Hi all,
I am SO w/ you Leigh. Lunch doesn't stay w/ me unless it's warm. From your posts it seems you really limit your meats...is that on purpose? Protein makes me feel fuller longer. I'm w/ Leigh2 on the Smart Ones lunches. They are the bomb. I have a few favs and occassionally I get adventurous and start trying some new ones I haven't had. I try to stock up when someone has them on sale so I end up paying less than $2 a piece for them.
Another good recipe is WW black bean soup - only 3 pts per serving and SO tatsty! Find it at this link http://www.weightwatchers.com/food/rcp/index.aspx?recipeid=99601
Also, Light Flat Out wraps are awesome. The co website has recipes for these as well - some of which are for warm dishes. They come in several yummy flavors. http://www.flatoutbread.com
I am SO glad to see Ann(no E!) and Leigh2 on OB2009 w/ us! Hopefully, a couple of others of you who have joined us will start posting, too, instead of lurking! :>
After reading the latest post I am ashamed of myself. I too had a bad day yesterday, but unlike you I did not come here. Instead I sat around and felt sorry for myself ALL day. Although the official start of my week is Tues I weighed my self Mon AM on that damn scale! (As I do EVERY day at least once...) I was only down 1 stupid pound! After white-knuckling all weekend I got 1 damn pound! I was ready to give up...and yet I didn't come to you my fellow OB 2009 Gerbils. I am sorry and will try to do better :<>
Anyway, this morning I weighed myself (of course!) and I am down a total of 2.5 pounds for week one! Not only did I stick to my goals - write it all down, exercise 4X 30 minutes each, keep to about 1500 cal or less - but I lost two point five pounds!!!!!! Yes, 2.5 - dos.cinco, baby!
Anyway, the whole dependence on the scale thing has been bothering me. I was talking to Leigh2 about it this morning and we made a pact to not weigh ourselves until next Tues morning...I must be a seriously ill person b/c it has bothered me all day that I won't be able to weigh myself tomorrow. I have to do this though. Not only did I promise, but we also pinkie sweared (I CAN"T break a pinkie swear!) I also can't continue to be one sick bitch! I deserve better than to depend on some damn machine to decide my worth!!! (Can you tell I'm pumping myself up? I sound like some dude...grrrrrrrrr!) The scale is my new goal this week - in addition to the other 3. (Right now I can't do more than that!)
Anyone, want to join us for a "weigh-free" week?
Anne

I was wondering where you were! :) Remember, you can have many victories that aren't determined by the scale. You are doing a great job on making the changes you need to be a healthier you. We are always here for you whether you feel successful or not - and we will help you recognize all your successes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lunch tips - I will definitely check out that soup recipe!
I am so proud of you for working out 4 times a week. It is so hard to make time for that!
ReplyDeleteI do a warm lunch once a week, usually i will just warm up a smart ones, but i take fruit with me too because its still not filling to me!
I want to try that recipe and I love wraps, a lot. I think I need stock in Taco Bell because they have many good foods that are wrapped, ha ha ha!!
Congrats on your 2.5 pounds, VICTORY!!!
I will try next week to have a "weigh free week". I have to contemplate this one. The scale helps encourage me to make changes (or not) to help gauge what I'm doing.. maybe next week!!
ReplyDeleteI like how it's good not to have the scale decide anyone's worth..but dang I'm so addicted to it!
