I Survived Thanksgiving!

I survived Thanksgiving. I weighed myself on Friday afterwards and the scale showed three pounds up, but I ate so many salty things; chips, olives, garlic mashed potatoes with lots of salt. So I am sure that it is mostly water weight. I am sure that I will be back down to 164 in no time.

I am hoping and praying that this Friday's weigh in is better.

Friday's Journal

After much thought I have decided to change my weight goal to 130. I feel that for my age, that would be a good weight. If I should happen to drop lower, and reach 126 that is great, but I feel that I may have been motivated by vanity and pride to get "skinny". So I have adjusted it.

Now to today's food journal:

Sub sandwich: 8
Cold Stone Like It sweet cream: 10
licorice: 3
Pizza: 6

I was up at 2:30 this morning so I am pretty tired and won't really share much today.

I did pretty well this week. I lost 2 pounds! Yippee! I don't know if I will be able to make my goal of 158 by Christmas though. I'll keep on trying and trying and trying until I do though.

Monday's Journal

I haven't been journaling here for a few days. I have been feeling unwell, so I just haven't taken the time. I am still plugging away though. I am eating up my flexpoints this week, and not really sticking to the Wendie plan very well. I am dissappointed in myself, but I really am just glad that I am hanging in there at all with how I have been feeling. So I only have 3 flex points left for the week. It's a good thing that they reset on Friday.

Here is my journal today, and you will see I really blew it all today:

biscuits and gravy: 3
cereal: 4.5
hot dog: 7
cocoa: 1
1/2 cup mint chip ice cream: 3.5
1/2 cup hamburger helper (yuck): 3.5
5 chocolate chip cookies: 15

I REALLY need to stay away from cookies. I don't have the strength to let even one pass through my lips, because then I want another and another and another. And then it seems to cause temporary brain damage, because I think it won't mess up my points. So, NO cookies for me!
