chopsticks !! staying on track !

Last night, after a day of eating little i got chinese food which was delish but i know way over my points value of 24. Its been a hard week for me in terms of getting back on track from the turkey effect, when i went home and ate turkey and baked goods. Oh well, today is a new today and im attempting to make another serious attempt. Its all part of the journey, although i would like to be down another 5 pounds by november 15th.
In an effort to be more accountable about my eating, i will post here what my meal plan for the day is and my goal for this week is to stay within my points and blog my menu every day:

2 small bran muffins (6)
1 cup activia yogurt (4)
2 pieces ww bread and lite cheese (6)
diet coke (0)
balance = 24-16= 8
1 cup berries (1)
1 cup soup = 3
3 squares lindt chocolate = 4
1 hot chocolate - 1
ap - 2 or 3

wish me luck

Taking care of business (everyday)

So today was a good day - i finally hunkered down after a week of not really paying attention to what i was shoving in my mouth. I did eat some nuts and chocolate but in moderation, i also went for a rather long walk and did some squats and lunges! I watched this video on youtube about weight loss and it was really motivational. The woman talked about taking really small steps towards losing poundage and so that is what im going to do. This week's goal is to track everything and stay op. Its going to be hard when i head home for Thanksgiving but im hoping i can plan one day where i will have a treat and the other days I will be good. Im really looking forward to seeing the fall leaves, hiking and catching up with the fam. Im also hoping to do some baking and hope the fam will eat it all so i don't have to :) ha !
ps. Im also buying a scale tommorow! whoo!

Twas gone for a week

Today is a new day - monday, and im hoping to get back on track. After a week of travelling around and eating lots of nuts ( as the photo below will attest to) I am attempting to get back in control. Last night i ate some chips and chocolate -- those are the 2 worst things to have and lose weight. Anyways, i would like to lose about 5 pounds in october. I think the weight that i have lost may have come back - i think i need to buy a scale and check this.
In terms of this weeks goals, im trying to stop mindless eating. wish me luck
Also, i need to start doing lunges and squats again.
