I am sorry I didn’t check in yesterday. I hope your work week is off to a good
start. I enjoyed my weekend but it is
back at it for me today. I have a happy
hour event planned with my girlfriends after work. Is it 4 o’clock yet?
I had a very productive day yesterday. I went to my WW meeting and it was good to be
back. I was pretty quiet as it isn’t one
of my favorite leaders but the leader is at least decent. I got a bit upset thought when the leader
talked about her recent dining out experience and that a piece of key lime pie
at Kona Grill was 109 SPV!!! Are you
kidding me? I don’t understand why we
are being penalized so strongly for sugar and treats. But, it is what it is and the purpose is so
we make it an indulgence and not an everyday treat. I highly doubt anybody would want to indulge
in a 109 point piece of pie. Ridiculous
and if you ask me it is quite silly of WW to develop a program that increases
the points on sugar so much. But, moving
on.
From there I went to Curves for my daily workout. I found two “active senior” women who wanted
to chat at a slower pace than the rotation of every 30 seconds to the next
machine/station. I ended up lapping them
a couple of times. It is a good thing
they were cute old ladies because how can you really get mad at them for
impacting your workout?
I met Kenyon for lunch and hit up Trader Joe’s for some
grocery shopping. I planned some
crockpot meals this week so we can have easy dinner after we get off work. I got my car washed and then did some meal
prep so that this weekend will run more smoothly. Finally I met my friend Phoenix and her
daughter Kiki for dinner at Costa Vita.
It was a really nice day off.
It was also a very successful day off in the
sweets/sugar/dessert category. I am not
trying to white knuckle it but I was successful in keeping it in check and
avoiding sweets yesterday. I used gum to
bypass that time I think about it and/or want to stop for a treat. I got some FF/SF pudding to make and also
bought some WW pretzel chocolate bars (2 SPV) as a “treat.” Today after my lunch I am having a rice cake
with peanut butter and a little bit of honey.
Again, I don’t want to go cold turkey so I am trying to combat it but
also reduce.
As far as meals I planned a crockpot Gyros and Beef Broccoli. I also have stuff on hand for making pita
pizza with the leftover pitas. I really
want some falafels as well but I’m not sure if I want to go to all the trouble of
some of the baked recipes I looked at online.
Snacks will include yogurt, fruit, cottage cheese, and pickled rolled up
in ham and cream cheese. It sounds weird
but it is yummy!
My goal right now is to make small changes that will
build and create larger results. I don’t
want to do a complete overhaul and feel totally overwhelmed. I am also tracking this week but not yet
factoring up the SPV. With my few
planned events this week I didn’t want to get off track and stop tracking due
to higher SPV foods.
