Weigh In Day

I weighed in this morning at 222.8. Exactly the same as last week. I did gain .8 from yesterday’s weight, from the pizza last night. But, it’s just a number and I’m sure I’ll lose weight tomorrow morning. It makes me wonder what I would have lost if I had eaten my usual grilled chicken/salmon meal that I usually have the night before WI. If anything at all? You just never know! I’m ready to lose this weight though!

I woke up about midnight last night and I was so sick that I thought I had the flu. It passed though, but my body is just not used to eating foods like oily pizza anymore! Another reason not to eat that way!

For breakfast, I had 1 cup of oatmeal with a sliced banana and a 1 cup of 1% milk for 6 points.

After how I felt last night, I decided no coffee this morning again. Time to drink up on STRAIGHT water. Water always makes me feel so much better. I rarely get heart burn or sick to my stomach- and I REALLY don’t want it to happen again any time soon!

But how do you deal with dinner events planned with people you wouldn’t feel comfortable saying, “No, I don’t think I’ll eat pizza- just salad tonight,” or “No dessert for me,”  or “How about cutting me HALF of that piece of dessert.” I would feel comfortable saying this around some people but not others. How do you deal with moments like this?

For my first break, I had 1/2 cup of grapes along with a serving of cheese curds for 3.5 points.

About 10:00 the internet went down. That is so frustrating! I waited for about 1/2 an hour and it never came back up so I had to head into the office.

Before I left, I made a quick sandwich with a sandwich thin, oven roasted turkey breast and Swiss cheese- melted in the microwave for 3.5 points.

I also had an Athenos Greek Strawberry yogurt for 2 points.

By the time I got to work, I only had to work for about 40 minutes and it was time for my lunch break. This was a battle of will power for me. I was hungry because my lunch wasn’t that great, it was really early and I was a little stressed from everything. I headed over to the gas station because I REALLY needed a coffee by this time. I had a coffee with a little vanilla creamer for .5 point.

I searched the gas station for something remotely healthy and I came up with this for 4 points.

I did have time to grab a medium banana before I left the house, so I ate that also for 1.5 points.

Work went quickly. It was fun to talk to my coworkers face to face. I guess it’s not all bad when I have to go in, but I hate having to get dressed in something other than my yoga pants. ;)

When I got home, the internet was back up (hard telling how long it was down), but my email wasn’t working. They are not connected in anyway. I guess it was the day for technical problems- so annoying!

For supper, I had an egg sandwich made with a sandwich thin, turkey, laughing cow cheese and an egg. I also had an apple and PB, all for a total of 8 points. This was not what I had planned but the plans got thrown out the window when I had to go into work!

For dessert, I had a 1/2 cup of light vanilla yogurt with 1/2 cup of strawberries for 1.5 points.

Hubby surprised me with a gift for our anniversary early! he brought me this beautiful plant:

It’s so bright and cheerful! I am going to put this in my office to cheer me up during the days!

And some truffles from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. I had to eat one, I overestimated the points as 4.

Truffles are my absolute favorite treat! I love them! This one was delicious too!

That’s all that I’ll be eating tonight! I am going to end this post early. Hubby and I might go running tonight, but we will be getting home late- so not sure about that! If not, we’ll be running another 5k tomorrow night for our anniversary to meet our 25 mile goal! ;)
