WOW!

Here it is, two o'clock in the morining and I just had the revelation that I did no posting today. Yikes! I don't really even remember what all I ate! I do know I had one piece of birthday cake at Makaley's party tonight and that Mattie May did not go to sleep until 12:30! Maybe I can go get a little sleep and remember what I ate and get the points figured. It was so hectic at work today, I didn't even think about food! (I really can't believe I just said that!)

Yes, It Was Worth Every Point

I fixed cinnamon rolls this morning. OH, I know I should have had the egg I have been wanting all week, but it was so good and warm too. It was a cool morning for us, in the low 50's, so I turned on the oven to take the chill out of the house. I just can't stand to turn on the oven and not have anything in it, so I cooked Mattie May's cinnamon rolls she put in her little cart at the grocery store last week.

Even though I shouldn't have had it, it was worth all 6 points I had to use to eat it!

Now, I just have to remember portion control and not go home and eat the rest of them before anyone gets home!!!!

SELF CONTROL!

Well Poo!

This wasn't the best of days, but not just terrible until tonight. We both had salad, which was very good, for supper. When we got home from Church, I got into the Frito's! Well, not a good way to end the day, but at least it wasn't a whole roll of frozen cookie dough!


*UPDATE*
Well I just added all my food and even with the Frito's that I should not have had, I was within my daily points. So Yeah! That is a small victory that I am counting!

Trudging along

I haven't posted today and that makes me happy and sad at the same time.

Happy because I haven't felt the need to type instead of eat (except for the cake, more on that in a minute). I have been drinking my water. I still didn't get my egg for breakfast but I will plan on it again in the morning. Mornings are just hectic for me and I can't get it together.

Sad because I have had a rough morning and didn't get my thoughts down. I think if I get these thoughts down, I can track what triggers me to eat when I shouldn't

For breakfast I had another grab and go bar. Today is Mr. Tittle's birthday and I did have a small piece of cake. Lunch was the leftover stew from last night (just as good!) with a Diet Coke.

I don't know what we will be having for supper. Manna and More is serving sloppy Joe's and that didn't sound good to Katie or me. Mattie May was asking for EIEIO's last night, so maybe that is what we will have tonight.

The Day is Done!

Yeah, I have made it to the end! I did have to have a small snack before supper (1 oz of cheese & 1/2bag of 100 Calorie Pecan Sandies) but that wasn't bad.

Katie fixed supper. I have told that girl she has got to learn to fix something other than McDonald's and Taco Bueno. She did a great job. Beef Stew. Not from scratch, but one of those dump the can things. But, hey, I didn't have to lift a finger! Thanks Katie.

Even though it it threw me into my weekly points, we added a few Frito's into it for some crunch. I had (most) all of my water and only two Diet Cokes. I had gotten really bad about only drinking DC.

So no to sleep so I can start fresh in the morning. If my day goes as well tomorrow as it did today, it will be another victorious day.

God Bless

Making it!

It is after 3 and I have made it without a snack. I did, however, have a Diet Coke. I am getting a headcake (as per Mattie May) and I am actually hungry. After I finish my DC, I will drink more water. That should help with the hunger pains. Just not sure what to do about the headcake. I did take some Excedrin hoping that will help so we will see.

Past Lunch

Yeah, I made it to lunch with no snack! I had my water (3 cups) and a small lunch (2 wieners & 2 oz of cheese). Not much and I will probably add some carbs here in just a minute. But so far so good. My biggest hurdle is making it to lunch without a snack.

OK, well, I broke down and added some Progresso soup to my lunch meal (2 points). I was still a little hungry. I thought this would be better than some chips of chocolate!

Now, I have to make it to supper without a snack. Thank goodness we try to eat around 6!

Keeping Track

I am keeping track of my points on WW's web site, but I decided I MUST make myself accountable for everything I eat. There will be some short post and I apologize for that. But after all, I am keeping this blog for me!

I have already had 1 of my waters this morning and working on the next. I did not get my egg I had hoped for for breakfast. I had to opt for a grab and go breakfast bar. Two points. I am starting to want something to eat, but I know I can wait for lunch. I HAVE THE POWER TO WAIT FOR LUNCH.

The Story of My Life!

It seems that the consistent story of my adult life has been, I have got to get this weight off! So here I am again!

First of all, thanks to all of you that have continued to check in on me and leave sweet, encouraging remarks. Please keep it up! I always need the support.

I am going to try this again. I am going to try to count those points starting in the morning! I CAN DO THIS! I WILL DO THIS!

I want to do it for Frank, Katie and Mattie May. But I have to do it for me, for my body. I know I am killing myself with all this extra weight. Just walking in the door tonight, my knee almost gave way. Now there is this huge bump and every time I take a step, there is pain. My heart does not need all this extra fat around it. I want to walk up the stairs at work without getting winded.

And on top of everything else, my mom gave me a real pretty suit last Christmas that I would really like to be able to wear this fall!

So keep checking on me and giving me support. But most importantly, pray for me! I will be praying for me and all of you facing this same giant.
