Day 120 (Tuesday 3/3)

I woke up in a panic this morning. I couldn't remember what time my dentist appointment was. Was it 7:30....8:00.....8:30....for the life of me I couldn't remember and didn't want to get there too early and then have to sit and wait (dentist is 25 minutes away). With a wet head at 7am I called and they said I was at 8am. Relief! Didn't have to go with a wet head!!<br /><br /><br /><div><div><div><div></div><div>I got to eat breakfast with DH this morning. It was so nice!!! I had <strong>oatmeal</strong> and an<strong> english muffin w/cream cheese</strong> for <strong>4 points</strong>. And had to jet off to the dentist.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309170164089412930" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6x0LIvkPX2WwybhNZB5gmZVJ7B9eZzaElBaOZ3FpDpOps2hOr2t8EibwF3EcQvFxljMmCspdCwFg_iB-tLnnD86-BOxi9lopCvANbDcKvly9Kdwb_WPoVNAVef4hWGBXz7rZDWyROy3jx/s320/DSC01977.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center;" /></div><div></div><div> </div><div>But man, the dentist is no fun! I had two fillings. Ouch! Better to get them taken care of though I guess. I have to go back a few more times for more fillings. I didn't have ANY cavities until I was 19 and now I'm getting TONS. No fair!<br /><br /></div><div> </div><div> </div><div></div><div>I didn't get to work till about 10am and just felt really sluggish. It almost felt like the whole left side of my face was numb...like I had a droopey eye. And then the numbness started to ware off and boy is that side of my mouth SORE!!<br /><br /></div><div> </div><div> </div><div></div><div>Around noon I decided to have my regular morning snack of a <strong>ww yog</strong>urt with <strong>1/4c grape nuts for 2 points</strong>...but I let the grape nuts sit in the yogurt longer than normal so they could soft to not bother my teeth.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309170152406563426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOU_hqTKQYhVuktTEslsjWaVEWd-6D0pyRhnREWWS8rOJhyphenhyphenAymrsvAxfWkfxFUnZlGqCKokBZRu0UVcFkE-cJK4KcvqjqDWaVjlhbrmUNX0tqREbkHSlt4HB2HZFRBCSXzJRBHTgoZUhEr/s320/DSC01978.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center;" /></div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>I always have a light lunch on Tuesdays since I weigh in at 5pm. I had a <strong>sliced cucumber with ff ranch, ham & turkey slices, and 1 slice of ff</strong> <strong>cheese</strong> for <strong>3 points</strong>.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309169648575410786" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm1PjVqZReXUq-1hcB6V7GhMb-u6FXTYukxam2x41GAStJtFzr1iPsh0JLpbCzf7CbuZHubBJDM5AUgJcyqcsNI6udKbSA-Lxdm0Nkg9FY3AmEQDDW8LKMzoTHdfCBYpngC3r2bczwhs0Y/s320/DSC01979.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center;" /></div><div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309169645988511922" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFOC_9ebqAgzTzoemDk_DIwp-CafMCTD0WrSef_-KvBvBqLclM9A0s2gpStGaGi9HDGQk7aKzDrMqJbVm0eC09M7LK21Io4iaS7ZC4XF80CfUObQPY8BYuzfhJiQ2miuPrmNAdYcqPfwxw/s320/DSC01980.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center;" /></div><div> </div><div> </div><div><br />After I entered my lunch in my food diary spreadsheet I looked over my weight tracking spreadsheet and added up how much I lost each month, just 'cause I was curious: </div><div> </div><div><br />November: -12.5 lbs</div><div>December: -11 lbs</div><div>January: -9.5 lbs</div><div>February: -5 lbs </div><div> </div><div><br />What a dramatic change I had in February!! Now I know I can contribute that to not working out as much (ie sleeping in) and not eating on plan on a LOT of days in February. Makes me sad to see that measly little 5lbs!<br /><br /></div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>But I've come to the conclusion I'm not going to let it get me down. I am going to push forward and try to have an AWESOME month of March!!<br /><br /></div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Speaking of March...here's a recap of February goals!<br /><br /></div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">February Goals</span> </div><div> </div><div><br />1. Try 2 new WW friendly recipes - DONE!! I tried chicken teriyaki & sweet potato fries<br />2. Eat less in the evenings - I think this is going to be a constant goal for me...but I did ok in Feb.<br />3. Workout 6days/week - total I worked out 16/28 days in February - NEED to do better in March!<br />4. 161lbs by 2/28/09 - didn't hit this goal...missed by 3lbs.<br /><br /></div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>And here are my <span style="font-weight: bold;">March goals</span>: </div><div> </div><div><br />1. No Cool Whip for Lent<br />2. Eat smart/sensible while on vacation 3/18-3/25<br />3. Workout 6 days/week<br />4. 158 lbs by 3/31/09<br /><br /></div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>WI tonight was pretty much expected....gain of .2 lbs. Not too bad though for all that salt I ate over the past two days!! The meeting was great though and got me totally pumped for the week. We even got a free sample of a <strong>mint cookie crisp mini bar</strong> for <strong>1 point</strong>.<br /></div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309169641250412498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizrA3AvngtSIsyE4NGoOFbNXkhtmhxsU4Bv3qkHBc12m0zkBEIvKnX6tptDJj8okCwntRo5YEN-wiCpLdQFtdaxXT9-tU3TUBPlFN7x4NHzikPHznILZAv4si8lYC18vyRSk1Ls1u_4PkZ/s320/DSC01981.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center;" /></div><div></div><div><br />When I got home I heated up some leftover <strong>chili</strong> from Saturday along with a few <strong>saltine crackers</strong> for<strong> 9 points</strong>. </div><div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309169628723924178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz767RARa-u2NB3jDOTtPVeG8xk5_z5ccrYwNayIFrjMptmCMBWFec9N8JLzZhc7nQj8_13q5NPpoI85DMZN8xmk8b_C6zLmwha7hJDucgwLiGS_esz7r-vxNLXdTBnB3xLF3K1ZrfvoY5/s320/DSC01982.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center;" /><br />My sweet tooth got the best of me while watching the BL. So I had <strong>100 cal pack of oreo snack cakes</strong> for <strong>2 points</strong>. Speaking of BL I was pretty po'ed that it was to be continued. I hate that! But was happy to see a part 2 of "after the final rose" is on! :)<br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309169615123668370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-0zNaMXblRBpMwDo2CpyvFH8lv2F2ywFIc_QPGl2hd8yjOFYMKkBsMXVNCF-tFABV7QpP_LcoEPCYHzsa4zLQaT8KP4F5YmLr_SBOHAOGvtqbPmJSy3EOyCcH637zuSe2gIuNOY71DpLi/s320/DSC01983.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center;" /><br /><div style="font-weight: bold;">TUESDAY'S STATS</div><div> </div><div> </div><div></div><div>POINTS = 21</div><div>WATER = 130 oz</div><div>EXERCISE = 47 min cross ramp</div></div></div></div>

