This has been a busy week and I'm still feeling under the weather thus it's been hard just living life as it should be lived. I wanted to post and say that I didn't weigh in this week. NOT because I have messed up but just because I couldn't go due to a business meeting on Monday night.
I'm secretly looking forward to going this coming Monday and see the big number drop(Smile)
This past weekend Kathy and I attended a sales training which included dinner and all of the goodies. I'm so thankful that I wasn't tempted in a real way at Stir Crazy. Someone ordered all of these appetizers which were WAY off of the points counter. A lot of people started eating them and ordered mixed drinks and unfortunately for them they were full when the full meal was offered. I decided to order some soybean pods in hot sauce and shared them with a couple of folks at the table. Good and healthy : )
My meal was a tuna stir fry where I got to pick all of these great veges/ brown rice and thre 1/2 C of Ginger Garlic Sauce. The sauce didn't look fatty and they put a bit of oil in the pan when they stir fried it and I ate half. That is truly all I could eat. Yum Yum
The next day was the average hotel fare. May I be the first to say that they need to improve that. Scrambled eggs and a waffle. Lunch was from Einstein Bagels and it was wonderful. I had went out and purchased fresh salsa, baked chips and my secret snack (100 Calorie Pack Strawberry Cupcakes). I enjoyed it and didn't overeat. Then they wanted to go to dinner and frankly I didn't. I wasn't hungry and I was sooooo tired. I ordered soup and some mashed potatoes. Ate 1/2 and went home to bed.
I say all of this to say "How in the world do folks do it that eat out all of the time?) I'm noticing how much time is spent around food and business. I'm looking forward to enjoying time with friends, business associates and family doing something besides eating : )
I tracked my points but I wasn't sure if I went over so I ate less yesterday and I was comfortable doing so. It's nice to feel in control.
I know this is boring but I wanted to write how I was feeling.
A new food I really enjoyed! DeLite Pizza at Papa Murphy's The Chicken Mediterranean was awesome and 4 points per slice. I had three and still had points left tonight.
Sleep well good friends. I'm looking forward to getting more active again when I feel better!

Sorry you're not feeling well, dear. Time to get over the cold.
ReplyDeleteGood job with the eating out. I know how you feel. I think American's are pretty lazy when it comes to social activities. All we know how to do centers around food. Good to see that you are recognizing what is a good choice and what is not. And also, to be able to say "I'm not that hungry, I'm going to pass or either eat something really light."
I can't believe how patient you are when you have to miss a weigh in; I was pretty obsessive about it.
Talk to you later. Keep up the good work. Pretty soon you will be dropping the 2 out of your weight....it's just a short matter of time. Proud of you, girl. You make me proud!
Dawna,
ReplyDeleteHow are you feeling? I hope you got some more antibiotics. You were a trouper at the meeting though and amazing as always. You are truly and incredible person Dawna. Keep plugging on!
