Back to points

I'm annoyed with Livestrong. I blame it for my recent gains. So, I'm going back to points.
Also, I'm going to start counting the milk in my coffee, which I had not been doing. I think that now I'm down to within 5 pounds of goal, every little bit counts.


Breakfast: 1 egg+egg white (2), spinach/zucchini/onion sauteed in little OO (2), feta cheese (1): 5
coffee w/whole milk (must switch to fat free milk): 1

fage yogurt (2), fiber 1 (1/2 c) (1): 3

30 min walk (slowly--with a pregnant friend): -1

turkey slices (2), cut up veggies (0), beet salad (3), apple (1): 6

veggie burger (1), salad (0), walnuts & dried cherries in salad (2), salad dressing (2), TJ gnocchi (4): 7

Net of 23

Okay, so clearly I was overeating on Livestrong. I did have more at dinner since I knew I had the points, but still... I was pretty hungry today. This is going to be hard.

Wednesday from home

Wednesday's food... did really well today. I think I tracked everything. Maybe I should have added in salad with dinner.

I also did more than 1/2 of the abs JW workout, but didn't track it.

Day 1: Tuesday intake

Day 1 of no sweets: successful

I feel like I ate a lot... but I did okay on calories. No exercise, but that's okay.

committed... despite today's intake.

I went over my calories yesterday. I think that the estimates are off by at least a little. It's likely that I just broke even... I had 2 pretzels and the serving size on the bag was 3 for 120 calories... so I know that part is off a little. I don't know how to count the stuffed shells... but whatever. Close enough.

I've decided that I will follow the advice of Jenna and Indya and cut out sweets for the next two weeks. I feel too trapped by my cravings for them. I feel too hungry. And, I'm too disgusted with the scale, which this morning said 163.

I hate the scale.

Weekend...

I am very proud to say that I tracked all weekend. And, I exercised both days. I just didn't have time to blog about it.

I may have forgotten to track something on Saturday... but likely it was salad...

Despite being an a good streak with eating and exercise (so far every day since Wednesday last week), I am feeling more puffy and chubby than normal! I think in part the new jeans are to blame. They create a muffin top. So do my regular jeans, though...

I'm pretty frustrated. What's my motivation for staying the course if I'm not seeing the benefits?? Maybe I need to reassess what I'm eating? How I'm exercising? Or, maybe I need to just wait it out? It's not like I've been so diligent for that long...
