POINTS FOR THE DAY: 31/24 (It was a guess today)
VITAMINS: No
EXERCISE: Not really

I’m not sure if it was because I just wasn’t in a very good mood… I don’t know if it was the hormones. I did well again during the day. But we went out for supper. Chinese Food. Which is just as deadly as Pizza for me. I did only have 1 plate. I’m able to do that now… which is a small victory But then I go to the dessert/salad bar. Nanaimo bar and a small slice of lemon merange pie later (oops.. my bad). But I did have pineapple, melon, and watermelon too. Fruit - and that’s a change too.

I just found the Chinese food to be so greasy and heavy last night. So I didn’t really finish what I had heaped on my plate. Blech. But that’s ok… I went a head and ate too much too late at night.

2 apple oatmeal muffins (2pt each), some chocolate chips and marshmallows (I was craving sweet). Now it wasn’t totally horrible. No chocolate bars and bags of chips - but it was eating too late at night. I wasn’t in the best of moods… I was sort of bored. I really did analyze why I was doing it… while I was doing it. It didn’t stop me… but I wondered why I felt like eating. It was weird. I don’t even have an answer for it.

>> on another note. I really feel like I need to be doing more - exercise wise. I’ve been prattling on here about getting a recumbent bike, or trying my luck at running. But haven’t done either. I was talking with some co-workers at lunch a couple of days ago and one of them is going to the gym EARLY in the morning on Wednesdays and Saturdays. She has something else on the go on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the morning before work. I guess I could give something like that a whirl. But I’m having some financial issues right now… so I’m not sure if even the cheap $20 a month gym membership is really in my reach. I also would have to get new runners too… since I don’t have a pair. So it’s money… and I’m broke… so I might still do the early morning thing - but go for a walk instead. Maybe this can be my new week’s resolution. One week. Early morning walks. It would be nice… but it means getting up early. Can I do it? I’m sure I can. I would have to start going to bed early, and being more organized!

I could do it.

So Monday I will

POINTS FOR THE DAY: 38/24
VITAMINS: No
EXERCISE: None

Today I’m really going to try to stick to my 24 points for the day. I usually do really well all day and then late afternoon / suppertime I end up doing a “binge” and going over my points. So today I’m going to do my best to stick to the 24 points.

I’m figuring this is part of my problem this week - besides feeling bloated and achy… is the fact that I’m not sticking to my points. Meaning that my weight loss is going to be even slower.

We’ll see how it goes. Wish me luck!

POINTS FOR THE DAY: 33/24
VITAMINS: No
EXERCISE: 20 minute walk

You know how it goes… that lovely monthly visitor. Cramps, cramps, cramps… BAD MOOD. But at least I know one reason why I went up today. Also the fact that I went to Quiznos yesterday… and had a 9″ Chicken Carbonara didn’t help. After everything I consumed yesterday afternoon, I was left with 4 points for supper. So I had a cup of Chicken and White Bean Chili and a herb biscuit. It filled me up and I didn’t go way over my points… but I threw in a glass of milk and an apple oat muffin (that was only 2 points!) but I ate it late last night… not to say that was what put me over 2 pounds.

I’m hoping that it’s just body fluctuations because of this monthly occurance.

Today’s a new day… wish me luck!
