Good Evening to all!! I apologize for you faithful followers for missing an evening but I was frustrated, irritated, and just plain tired and crabby last night!!! Yesterday started out fairly well with eating and then after work it all went to hell in a hand basket!! For those of you that don't know I am currently commuting from Watertown to Aberdeen for work which is 100 miles one way. At first I really didn't mind the drive at all; however, it is now a drag!!! So, I stopped at the gas station and grabbed a soda and was also STARVING...mistake number 1!! I grabbed a chex mix thing and a soda and went up to pay and as I was paying looked over and saw these cookies and grabbed one of those too! I ate it all on the way home and honestly can say I didn't even enjoy it 100%. I'd be lying if I didn't enjoy it at all but not as much as I had wanted to! I was still ok because I had 35 extra points for the week; however, I really didn't want to use them!!! It's crazy how you impulsively act!! Unfortunately...it didn't stop there!!! We went to Guadalaraja's for supper and I actually did ok there. I had a chicken taco with some spanish rice and about 20 chips. Again, I stayed in my point range for the day; however, I had used the rest of them on this meal so I was hungry but the nights end!!! Someday, I will get this down!!
Today went MUCH better!!! I was so happy to have such a wonderful supper at home. For those of you that don't know me that well we are unfortunately ones that eat out a lot! So, it was a VERY nice treat to eat at home and I look forward to doing that a lot more often. We have a program at work called smart movers to where they have you fast and check your cholesterol and glucose etc. Well today we found out our results and all of my numbers were great except for my weight....well there is a news flash!!! All sarcasm aside...I did not do the program to see that I was overweight I did it in order to get my blood checked! I was happy with the results and it was motivating for me in that it will keep me going in order to make my numbers even better!
Another cool thing is that I was given a WW food scale for Christmas one year and honestly didn't use it a whole lot because I didn't take the time to learn how to use it. Well anyway, I took it out tonight and took the time to figure it out and all I can say is AWESOME!!! You can punch in foods or nutrition information on that food and place the food on the scale and wala...you have the points!!! YAY!!!
Well...I'm getting ready to wrap up my evening. I hope y'all are doing well and I don't know about the rest of you but TGIF!
Love and peace to all....Jvonne

You go girl!! Bad days happen but you have to move on. And you are right - eventually counting points, etc. will be routine. Yay for your test results! You are taking charge and getting healthy so those numbers get even better! And I can't wait to meet you at the gym for a cardio and bitch session :)
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome Jvonne! I didn't realize you have that commute everyday -- Good Lord! THAT is the most challenging time for me --- traveling! YIKES!! All I can say is gum gum gum -- oh and sugar free halls cough drops -- they spoil your taste buds so nothing else tastes good!
