Accountability

I did it....Monday thru Friday...I was accountable to my journal!!! I'm outta flex points for tomorrow but that is okay. It was a good week of eating. I've decided not to weigh myself this weekend (Sunday would have been my weigh in day). I'm going to wait a little bit so I don't get discouraged if there isn't a big loss. I've added a tracker that is going to help me watch my BMI.

Well, we are in the midst of a government shut down here in good ole' Michigan. We've got to run to get my husband's hunting license since opening day of bow is Monday. If the shut down happens, you won't be able to get any licenses. Though, the DNR will be shut down so it will be a wash. A whole lotta poaching will happen! Like we need one more economic problem in this state!!!!!

Following the Plan

I have been faithfully journaling the last two days. Boy, does that make a difference when you go to put something in your mouth! I don't want to write down that I ate a sleeve of Oreos!!! The only problem today was that I made myself and my husband a Kashi Five Cheese and Tomato frozen pizza(which is 6 pts. a serving) and my kids another frozen pizza ("It's not delivery it's.....). Well, I am a sucker for pizza crusts. My daughter was the perfect child and put her crusts in the trash. However, my son brought his to me. I ended up eating 1 1/4 of his crusts! But.....I did write it down and counted it for 5 pts. Anyway, Weight Watchers is easy and successful when you journal!!! And I have to remember that results usually come from it. Speaking of results...check out this success story from theweighwewere.com. I love to go to this website when I need motivation.

I went for a 3 mile walk today. Our department is moving to a new location so a bunch of us walked to the site for the tour rather than drive. It was a hot, record setting day here which was okay on the way there since it was down hill. But the hill coming back was intense, as was the heat. I also wore my pedometer for the first time in months. As of 6:30 p.m. I have 11,183 steps! I'm sure I'll get at least 1,000 more before the night is over.

Well, gotta get lunches packed, laundry done, books read.....The Bachelor starts tonight! It's going to be one of those busy weeks....IT'S PREMIERE WEEK! I am anxiously waiting for Private Practice and Grey's Anatomy. And Tuesdays are The Biggest Loser. What a TV junkie! Great time for the treadmill!
