Weight Watchers - First week of February

Oops, I never got a chance to come back yesterday to post my food, so I'll do that today :).

Workout: 30 min of running (treadmill) + STS meso 1/week1 back/triceps (8 activity points)

Breakfast: oatmeal with coconut milk, cocoa, peanut butter, and berries

Morning snack: coconut milk, chocolate protein powder, 1/2 banana

Lunch: Orowheat sandwich thins, Jennie-O turkey burger, Trader Joe's cheddar cracker cuts (1 slice), 1/2 tbsp barbecue sauce, steamed green beans, grilled asparagus (with 1 tsp olive oil), 1 cup grapes

I haven't planned what my afternoon snack and dinner will be yet, but I'm currently at 20 points and have 17 WP left and 29 activity points in the bank, with two more days left in my week (not counting today). I'm thinking I'm not going to use up all of my WP, much less tap into my activity points, but I'm not going to force it. I'm going to eat those points if I'm hungry and truly need to feed the hunger, but I'm pretty content right now, so we'll see.

That said, I desperately want some nutella cupcakes--I found a recipe today and am dying to make these LOL. But I probably won't, since I'm too lazy to do that today :p.
 
Thanks for the support ladies!

Melanie-Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not giving up, its a process. Actually, what I meant by us not needing a lot of food is that we tend to mindlessly eat without considering the nutrients that our bodies need. We should be eating to fuel our bodies, not just because its available. Due to an acne issue, I haven't had dairy for years now. I do use unsweetened almond milk in my breakfast though. The almond milk has 30% calcium and prot. powder has 15% calcium. I don't always have a protein shake in the afternoon, but I prefer to have a carb/prot together. Somedays I have an apple w/tbs of almond butter instead of a protein shake or boiled egg whites.

Shereta-I too like to get in 5-6 days of cardio and my 3 STS w/o's each week. I'm a bit behind now from being sick but hope to get back on track tomorrow. My water intake is great, at least 100oz/day. I drink 32 oz before/during my morning w/o and 32oz before bed. I get the rest of it during the day. I never lost weight doing STS before (this is my 3rd round), but now I'm following WW so that should help. Although, 2 summers ago when I was training for a marathon and doing WW...I didn't lose any weight, just like Jennifer. I've lost weight with WW in the past and believe in their program.
 
Diana, you ran a marathon? Wow. Please share your experience. I did a 10K on Thanksgiving Day. DH and I plan to do it every year until we just can't anymore. He was into running/hiking up and down and around a mountain near our home. But, he'll be out of commission for months with that achilles tendon healing. Im supposed to start back running twice a week in March. Then in June, I'll start training for the 10K again.

Food intake:

B. 2 eggs, green beans
S. yogurt, banana, peanuts
L. salad, lean cuisine pizza, graham crackers
s. yogurt, apple, nutrigrain bar
d. broiled tilapia, carrots, a little mac & cheese
s. ice cream.

I'm well over my points for the week. I'm not nervous about weighing in tomorrow. It'll be whatever it'll be. I'll just start from there. But, I will be more careful next week.
 
Shereta-sorry to disappoint, but I didn't actually run the marathon. I had a morton's neuroma that was quite painful so I had to stop running. In December, I finally had the surgery to have the nerve removed and am doing fine now. I haven't tried running yet, but am back to high impact w/o's without incident. The half marathon is my favorite distance though, tough but doable! I've ran 6 or 7 half's, but trained twice for full marathons-never ran the race. Enjoy your annual 10K, they are the most fun...usually lots of hype, music and spectators. I like your outlook, it is what it is, learn from it and do better next week. I saw a quote one time that said, "If you make a mistake, accept it, correct it, and move on." It's just kind of stuck with me and can apply to many situations.

Sherata: just you watch, you'll be addicted now :). It starts with a 10K and next thing you know, it'll be a marathon (or two or three :p).
 
I'm back from vacation (sniff, sniff). Goodbye tropics, hello the ice rink that is my driveway. I did not eat very well on vacation, although eating lobster and key lime pie seemed pretty good at the time. I'm mentally not ready to be back yet or to jump back into WW. I'm enjoying the rest of my weekend, Superbowl party and all, and then it's back at it on Monday. I'm going to stick with my Wednesday weigh-in and not weigh myself til then.
 
Happy Saturday, Everyone. And, yes, indeed, it is a happy one.

Jennifer, quite a few people have said I'll be addicted to running. I really understand that. So, we'll see how it panes out.

Welcom back Stacy. Wow Lobster and Key Lime. Yummy. Yummy. Enjoy your weekend.

Well, I weighed in this morning. wooohooooo down 2.5 lbs. OMG. Cannot believe it. Then, I start thinking about all the people in the past who've reported how much they eat while doing Cathe's workouts. I think I'm convinced. I ended the past week with a -21 WPs. That means I ate all my DPs, APs, WPs plus 21 more PPs. I'm a flabbergasted. But, it is what it is.

My core has lost that pot belly that protruded well past my size 16 pants. I'm comfortably in a 16 now. Woohoo.

I did Circuit Blast and Core Cardio Circuit this morning. There was so much shoulder, chest, back and core work that I know I need to do these often cause I'm such an apple. I earned 15 APs, but I probably won't use them all today b/c I always get a late start on Saturdays.
 
Shereta - you are on FIRE!!! Totally rockin' this program. Good for you girl...:D

Stacy - so sorry your vaca is over...:( but so glad to have you back...:D

Today is not my weigh-in day but I stepped on the scale anyway. Same as last week. Not throwin' it in yet though. Still gonna work it until I just can't work it anymore...;)

Instead of dwelling on the "Ugh, I stayed the same this week" feeling I had this morning, I'm thinking about what changes/improvements I can make this coming week. I'm going to cut out my night-time snack and use those points for a bigger, more satisfying dinner. I'm never really hungry at that time but I eat it because I already wrote it down..:confused: Probably not a good rule to go by. My night-time snack is usually a WW yogurt & 1/2 cup Cool Whip Free. Well, I checked out the ingredients on both of those last night and was not happy to see all of those chemicals. Gonna try to stick to whole, natural foods. And since that is pretty much what I eat for my three meals and 1 of my snacks, cutting out the last snack pretty much eliminates the chemicals from my diet. Well, other than the Equal I put in my coffee but I'm really not ready to give that up yet. Can't have my coffee without it and I need me some coffee!!

I think I'm going to give AM cardio a try as well. I don't have enough coordination to do step in the morning, but I can handle a Cardio Coach on the stationary bike. Maybe Monday, Wednesday, Friday; yoga on Tuesday and maybe a circuit on Thursday night and/or Saturday morning.

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!
 
Group! Sorry I've been AWOL lately. The end of the week has been...shall we say....challenging. A bit of this...:mad: and a bit of this...:confused: plus some of this thrown in for good measure....:(.

I managed to eat exactly my DPs today. This is good since I'm all out of WPs!

Shereta - I love the week you've had and your attitude and enthusiasm. You rock!

I'm going to call it a night and hope for a better week. I'm going to go ahead and start the thread for the new week in case my morning goes crazy.

Take care.
