A crazy week ahead
Yesterday was weigh-in day, and I gained .8 pound, For those keeping track, that’s a gain of 3 pounds in two weeks. I didn’t have time to worry about it because we had a conference with the Boy’s teacher, principal, resource person, etc. I’ll write about that in my other blog, The Romancechick Speaks.
Anyway, i need to track. That’s my biggest issue. So, yesterday, I went to Weight Watchers’ website and started scrupulous tracking everything I ate. I did discover that I probably overestimate the size of servings. My regular salad had to be cut back a little – not the vegetables, but the bacon bits and the chow mein noodles. I almost took them out completely, but instead I measured them with a actual measuring cup, not my hand. I enjoyed the salad even if it wasn’t the same as I would have made before, but I didn’t feel like I missed anything.
Then we had spaghetti for dinner and I kept all the packages and added the points. I had a small serving and was actually amazed at how much my husband and father-in-law took. I know I would have taken more if I hadn’t been being so aware of what my points were.
Yes, my in-laws are here, looking at houses, and that means we’ll probably go out tomorrow night. It’s the end of the school year for the Boy and if he can continue getting “goods” today and tomorrow, we’ll take him to Cheeburger, Cheeburger. Looking it up online shows me that either I skip this night out or do a major amount of exercise. I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that I can’t use my weekly allowance points if I want to lose weight.
Anyway, we’ll see how this week – oh, I’m sorry, two weeks as next Monday the office will be closed for Memorial Day – goes.
