Monday's Journal

Today I had only 24 points on the Wendie plan and I didn't feel as hungry. I used them all and earned 2 activity points doing flexibility on Yourself Fitness. Man is that hard, so much of it involves balance, and I really lack that, lol! I am thinking of penciling in the next week's points schedule onto my journal using the next lower point level. I want to do this in faith that I will be down to 174 which would start me in the next level.

Some things are just temptations for me. Such as tortilla chips. When the children get the bag out and start to munch, it is so hard to not start munching right along with them. I have to remind myself that I am dieting, I seem to forget. Sometimes I get discouraged when I realize the I will be counting for the rest of my life. I know that if I stop I will eat to much by just not being aware of how much I am eating, sigh. Amy was sharing how to make the Weight Watchers bracelets for points tracking, and I just might do that for long term once I lose all the weight and am just maintaining. I actually think maintaining will be harder than losing. It will be hard to stay motivated.

Here is my food journal for yesterday:
hard-boiled egg: 2
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt: 1.5
hot cocoa: 2.5
celery w/peanut butter: 1
1 cup cheddar potato soup: 6
1-1/2 muffins: 5
diet sunkist: 0
1 cup spaghetti O's: 3
tortilla chips: 3

This totaled 24 points. I earned 2 activity points, but didn't use them.
