Weigh in Day

This morning I weighed in at 212.2, losing 2.2 lbs. this week. I’m happy I had a loss- but I just hate trying to lose weight that I already lost once (since I gained 3.6 lbs. last week). But I was sick all week, went over my points, and barely exercised- so really, I’m lucky I lose 2.2 lbs.! I’m going to be happy about it! Hopefully this week I can lose at least the last 1.4 lbs. of the 3.6 I gained last week. That’s the goal! That puts me at losing 3.4 lbs. in the month of January- just under my 4 lb. goal per month. I am happy with that. It’s progress!

Last night was a COLD, COLD night in this old house. The winds were howling, over 30 mph with snow coming down. This morning we woke up to some BIG drifts!! It’s always exciting to see what Mother Nature came up with after the storm.

I love working at home, and not having to worry about driving to work in the snow- but I do miss my snow days!! Hubby got a snow day. But I was glad I didn’t have to go anywhere when I looked at the road conditions! Yep, all the roads were closed around us!

Last night, one of our neighbors tried to go somewhere. We saw him pull out of his driveway, pull down the alley and get stuck. Turned right back around, drove back into his garage and stayed home for the night.

For breakfast, I had toast with almond butter and sliced bananas along with 1 cup of 1% milk for 8 points.

For my first break, I ate strawberries and blueberries for 0 points of yumminess!

Hubby was outside all morning removing the immense drifts of snow from our driveway and sidewalks. I felt bad for him out in the cold!

I was asked to work from 7-6, which I agreed to, but turned out more people made it into work so I didn’t have to. Fine with me!

For lunch, I had a grilled cheese sandwich dipped in ketchup along with Bean and Bacon soup for 11 points.

And I had a Skinny Cow for dessert for 4 points.

I guess it was a comfort food kind of lunch.

By my last break, I could barely keep my eyes open. I brewed a cup of Dark Chocolate Raspberry coffee for 0 points.

And ate 2 Cuties Clementines for 0 points.

For supper, I had a chicken quesadilla, black beans, FF sour cream, guacamole, salsa and 4 tortilla chips (not pictured) for 10 points.

For dessert, I had FF/SF vanilla pudding with a sliced banana and just a dab of caramel for 2 points.

That puts me at using 1 weekly point today. Not a bad day, but I want to do better tomorrow.

I’ll probably have something for a snack later on when hubby and I watch the latest episode of BL!

We’re half way through the week!!
