So Far....So Good

Today begins Day 4 of my weight loss trek. I guess I was lucky to find that the week I decided to start was the same week that Meijer had the WW Smart Ones (meals and desserts) on sale - 6 for $11. I've stopped there every morning this week and bought my limit. The freezer at home is full as is the freezer at work. Everything I've tried has been delicious, but my favorite is the Key Lime Pie, (2 in a package) - 4 points each.

One of those has been my afternoon snack on several occasions this week. Breakfast most mornings is either a small bowl of Cheerios or Total with 2% milk ('cause I just can't handle skim milk) and Splenda. I drink 2-3 glasses of water during my morning at work, which helps curb the hunger. For lunch, I've been having a WW meal and 2 slices of whole wheat (reduced calorie) bread - 1 point and Parkay (Fat Free) Spray Margarine - 0 points! The bread is a nice filler.

After lunch, it's another couple of glasses of water along with an afternoon snack - sometimes an apple (1 point) or if I REALLY want a treat, I go for the Key Lime Pie. I've also discovered the Skinny Cow ice cream treats.

The chocolate/peanut butter ice cream sandwiches are 2 points on the WW scale. To be honest, when I get home from work I'm not in a panic to find something to eat. I've been eating a 2nd WW meal and another glass of water and I've found myself satisfied for the evening. With my age and beginning weight, I'm allowed 21 points per day. I find myself having a couple of points left over each day. I also get 35 BONUS points to use per week. I'm trying to save those just in case I'm tempted over the weekend. We have two graduation parties and a wedding in the next four weeks, so I know I'll need to rely on some of those bonus points then. The one thing I haven't accomplished this week is exercise. With Kelli's softball schedule, I've been gone every evening this week. Tonight and tomorrow night - no excuses!!! I'm heading out with my IPod and headphones for a good two miles. The real test will come over the weekend - sitting through another softball tournament and dealing with concession stands. BUT, I'm on a mission now and NOTHING will stop me!!!
