Is this week over yet? It’s just dragging on and on! I can’t wait for the weekend!
Last night, I decided to head out for a run. I told myself I would run for 20 minutes and then decide what I wanted to do. I then decided to run for 30 minutes. It started pouring down rain at one point, but after the last 5k, I’m ok with that! 
I get tired after that first mile and it really shows!
Fast forward to this morning.
For breakfast this morning I had a slice of light toast with PB and a bowl of blueberries and strawberries along with a glass of 1% milk for 5 points.
Before signing in to work, I made some green tea for 0 points.
Thank you for all of your advice on attending the WW meetings. I am leaning towards going, but I’m still thinking about it. I don’t want to give up on WW or the Points Plus system yet. I feel like WW is such a good program and it has worked thus far, although it is evident that my weight loss has stalled since switching to the Points Plus system. But maybe a WW leader, with expertise, could help me figure some things out. Another question: the WW meeting I would attend is in the evening. I’m concerned about weighing in after eating all day. How accurate and reliable could that be? Would it be ok if I still weighed in to go through the motions, but if I still tracked my own weight on Wednesday mornings, same time, same scale, not to mention naked, as I always have? I mean there are so many variables to weighing in at NIGHT and in PUBLIC. My clothes will weigh different weights, I might eat different foods. I mean I can’t go all day without eating! How do you handle this? Or am I getting ahead of myself? lol.
On my first break, I ate my favorite yogurt- Andersen Erickson Greek Clementine- 5 points.
It’s a little high in points for yogurt—so I don’t eat it often, but it’s a good healthy treat once in a while!
For lunch, I had whole wheat pasta with spaghetti sauce and leftover roasted veggies for 7 points.
And then I had a mini dark chocolate ice cream bar for 2 points.
I always want something sweet after a meal. I’m thinking of looking for some mints or sucking candy that would be very low calorie but would still satisfy that need for something sweet. I wasn’t HUNGRY—just wanted that something sweet. Any recommendations?
Today was such a rainy day all day, so nothing sounded better than a Chai Latte. I haven’t had one of these forever but they’re so good! They come in packets made by Oregon Chai. 3 points.
For supper, I made quick burritos topped with tomatoes, Fage 0%, salsa and avocado for a total of 8 points.
I am proud of myself because I resisted the tortilla chips tonight. Thanks to the advice of a friend of my sister’s (who has lost a lot of weight), I am TRYING to think like a skinny girl a little more often. 
And actually, this morning I ate a little less for breakfast due to her advice also. She recommended 3-5 points for breakfast. So while all of my choices weren’t skinny girl choices today, I’m making a start at it! Baby steps, right? Thanks for the advice, Angie’s friend, if you’re reading this!
I have 3 more points left for the day. Right now I’m pretty full and bloated feeling (thanks to refried beans in the burritos). The good thing is that I’ve drank 112 oz. of water today, not including the milk, green tea and chai. So if you’re wondering if I drink enough water, there’s your answer. And this is just a typical day for me. You can ask my family, I bet when they imagine me, they see me with my water bottle in hand. lol.
Hubby and I might go for a walk tonight after supper settles a little more. I’m up for it! Although it’s supposed to start thunder storming again soon… Looks like this Saturday is going to be nice—we’re looking forward to a little geocaching on a long bike ride!! Can’t wait!
