Okay, I promised yesterday that I’d share what we talked about at the WW meeting . . .
Saboteurs, a.k.a., “Wow—why would you offer me that?”
With Thanksgiving just a few days away, I think we’re all aware that we’re going to be around people who are going to try to sabotage us—whether consciously or not. Here [...]

Wow–Why Would You Offer Me That?

Weekly Weigh-In 11/23/08
Well . . . as I mentioned earlier in the week, I was having a lot of trouble with motivation—and it showed at the scale: up 0.4 lb. But I’m still lower than the 272.2 that I’d been trying to get back down to since August 11. And it means that I’ve really got to [...]

Friday 11/21 Food Journal
Breakfast
Approx. 1/2 cup of oatmeal–prepared with quick oats and skim milk.
Apple
Hot tea
Even though I made a huge bowl of the oatmeal (following the directions for one serving), I only ate about half a cup of it because it got really gummy really fast, since I did it in the microwave. Food challenge today: lunch at [...]

Thursday 11/20 Food Journal
Breakfast
Key Lime WW yogurt (1 point)
I’m having a really hard time sticking to program this week. I’m not sure if it’s motivation or if it’s because “that time of the month” is coming up, but my cravings for high-fat foods and sugar have been terrible this week.
Lunch
Chicken sausage (3 Points) with sauerkraut
I got a call [...]

Wednesday 11/19 Food Journal
Breakfast
Pan-browned piece of ham
1/2 canned pear stuffed w/fat free cottage cheese
Another food challenge for me this week is that I’m meeting one of the newer members of MTCW for supper Thursday night at Chili’s. But I just got on their website to peruse the menu and start planning now what I’ll be ordering. I might [...]

This was filling enough that I only ate 3/4 of it. However, [...]

Monday 11/17 Food Journal
I watched the second episode of Ruby on the Style network last night—apparently it will only be 30 minutes instead of an hour like the first ep. But that’s a good thing, because her whining starts to grate on my nerves after a few minutes. One of the issues I’m having with this being a [...]

Weekly Weigh-In 11/16/08
Woohoo! Down 2.4 pounds this week (-24.4 for WW/-44.4 overall), which puts me at the lowest weight I’ve been at in . . . well as long as I can remember. I think maybe I’ve finally broken this plateau. But, it also means that it’ll be unlikely that I’ll hit my 10% weight loss by [...]

Lunch (no breakfast due to sleeping in until 11 a.m.)

Brown rice with a splash of lite soy sauce
Edamame (about 1/4 cup of what was left over)
Hot tea w/splash of lemon juice, sweetened with Splenda
It has been cold, cold, cold [...]

Friday 11/14 Food Journal
So as I was getting up this morning around 8:30, I heard the next-door neighbors’ beagles whining and crying. Up until a few days ago, these two strays that somehow found their way to his yard awhile back had been left free to roam the neighborhood day and night. But Metro Animal Control has picked [...]
