It
was wonderful to see the members at the Monday night WW meeting at
the Meridian location. I've missed them all so much (and I think
they missed me, or so they say). Compared to the WW meeting that I
went to Monday evening in Nampa, which was a snooze-fest, the
Meridian location is hopping. It was a really bit meeting and the
energy in the room is positive, encouraging, and overall pretty
awesome.
My
biggest hang up with that meeting is the time and I wish it started
an hour early. Kenyon and I have every other Saturday off together
as well as every Sunday and Monday. He is taking Calculus 2 at a
near by college that meets on Mondays in the afternoon. I told him
last week that he needs to make sure he eats something after class
and not to worry about me. I prefer to not each much since I've got
my WI later that evening. Well, he didn't have a snack and boy was
he hangry! I really love the late meeting so hopefully we can get
our eating schedules figured out soon.
After
the meeting we went to dinner at Red Robin. I'm trying really hard
to limit our eating out not only for money savings but also to help
the scale. I don't need to be eating out a large meal and risk extra
water weight. The good part is that I'm really energized after my
meeting so I don't have the tendency to go overboard. I had a gain
of 0.2 pounds, which I know is just temporary since the home scale
was down a pound earlier in the morning. That really kept me
motivated because temporary weight gain become permanent weight gain
if In don't stay on track. I looked up points ahead of time on the
WW app since Red Robin is in the restaurant section. We both had the
Ensenada Chicken Platter, which was really good and very filling. It
came with two chicken breasts and a side salad. I asked for mine
without cheese and tomatoes (yucky tomatoes) and dressing on the
side. I'm not sure if the points included salad dressing but I added
two extra points since I dipped some of my chicken in the ranch to
cool it down a bit. It was nice to have something other than my
usual at Red Robin. And, we had a Christmas gift card so we didn't
have to spend any money.
I
came home and finished off my S'mores Halo Top ice cream (seriously a
delicious flavor) and had a few spoonfuls of the Sea Salt Carmel
flavor too. It is nice to have such a low point option for when my
sweet tooth hits.
I've
got a food plan in place this week and have a social obligation/open
house on Saturday, which will have yummy potluck food. I'm not sure
yet what my plan is for Saturday. I had a very successful week with
earning my blue dots and I'm also doing well collecting them for the
month of January. I remember when the month started seeing people
setting goals to earn blue dots 25 days and that seemed so crazy.
Well, it isn't as crazy as I thought and with the new Freestyle
Program, is doable.
