Weigh in Day: A Good One

This morning I lost 2.4 lbs.! So good to see a loss. And a pretty good one too! I was a little disappointed because I weighed .8 lbs. less than I did today for 3 days before gaining yesterday. But, it will come off eventually if I stick to the plan. The good news is that I am at my lowest (202) since August! A little bit more weight lost and I’ll be back down to my lowest ever. I can’t wait to see new numbers on the scale and get down to ONEDERLAND!! It’s possible I could get there next week. I want to get there by Thanksgiving at the latest. I’ve lost a total of 86 lbs.

This week, I had 1 weekly point left over and earned 18 AP’s. The way WW online works is you use your AP’s after using your weekly points. So I didn’t use any AP’s. I worked out 5 days this week too.

For breakfast this morning, I had an egg, chicken sausage, 1/2 cup oatmeal with cinnamon, a glass of milk and a banana for 8 points.

We woke up to a light frosting of snow this morning. I was glad it mostly rained because the wind was SO strong. It would have been blizzard like if it had snowed more. But the forecast today didn’t look good:

Is it really that time of year again? I’m not ready!! Needless to say, I was so happy for my stay at home job today!

This is what I saw when I opened the shades:

And I promptly said, “YUCK!” It was really slushy and icky out there! But it did clear up later in the day and the sun actually came out.

I was happy to have a hot cup of coffee this morning. I added SF Peppermint Mocha creamer for 1 point.

I was actually hungry on my first break, which was a little amazing considering my breakfast. I ate 1/2 oz. dry roasted peanuts and a new WW cheese stick for 4 points.

WW sent me a couple of coupons for free cheese as a thank you. What a great company! I really enjoyed the new Jack Cheese. I wish it were only 1 point like the other cheeses though! This one is 2 points.

For lunch, I ate an egg salad sandwich with lettuce for 5 points.

I also had Progresso Light Savory Vegetable Barley soup for 1 point. It looks like there’s an ice cube in my soup but it’s a reflection of the light! lol

I was really wanting dessert today. I think it was the cold, snowy weather and I was tired to top it off. So instead, I ate an apple with PB for 3 points.

I was really hungry by my last break, so I ate popcorn, which always fills me up. 4 points.

We found out our wash machine has been leaking water and it started to rot out our floor. Ick! We’ve been trying to get a repairman out at no luck, so hubby decided to try to fix it himself! I sure hope it works! He is Mr. Fix it, so I’m confident he will.

For supper, I made sandwich thin pizzas with Canadian bacon and pineapple for 8 points.

I also made a side salad with lettuce, alfalfa, tomatoes and carrots topped with Trader Joe’s Spicy Peanut Vinaigrette for 1 point. I’m trying to add more veggies to my salads. It makes them look pretty, too!

And my dessert of the day was a Fiber One brownie heated in the microwave for 15 seconds. 2 points of heaven. I’ll be sad when these are gone.

I used 5 weekly points today. I was so hungry for some reason! I felt like I ate a lot of protein—who knows. Some days are just hungrier than others.

I feel like I ate more processed food today. Not really intentionally, just trying to use stuff up.

We are officially over halfway to the weekend! Whoohoo!
