Monday Weigh-In Report

Well.......once again,........I am happy to report that the scale was VERY nice to me yesterday. I lost 2.8 POUNDS!!!! That is a total of 10 POUNDS IN TWO WEEKS!!!! Okay, so I am LOVIN' this new plan so far!! How can I not?! I feel that I have more freedom on this plan, simply because I don't have to count the points of ANY of my fruit and MOST of my veggies. So, in the end, for me, I have more points to play with in a day. I am TRYING very hard to stay away from the bad carbs (higher point foods) and trying really hard to stick with the "good" foods of proteins, fruits and veggies, and whole grains. When I am "wanting" something sweet I grab a WW Red Velvet bar and that satisfies my sweet tooth and boy, if you have seen those bars they are not very big, but let me tell you I can make one of those babies last. :) Then, I am good to go.

I have had a hard time getting all of my activity in, but I'm trying. Even if I don't feel like "running," I will just walk on the treadmill. I figure walking is better than NO activity at all. Right?

I have been making chicken soup on Sunday, so I can have something easy for lunch through the week, but I didn't make any yesterday, so I better get to figuring something out here pretty soon. Anyway, I just boil my chicken for "a while," thenk I add a whole bunch of baby carrots, some celery, and whatever veggies I have. Then, this might sound a little gross, but I add a little milk so it "looks" a little creamy. I know, it's mental, but it works for me. Then, there you have it. That is it. I, of course, add garlic salt (my fave) and whatever spices I feel like that day.

Okay, so I am "a little" worried about this week, because lately when I do good, I do good for the first two weeks and then "fall off the wagon" on the third week. I am going to try really hard this week. I am hoping that since I am aware of this that things will be okay. I mean I've lost 10 pounds so far, why would I want to mess that up, right? I EVEN feel better, both physically and mentally. Boy, it sure really does make a difference with what we put in our bodies.

Anyway, here's to all of us having a good week this week.........
