Well I did it, I tracked all my food last week and only ended up 89 points over my allotted points.
Where did those extra 89 points come from?
10 points- 1/2 of 1 BIG COOKIE on Tuesday
10- Extra serving of Pasta with sauce (pasta 4, sauce 4, cheese 2) on Wednesday
14 points- 2 High Balls at Dinner Friday Night
20- Fried Fritter, Egg Roll and and extra helping of Noddles at Dinner on Friday Night
5- Banana Pudding on Saturday
4- 2 random slices of cheese eaten out of the fridge on Saturday
20- The Sandwich I ate for dinner after my sausagefest tailgating Sunday when I had no points to spare
4- Late night beer on Sunday after traveling
1- one rolo before bed on Sunday
TOTAL 89!!!
Its always and eye opener the first week I start tracking. And no mater how long I have been on Weight Watcher the points still seem to go fast. Good Choices are the only way to lose weight. Oddly, I lost a pound last week. While my choice were not stellar and yes I did go over, my choices were better than if I was not tracking my food.
Moral of the story…tracking food helps you make better choices and better choices add up in the end. For me it was 1 pound this week. One pound lost, not gained!
Here’s wishing you well on WW, I’m slowly getting back onto my eating plan and dropped 1kg … it’s been hard though. Winter is such a hard time to keep out of my goodies boxes.
Yikes on 89 extra points but yeah on 1lb lost!
glad i am not the only one getting back on track. *sigh* it is so hard. but it is harder to feel the way i do right now – bloated and huge.
Great job on the pound lost!
Congrats on your first week’s loss. Call it the “getting back into the swing of things” week. I HAVE to track my food daily, and plan ahead for what I’ll eat each day. I’m not totally successful every day, but it sure does help keep me somewhat in line. I’m still on the journey. I’m learning it’s a lifetime one. Good luck on yours! 🙂
thanks for the encouragement. Getting back is always painful. Sadly I’m on the road this week which makes it even harder.
