on Wednesday for boot camp.

Current length of my hair!

What joy a new day brings!

I am so happy yesterday is over. I am also glad Weight Watchers gives a few bonus points to use for nights like last night.

Woke up this morning and went to the Y. Boot Camp, my arms are killing me, in a good way. Everyone in that class is so nice and they don't care how fat I am. They are supporting me for trying. I started the day strong and am ending it strong. Thankful for all the support from family and friends when I was having a bad day yesterday.

So, as I end today I am thankful for my blessings. I go weigh in tomorrow with my head held high. I used my extra points but I was not over for this week:) And I moved more this week than ever before.

Update: I stayed the same at this weeks weigh in! Here's to a better week!

Failed today:(

So I rushed home to make my meeting at 8pm only to find it was
canceled tonight:( So then on the way home all I could think about was
"Folk's" peach muffins. I did track my points for each one I ate!
Total muffins 6 equals 23 weight watchers points, ugh not smart! Why
do they not sell them by ones????

After thought, it was so not worth my extra weekly points;( and I best
be getting my fat butt up and to the gym in the morning!!!!

So why is it so hard for me? I had a plan but I did not have a back up plan:( Why could I not just eat one muffin? Why could I not just stop? I do not know. I am very disappointed in myself but I am sure this will not be my only failure in this journey. I WILL keep trying. Crying over eating muffins? Really what is wrong with me?

Have you tried these?

So today I had a coupon for these! So I tried them. They tasted so
yummy! 22 chips for 3 Weight Watcher points;) I love salt and vinegar
and these were such a rewarding find.
