Expectations?

Posted by: velveteen In: Numbers| Postive Mental Attitude| Thoughts

I realize it’s not the best thing in the world to jump the gun, to expect anything, or to assume that everything is going the way you would like it to.
However…
After another full week on my at-home CD I looked at my numbers and, while I was over by 4 points last week, (4 points! [...]

Week 2 update and an SP article

Posted by: velveteen In: General| NSV| Thoughts

This week not as smooth as last week, but it’s still ok. My points were on the higher side yesterday, as I had pasta for dinner with R’s homemade sauce and definitely had several points worth of cheese. I was 4 points over for the day, but it could be a wee bit more as [...]

Hungry Day Today

Posted by: velveteen In: Challenges| General| Thoughts

I planned, but somehow things have gone a bit off plan.
For example, I was going to buy a NF Yoghurt drink at the station when I arrived there this morning, but my Love gave me a ride instead, so I never made it to the store.  That means my breakfast of a philly light with [...]

Sunday

Well, Saturday, too
 What an excellent day!  I’m on a roll!  20 points in total, included a lunch out, a WW recipe for dinner that I tweaked (I’m sorry, but I can not live with only one clove of garlic in a recipe), even had a few Vodka & Cassis Light which I had [...]

Yay for new sports clothes!

Posted by: velveteen In: Thoughts| clothes

I decided this morning I was going to get some proper gym clothes.  Nothing too fancy, just something that would make me at least feel fairly good about myself (besides the fact that I was going to the gym).  Before my shopping trip I had an old too-big (it was always too big;  I ordered [...]

So far, so good.  Seriously.  I would much rather get this weight off than go off on a binge.  I’m just not going to do it.
My points so far this week::
Monday 23
Tuesday 19.5
Wednesday 20.5
Thursday 21 (I earned 2 bonus points for walking 40 min)
Friday 21
Goal points each day:: 21
Seriously! I haven’t had a WW week [...]

It’s my 13 year anniversary

Posted by: velveteen In: Tracking

I’ve been in this country for 13 years today.  Boy, that was never my intention!  LOL!
Here’s my plan.  I have a Coffee Master class today but I don’t think there will be any food pairings at all.  That’s not the sort of class it is today anyway, luckily.  I’ve worked out my plan for today [...]

All Planned Up and Ready to Go!

Posted by: velveteen In: Numbers| Tracking

5 points to play around with today :)  The rest is planned and prepared.  The potatoes are like hash browns with some veggies thrown in for good measure.  Just potatoes, two egg whites, a bit of olive oil, mushroom, onion, spinach and some spices.
I’m tired today so I’m glad I planned.  It’s days like this [...]
