Good Choices!!

I am doing so good today! I went to Starbucks and made the good choice and chose a skinny vanilla latte. It filled my yummy coffee craving and didn't break the calorie bank! Then at the mall I had subway for lunch and got a turkey on wheat, no cheese, lots of veggies, very little light mayo and baked lays chips. Doesn't seem like a big deal but every little good choice makes difference!!

whoa...nelly!!!

Talk about a bad day!  Gracie is sick (possibly the stomach bug) and I had an awful day eating wise!!

My daily logs looks like this -
Morning - 1 cup Chex Rice Cereal  = 3 points
Midday- 6 McD's chicken nuggets + small fry = 14 points
Dinner - 7 Wings Stop wings + small fry = 42 points!!!!!! :(

Daily points used - 59 points (I'm allowed 29 daily points and 49 "extra" points to use through out the week)

Ouch!!  That really looks bad!!  OMG I can't believe I ate that many points today!!  I'm really going to have to work that off this weekend!!  I'm just so sick to my stomach and there really is no excuse for it other than I was being lazy and I'm tired from not getting much sleep (but, that's not my excuse, there is none)

The good news is that there is tomorrow and I will do better tomorrow!  I want to see that scale continue to go down!!

Home

I'm sitting at home, on reserve, not a soul in the house. No one to hold me accountable, the food is controlling me, although I haven't given it complete control.  I haven't gotten myself up off the couch to go into the fridge and get that swiss cake roll that is screaming my name, yet...

...and I don't plan on it.  So I turned to the blog.  A place I where can vent my frustrations about my husband even buying those stupid things.  Why?  Why does he insist on buying everything under the sun that I don't want to eat, but it is there, so of course I'm going to be tempted!  It's not his fault that I am fat, I chose to eat what I've eaten in the past and I can choose to either eat that swiss cake roll or I can choose not to eat that swiss cake roll.  Before starting the blog, and this whole life change, I would have said "screw it, no one will know, just eat it!"! I'm trying to remember I'm in control and you hold me accountable.

I feel like I am too early in this process to give in and let myself have a treat like that.  I haven't earned it yet (so I tell myself), maybe in a couple of weeks I will feel like I've earned it.  Maybe if I get up off the couch and do a little cardio, I will feel like I've earned it, but I don't see that happening.

Have I shared that I feel unmotivated to work up a sweat?  Heather and I have met the last 2 Sundays to go on our weekly walks, those are nice and we get uninterrupted chat time, but man I am so exhausted afterwards, that I just want to get home and crash!  In my mind, I know to maximize the benefits of Weight Watchers means that I need to get moving, but I continue to make excuses.  My excuse today is that I'm on reserve, which means I am on call.  I will have two hours to get dresses, out of the house and to the airport.  Not much time to get back home if I am out running!

I'm hoping that after my first weigh-in I will feel more motivated to get my butt of this couch!!  I heard a rumor that a friend of ours *cough, cough Ame* might be thinking about starting another boot-camp.  I did one of hers last year and felt wonderful after it was over, but that was short lived!  This time, I will not let my hard work go to waste!  This is a lifetime commitment...
