WW Update

I was thinking of discontinuing my WW Online membership, but I think I will keep it for a while longer. I'm not very committed to staying within my weekly points lately... vacation really got me off track! I feel like I've made some good trades at home, and I'm more aware of what I'm eating. I might actually do better with the accountability of meetings, but that's also not how I want to use my free time if I have it!

I'm down to 146.2, which means I've lost more than 10 lbs since I started. I was actually surprised I hadn't gained after the past three weeks of eating, so I'll take it! My Wii Fit seems to think my ideal BMI is 22.0, and I'll hit that at 140 lbs. We'll see when I get there. All I know is that I was in my bathing suit all day yesterday, and I was only self-conscious a few times. I'll take that, too.

Egg White Omlette

The other day, I decided to try the whole egg white omlette thing. I just added a little bit of cheese then covered it in salsa. It tasted ok, but it just wasn't enough.

Tonight, though. Holy cow this was good. And a total of 3.5 WW points. With the points I saved, I am going to go have a glass of wine!

• 3 egg whites
• 1/4 cup cheddar cheese
• mushrooms
• spinach
• asparagus roasted in olive oil and balsamic vinegar
• S&P
• salsa

Eating right will definitely be easier if I can figure out the whole cooking thing. =)

151 Pounds

File this under "that can't be right," but I lost almost 5 lbs last week. I must have been really bloated or something last Monday when I weighed in at 156.

The scale at the gym is weighing me heavier, but the Wii Fit is the official scale of record so I'm sticking with it for now. I may have to re-think my position on a home scale, though, since it's such a production to boot the Fit just for a weigh in.

I unofficially started Weight Watchers Online last Wednesday. For the first week, I mainly just wanted to see where I was. What I found was that I can eliminate a lot of WW point by limiting to diet drinks (yuk) and unsweet tea (yum). Just the act of tracking everything that went in my mouth kept me from several grazing instances.

I'm hungry and grumpy, though, so something else needs to be adjusted.

(Didn't get to run today, as I had both boys all day. Planning to go in the a.m.)
