Of course the weekends are always the worst for me.  I either miss breakfast and then have lunch - only to be totally ravenous by supper and verge on the edge of blowing it for the day in points.  I have really, really tried today not to go beyond my points.

This morning - for some reason I decided to try one of the recipes in the latest Weight Watchers magazine I found that sounded good, and I had the ingredients in the house, so I didn’t have to go shopping.  Ah, lazy weekends.  So I made a batch of Peanut Butter Bars that are only 4 points each.  Pretty darn good if I do say so myself - it only takes a small portion to fill me up.  Give me that ah… sugar… and then I’m off.  I really wasn’t hungry until supper.  Which was totally awesome

I was wondering - if I set up a newsletter… maybe once a month or something like that - where I would come up with recipes and stuff… would you subscribe?

I’m not writing what I’ve been eating on the site.  It isn’t that I don’t want to be accountable for what I’m doing - I just think it really ISN’T super exciting… and perhaps somewhat boring know that I had toast for lunch and a salmon steak for supper… whoo hoo.  So I’ve decided to stop posting it all here.

I am however writing every darn thing I’m eating into my QuikTrak(tm) Weight Watchers book.  Oh lord, what an eye opener that’s been.  I’ve been SO FREAKIN’ good about it - and really holding off from eating what I’d love… to realizing that eating a doughnut will not help me at all for my weight loss.  I’ll end up kicking myself in the ass later for being so dumb.  That sort of thing.

So I’m just resigned to not do that to myself.  To feel good about the fact that I’m saying “No, Thanks”… or going into the avoid mode to stay away from all things that would totally not make my diet go well.

Today I picked up a Weight Watchers magazine and I’m going to sit down this weekend and pick out some recipes to try.  I’ve got quite a few books - the food looks great… but I’m just to lazy to write up a list and go get the food to make this stuff.  So this weekend is when I pick some recipes to try and actually - TRY to get the shopping done and make something “different”.  Maybe I’ll try for once a week for something “different”.  Then it’s not such a chore.

… and yes, I’m lazy

I love naked weigh ins … LOL.  I’m down 4.2 pounds this week.  I’m so freakin  happy about that - you have no idea!  I’ve also figured that  my naked weigh in is about 2 pounds less than what happens at the Weight Watchers weigh in.  So I have something to work on there.

Today was my first day using my weight watchers books/notes/etc to chart how I’m doing - eeeeek.  Is all I have to say.  Even though I did a week on my own… today was really hard.  The first “Officially paying for it” Weight Watchers charting.  Maybe it’s PMS.  But I was just HUNGRY all day long.  I tried drinking all my water - and then some to try to kill the craving.  But by supper time I was just too hungry and ended up eating 2 homemade ex-lean hamburgers.  They tasted so good - I did them on the grill, so there was no fat to it - or greasiness.  To me they tasted yummy… but I could have had 5 more.  Seriously.  I was that hungry.  So instead of having fries with it - I stuck to my guns and had a spinach salad with mushrooms and craisins with 2 tbsp of low fat dressing.  Yeah - It could have been a lot worse.

I was given a chocolate today - and then I gave it away to another co-worker who loves chocolate.  But I was happy I didn’t cave and eat it.  It was one of my favs too - a chocolate covered cherry.

*sigh*  I really hope its just PMS.  Because I don’t know how much more of the cravings I can take without caving in!
