Dia Ocho

Breakfast - Egg McMuffin. Lunch - Leftover General Tso, vegies and rice. Dinner - hamburger, oven fries, broccoli, and corn.

----------------------------------------

Total points for the day - 30!!! Got all my vegies and drank all my water! I even ate both of my healthy oils!

Seven Days makes One Week

Breakfast - Oatmeal and milk. Lunch - Leftover General Tso's & rice. Dinner - Cheeseburger Happy Meal. I only ate 1/2 the fries and got a toy!

__ Snacks - Dilly Bar & Skinny Cow

Total points for day - 29. Not a good day though. I didn't eat any fruit and only a tiny bit of vegies. I did not get all my water drank, didn't get both of my milks, only 1 of my healthy oils and no exercise. I did take my vitamin.

When I started this blog, the weigher at my meeting had challenged me to journal for 3 days. Well, I did that and now have made it a full week. The next three day challenge (set forth by me) is to eat 5 fruit/vegie servings and drink 6-8 glasses of water per day. I'll work on the others next week. Really, I will!!

Day Six (I need new titles - these suck)

Breakfast - Special K Red Berries, toast with s/f jelly. Lunch - My son and I went to Taco Bell, I had two softshells - didn't want to explain this blog, he already thinks I'm nuts - so not pictured. Dinner - General Tso's Chicken - WW variety. Recipe here. Note that I have added half a bag of stir fry vegies.

Snacks - Apple with ff/sf caramel sauce and a WW chocolate smoothie with banana.

Total points for the day - 31.5

Day Five

Breakfast - Special K with Red Berries (yes, I really like it). Lunch - (not pictured) Movie theatre popcorn with NO butter. Dinner - Salmon, roasted potatoes, onions & carrots, and salad with ranch.

Snack - Skinny cow chocolate ice cream sandwich.

Points for the day - 30.5. The movie - Prince Caspian - is good. I recommend it.

Day Four - Saturday!!!

Breakfast - Special K Red Berries with banana. Lunch - turkey sausage, sauerkraut and yes that is homemade bread. Dinner - T-bone steak, hash browns and broccoli.

Snack - Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich.

Total points for the day 25.5, too low. I was anticipating the steak to be more points. But it was tasty!!!

Weigh In Day!

Saturday is the day I go to Weight Watcher meetings. I have to confess that I re-joined WW way back in April, but have had a really tough time getting started. I'd list the excuses, but we've all heard them before.

So, after 3 days of buckling down, journaling, eating almost right....I lost 1 pound. It's a start.

Day Three - Viva Mexico?

Breakfast - McDonald's Breakfast Burrito. Lunch - Taco John's tacos. Dinner - Taco Salad at home.

----------------------------------------

Snacks - Cherry Dilly Bar - got so excited I forgot to take a picture! And a WW smoothie with banana.

Not enough fruits and vegies for the day!!! That happens when I eat out too much! Points for the day - 32.5

What is This All About?

I'm trying to lose weight. I'm not having good luck. Maybe if I really "watch" what I eat, I'll do better.

Stop by to see what I eat. And hopefully, what I lose.
