I made it one week!
So, today marks one week of my diet journey. I had 3 not so great days, but not awful days. My Panda Express was my shameful moment. However, I feel even more motivated then when I started, which probably is a good thing being that most people are giving up by now.
BTW, rest of points for yesterday:
Breakfast/Lunch - 11 points
Salad: 4
WW Ice Cream Bar: 1
2 WW Cookies: 2
Fruit Snack: 2
Total - 20pts for the day. 1pt Less then my requirement which is AWESOME! Especially with all that exercise!
I went to Ralphs yesterday and stocked up on more stuff. I know if the fridge is full, I'll continue to eat healthy. It's when the fridge is getting bare, and theres nothing in there that I want to eat when I opt for a non-healthy fast food alternative. We got a lot of fruits and veggies and I picked up some slim fasts, and yogurt and a couple of lean cuisines. I'll ease myself back into them as I'm just sooo tired of them.
And always, going to try and drink more water!

The Weekend
So, the weekend is almost done (I still need to figure out dinner) but all in all it wasn't a bad weekend, diet wise.
Yesterday, was Disneyland. I woke up that morning and packed my breakfast and lunch and a couple snacks.
I made my Bagel and Cream Cheese for breakfast, but I knew that wouldn't hold me out until lunch, especially with all the walking we were doing. I decided to make myself one of those Carnation Instant Breakfasts. This will be one of 3 "no-no's" of the day.
When we get to the park, we met up with Josh's (bro-in-law) friend Chris and Daughter Maleah (I don't think thats how its spelled) and they had brought Caleb and Cookie cake, and I couldn't turn it down. I'm glad I didn't. It was SOOO good.
We walked around and went on a few rides until about 1, where we had lunch. We went to the Pizza Port and I saved tables since I had packed my lunch. I packed a PB&J sandwich which isn't the greatest diet food, but I made it with my low cal bread. I'd say 5pts for the sandwich. I also had one of my WW cookies. Somewhere in between lunch and dinner I snacked on my other cookie and my 100 cal cheez-its. For dinner I had a turkey club, also not the greatest. I didn't eat all the bread and instead of Chips, I got apples. I was still hungry after dinner and ended up getting a Churro that I had been craving.
So, the points breakdown:
Bagel & Cream Cheese: 3
Instant Breakfast: 5
Cookie Cake: 5
PB&J: 5
2 WW Cookies: 2
Cheez-its: 2
Turkey Club: 7
Churro: 4
Total: 33
So, I went over by 12pts. I knew I'd go over, but I also knew that I'd be walking around a lot and burning a lot of calories. For Disneyland, I think I did well.
Today has been a great day.
I had toast and jelly for breakfast before we went out to Griffith Park for our hike. We started at the Observatory, and went to what I heard was the highest point in Los Angeles. It was beautiful and a great workout. We stopped at Subway on the way home and I got my Chicken Breast Sandwich with Feta (thank god they still have Feta).
So todays points:
Toast: 2
Subway: 6
Cheez-its: 2
Cookie: 1
11 points used so far.
Tomorrow is my weigh in day. We'll see how it goes. I'm kinda disappointed in my scale because every time i move it to a new place, the scale gives me a different weight. That makes me miss my weight watchers meetings.
Until tomorrow!

Struggles
I didn't do great at lunch yesterday. I went downstairs and went inside Quiznos with the intention of getting Chili and a side salad (3/4pts) but it's so not what I wanted to eat. I ordered a Roast Beef sandwich, and got Salt and Vinegar chips...lets estimate that to 11 points. Then, the Hersheys chocolate I had, 1 more point....then the 2 Sees Candies I found...lets say 6 points. Before dinner, I had already reached my limit of 21 points.
I got home, and like a bad girl I got on the scale. It said 155, meaning I've gained 4lbs in 4 days. No way. Even though the scale was on a flat surface, I moved it to the same spot I weighed myself last time and it went back down. Phew.
But this threw me into a frenzy. In that instant, I hated myself. I wanted to get those lbs off of me as fast as possible, and that wasn't a goal I was going to reach in one night.
I decided to go to the gym and went on the treadmill for 45 minutes and did some light weights to start toning my arms. When I got back to the apartment, I still wasn't satisfied. I had only burned off about 300 calories. In a panic I drove down to Target to see if they had the Wii and Wii Fit, but they did not. Jillian from Biggest Loser has created a Workout DVD with the Wii Fit that I really want to get. So I left Target with a pack of gum and Weight Watchers 1pt Cookies.
I tried to not eat dinner (a big no-no in dieting) for as long as possible. I was determined to starve myself to skinny, but my conscious got the better of me. I heated up my Progesso 0pt Soup and made a 2pt Grilled Cheese, and had a cookie for dessert. I had 3pts for dinner, which was pretty good.
Today is Bagel day at work, but the bagels they have are the normal 6point bagels and the fatty cream cheese. So I brought my own, and ate that along with a few blackberries. They were starting to get a bit squishy, so I put the rest in the freezer, so they'll be a nice little frozen treat later.
I brought the rest of my soup for lunch (0pts) and Edamame (2pts). For snackage, I have 2 cookies and a Cheez-it, although it's not guaranteed I'll eat all that.
So today:
Breakfast: Bagel/Cream Cheese/Blackberries: 3pts
Lunch: Soup/Edamame/Cookie: 3pts
Snack: Cookie/Cheez-it: 3pts
9pts Total, leaving 12 for dinner.
Tomorrow will be a challenge, but hopefully I'll do alright. We're meeting at Jack in the Box before hand, but I'll bring my own breakfast from home, and maybe just get a fruit bowl.
I'll pack my own sandwiches and snacks for lunch, and by then, with all the walking we would have done, I can splurge a bit on dinner there.
As a snack I can get their big pickles there, which I love.
Continuing goal: drink more water
I'll be going back to the gym tonight, as well.

I started my period today (TMI?) and feel incredibly bloated. I postponed it a week so I wouldn't have it while on my trip, and perhaps has been the cause of my incredibly ickyness I've felt the past few days. Yesterday I got an awful headache and started burning up. I was also craving something hearty. Not veggies, not soup, not anything healthy and had Josh stop at Panda to fulfill my craving. Sue me.
I don't have any food to write about today. I lost track of time while getting ready and didn't have time to pack my lunch, so I'll have to go and get something. What? Who knows. I might actually just get a Robeks as I'm less hungry and more thirsty. We shall see.
I had a Weight Watchers Muffin for Breakfast. 3pts.
I think we're going to get a Wii this weekend, so I can begin working out again. I know it won't be much, but it's something. I managed to lose 30lbs in 5 months without working out...so I'm not gonna focus too much on it again. I'll do it to get in shape and to tone, and to simply have fun.
And hikes on Sundays! Woo.
