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

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!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
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 :)
