More loss!

Friday is my weigh-in day, and I was kind of nervous to step on the scale this morning. I haven't been good about recording what I've eaten the past couple days, so I was worried I wouldn't have lost anything. I was very pleasantly surprised to see I was down one pound from my last weigh-in! That meant I lost three pounds this past week--the two I gained on vacation and then one additional! Woo hoo!!

John and I are going to finish assembling the treadmill this weekend, so hopefully once I start exercising in addition to watching what I eat I'll keep dropping or step it up a little even!

Costco

While I'm dieting I like to find my problem areas, like times I overeat, when I tend to eat the most, etc. I discovered today that Costco is one of my problems. We end up going every couple weeks, and since there's one near Will's school we usually go after I pick him up. He loves having lunch at Costco, and since it's cheap and usually lunchtime when we're there, I let us eat there. Before we went today I looked up nutritional info on the turkey wrap I usually get. I had always thought it was fairly healthy, so I was shocked to find out it was 17 WW points! Yikes! There really aren't any healthy choices there which makes it hard. I also love the churros there and the pizza. I thought I'd be okay having just half the wrap--which I did--but then I couldn't resist taking bites of the pizza Will and Miles didn't eat. I guess better that I just took a few bites than had a whole pizza of pizza or something else like that. I also only had two bites of the churro--normally Will and I split it.

So, I need to come up with a plan for lunch at Costco. The main reason we usually go is for formula for Miles, and he only has about a month and a half left on it, so that will help as we won't need to go as often.

Vacation

My boys and I are back from our trip to Orlando. I mostly sticked to the WW plan or at least tried to...it's kind of hard when you're spending most of the time at theme parks! And things like homemade potato chips covered with cheese and bacon are thrust in front of you. But, I was pretty pleased with myself overall. I wasn't going to weigh myself for a few days, but curiousity got the best of me this morning. I was pleased to find I was only up two pounds! I'm hoping that after this week of sticking to the WW plan, drinking lots of water, and eating lots of vegetables I'll be back down those two--right back to where I was when I left for the trip. I'm also hoping that John and I can get the treadmill assembled one night this week so I can start using that, too. I'm trying to come up with new weight loss goals and a time frame, but I need to do some thinking on what's feasible and by when.
