Oh those points!

I had my first weigh in with WW this week.   The transitions from eating anything and everything you want to actually being conscious about all those calories/points you put absent mindedly into your mouth is a tedious one!  I keep telling myself that the weight went on over the last 30 years so it will not disappear over night and not without work.   There is no way I would even consider dropping the weight to the 'recommended range' they suggest.   But I do plan to stick with this and drop some weight.....the exact poundage (or tonage) is yet to be decided. 

So today, we had a community cleanup and it was my duty to stop at Dunkin Donuts for coffee, etc.   I stopped at my local after work last night and put in my order and pre-paid  for 100 Munchkins, 2 Boxes of Joe and 1 Box of Hot Chocolate.   When I went in this morning at the you know-what-crack of dawn, the manager offered me a muffin.    I looked and carefully considered.   YES I really did.   I thought about the selection and chose the Bran and Raison Muffin.   It was good and I drove away with my giant glass of lemon water and ate my muffin believing I made the correct selection.   It had bran, it has fiber, it had fruit, it had 10 points when I got home and looked it up on the internet.   I could have had any five Munchkins for 10 points.  Had I known, I would have had no muffin and if I absolutely needed, I would have had 3 Munchkins. Just goes to show you what you think is healthy just may not be.

To make this better I think I will have to open a can of green beans and nothing else for dinner.   Usually when I get home off come the clothes and on go the comfy sweats.   Not today after reading between the hot dog on the grill and the muffin that I had only 3 points left for the day!  I continue to be wearing those uncomfortable tight jeans as a reminder of what a MUFFIN can do for you!  All is not lost because I did earn activity points which I know about from before but which they haven't introduced to us yet at the meeting.  

I will have to see what the weigh in on Wednesday shows.........

  2. I do wish you the best of luck with this!! I am so horrible at keeping track of this sort of thing! I can't wait to hear of your success!

    I wonder how many points two slices of pizza with pepperoni, sausage, onions and green peppers and a cherry pepsi would be? NOPE - on second thought, I'd rather not know!

  3. You are doing great....I would have made the same choice and in the long run I think the fiber may be the better choice...if you know what I mean (wink wink). I am so proud of you for making this decision, as I am still finding every excuse to avoid it :)