Day 119 (Monday 3/2)

Hope everyone had a great Monday!!<br /><br />Today started out quite slow. Once again I battled with myself to get outta bad and the bed won. So no morning work out for me.<br /><br />I ate breakfast in front of the tv...cold cereal again! I love <span style="font-weight: bold;">honey nut cheerios</span> and for some reason between last night and this morning I couldn't get enough of 'em! I counted <span style="font-weight: bold;">6 points</span> for the serving that I had for breakfast.<br /><br />It was hard to go to work this morning. I wanted it to be Sunday again and be lazy with DH, unfortunately that wasn't the case. It was a pretty good day at work though, so that's good.<br /><br />Mid morning I ate the usual <span style="font-weight: bold;">ww yogurt</span> with <span style="font-weight: bold;">1/4c grape nuts</span> for <span style="font-weight: bold;">2 points</span>.<br /><br />Lunch was a repeat of Friday. Couldn't let the taco meat go bad! :p So I had <span style="font-weight: bold;">two tacos</span> for <span style="font-weight: bold;">9 points</span>. I am hoping those two "heavy" tacos don't hurt my wi tomorrow. I'm nervous after Sunday's eats.<br /><br />Once again those tacos kept me full so I didn't have an afternoon snack. Well wait, I did have a <span style="font-weight: bold;">can of diet sunkist</span> for <span style="font-weight: bold;">0 points</span>! Mmmm it's my favorite!<br /><br />After work I headed home to start working on a wedding invitation order and supper. I was really wishy-washy on what I wanted. I thought I wanted a bacon chicken ranch wrap, but nope. I made one for DH anyway...so I had some <span style="font-weight: bold;">sweet potato fries</span> with a side of <span style="font-weight: bold;">ketchup </span>for <span style="font-weight: bold;">5 points</span>. I also had a few bites of DH's <span style="font-weight: bold;">plain baked potato</span> for let's say...<span style="font-weight: bold;">2 points</span>.<br /><br />While watching the Bachelor I had a<span style="font-weight: bold;"> few pretzels</span> for <span style="font-weight: bold;">1 point </span>and a <span style="font-weight: bold;">ww fudge bar</span> for <span style="font-weight: bold;">1 point</span>. Carbs & salt....not a good combo the day before a wi.<br /><br />Ok...so did you guys watch the Bachelor??? I couldn't believe it. I was, at first, so happy that he picked Melissa and then come to find out he's dumping her and wants Molly back. Dude, you need to <span style="font-weight: bold;">make up your mind</span>!! Uuuugggghhh...I think I say it at the end of every season...I'm not going to get hooked next time!<br /><br />Anyway...sorry for the short boring post, need to get cracking on a few things here at work and wi's tonight...I'm so nervous....keep the fingers crossed for <span style="font-weight: bold;">NO GAIN</span>!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">MONDAY'S STATS</span><br /><br />POINTS = 26<br />WATER = 130 oz<br />EXERCISE = none
