The Changes

I've lost 11.6 pounds in three weeks and it has not come easy. Last time I shared with you that Dr. Pepper and late night snacking were two things that needed to change and I have definitely made strides there. Not without some resistance. Around 11:00 p.m. my stomach and my head start chanting so...

 I open the fridge and stare into the light for about 45 seconds

Close the door

Take two steps to the left and open the pantry door

stare... close...

Then I open the refrigerator door and stare into the light for about 45 seconds...

Ok, you get the idea... Which brings me to:

Change #3- Healthy Spaces

Shannon has always been good about not keeping unhealthy snacks around but the seemingly harmless chips and salsa or the obviously-bad-for-you plate of nachos would undoubtedly be my downfall at the end of a day... accompanied by a DP or two. Now when I start the numb, brainless search for a late night snack or something to satisfy the afternoon sweet tooth, my options are limited to a few healthier choices that we buy at the beginning of each week. 

Low Fat Wheat Thins and a Laughing Cow wedge

Dark Chocolate Hershey's Kisses

Diet Dr Pepper

Lots of water

Pistachios

 Bananas

Sounds boring? It's not really. I'm loving the results and it's totally worth it to me. I take food to work and water with me most places so that I don't get hungry and make poor choices. Of course the one tool I could not do it without is my Weight Watchers Etools App with which I track every single thing that goes into my mouth. That's it for this "Change" post. Let me know what works for you!!

Bonus!

Since I started Weight Watchers I have had a few experiences that I would not have had otherwise. Here are a few:

Bonus 1- I tried a Subway sandwich with a bunch of veggies on it that I would never have tried before. I LOVED IT!

Bonus 2- At the end of the meeting this morning I heard a lady tell another lady these exact words "I've gotta do something, my skin is dryin up and I'm having trouble going poop." Wowzers! I had to walk away so she wouldn't see me tweeting it before I forgot the exact words :-)

Bonus 3- On my walk today I saw a dead snake

Who said losing weight was boring and hard?!

The Battle Within

I've known we were going to have pizza for our February staff lunch for several weeks and I was kind of looking forward to it. I like pizza. I like it uh-lot...

Except that..

as you know, last Sunday I started Weight Watchers. On Saturday I weighed in and loved the results. Saturday is also when Shannon and I eat our one meal out for the week. We had Whataburger and it was glorious. We plan it that way and its usually ok...

Except that...

the next day was Super Bowl Sunday. I did really good Sunday night compared to how I would normally have eaten. We made our homemade pizza as planned. We made our dip and ate responsibly. I was full but not miserable. I even avoided the temptation to get the dip back out while I studied until 1:30 in the morning. Huge victory there!

And so...

that brings us back to staff lunch Monday. I told myself I could just eat one or two pieces, count the points and be all good. I could be strong and exercise self control because I've done it so well in the past. I really did go back and forth on this decision. So what did I do? The suspense is killing you isn't it?

Well...

I got up Monday morning and drank my breakfast protein shake. I made a Turkey Wrap and packed Fat Free Pringles (14 for two points), a banana and pistachios along with a few Dark Chocolate Hershey's Kisses (2 for one point) and kept my routine for the day. I had some salad with a tiny bit of the Olive Garden dressing on it but passed on the bread sticks, pizza, cupcakes and Valentines candy!

It felt great! I was in the Zone and not even tempted because I had planned ahead and won the battle.
