Here's to starting over! (Again...)

Okay, so I am happy about being down 1.4 pounds since I started posting here... several weeks ago. = Slow progress, though, is better than no progress. Had hoped to be a little more slender with the tropical vacation (which means bathing suits) staring at me. But, it is what it is.

Food yesterday sucked, but I was decent about paying attention to Weight Watchers points. For breakfast I had a cranberry-orange muffin (11 ponits - good lord!), and a venti starbucks soy chai (8 points). Then I was depressed about having eaten 19 of my 21 daily points before 9:00am. (Shit.) So, around about 2pm, I was really getting hungry (reading the menu for lunch at The Orchard restaurant in Frederick did *not* help). Jariris said that "the vajayjay commanded me" to eat something. So, not wanting to enrage the vajayjay, I went to Teaism and got a Bento box (YAY for bento!)... tuna with roasted sweet potatos, sticky rice (oops, I ate it all), and some lightly steamed broccoli. For dinner, I had (no... not celery, which I should have) a mini bagel with Nutela (droool).

Today started off much better with homemade chai (2 pts), oj (.5 pt), a mini bagel with loc and neuhfachtel (2.5 pts), 1/2 c. of plain yogurt with some pomegranates (.5 pt). So, 5.5 points -- not bad.

Lunch today is a bunch of 0 point veggies (carrotts, celery, cucumber), sugar snap peas (.5 pt), an orange (1 pt), some left over Indian food I made this weekend with basmati rice (2.5 pts), 1/2 c. plain yogurt (.5 pt), grapes (1 pt), an apple (1 pt) for an afternoon snack. That's a very hearty 6.5 point lunch.

That leaves 9 points for the rest of the day, but I am not sure what I will have for dinner. Probably some leftover hamburger soup and toast... if the husband doesn't scarf it when he gets home from Chicago. (Plus, there's the 2 extra points I earned walking for 50 minutes in the rain this morning.)

Onward and upward... next week will be fish with rice and beans... and LOBSTER! and lots of exercise.
