Got sidetracked over the weekend with the Boyfriend (which extended into Monday, because we’re both off on Mondays), but I was back on track today.
Needless to say, the year so far has not been a great one for my theme, “just do it.” I’ve had moments, but most of the time has been spent NOT doing what needs to be done.
That changes now. I need to do this for myself … I need to do it to stop the scale’s creep in the wrong direction (up another pound since last Monday’s official WW weigh-in).
Today was a great day. I stayed in my Points, without eating any FPs, and I got in 20 minutes of exercise — a 15-minute walk, plus extra walking and some toning exercises while I watched “The Biggest Loser” season premiere that I taped earlier tonight. Right now I’m drinking green tea while I blog and watch the show, but as soon as I’m done blogging, I’m going to pick up the weights.
For dinner, I tried a new recipe. I bought the Hungry Girl recipe cards with part of my Christmas gift card from my brother and sister-in-law, and made the sesame peanut noodles (using tofu shirataki noodles). They were pretty good, though I think I prefer the “Hungry Girlfredo” fettucine Alfredo swap. Maybe if I bulk them up a little with some ham or chicken or something … I was hungry too soon after eating dinner. Had to have some beet salad and then some almonds shortly thereafter.
Then again, the total for all that food was just 7 Points (4 for the noodles, 1 for the beets and 2 for the almonds). That’s not a bad total for dinner (especially after several days of overindulging).
Here’s the Tweet, Eat, Post chart for the day:

Goals for Wednesday:
• Eat just 23 Points, using perhaps 2 or 3 FPs (no more)
• Get at least 10 minutes of exercise
• Drink at least 8 8-ounce glasses of liquid (mostly H2O)
• Track every morsel that goes into my mouth
Totally do-able, I know!
