I had breakfast with a friend this morning and had a larger breakfast than usual. I made a fairly healthy choice for a diner. I don't think I ordered grits, but that's what she brought. I didn't eat much of them as I am not a big fan.
Every Friday night, we go to a friend's house, and that is why we had cake. I had a small slice and went back for 2 little thin slivers more. I had to ask someone to keep me away from it. It was deliciously good!

I wanted the pasta like I had last Saturday night. This was a round about way of getting it. It was tasty and I got some free veggies in!
I should have done 45 on the treadmill, but I just couldn't find the motivation. 30 a day is the goal, so I figured it was OK to do less time.
I had a real sweet tooth tonight and was antsy. I ate too much just sort of grazing and trying to curb my appetite. Some days are like that. It could be too much diet soda and the sweetness in that is making me crave more sweets.

I think I did better today and ate more healthy meals. The lentil soup is leftover from last week and is still a good idea. Adding the sausage is something I wouldn't have done on the "old WW plan", but now on PointsPlus, it's a very filling and protein-filled option.
I'm glad I got in the treadmill today. I really didn't want to do 45 minutes, but I wanted to earn 4 points! Usually I don't mind the walking, but for some reason today it was tedious. I'm trying to cut back on the diet soda, so limeade is now my new substitute.

I keep resisting having treats, but I've always found it's better to integrate them throughout the week instead of bingeing and letting it be out of control.
The mac n cheese is a prepared meal from the grocery store which I divided into 3, the recommended portion size. This is an indulgence, but it's really tasty and I had failed to plan anything for dinner. I think as long as I can resist eating more than I'm supposed to, it's OK.

We spent 5 hours cleaning to get ready to move to my new place. I didn't eat much breakfast because we were rushing to get to the old place to meet my sister who was helping me.
My fiancee and I looked up the Subway points ahead of time and found out the flatbread is the same amount of points as half a sub. That was good to know because the flatbread is tasty and sometimes I like less bread.
Dinner was nice and light. Our family met at Moe's for dinner, but I didn't want anything there. It's hard for me to find healthy choices and I'd already eaten my dinner right after zumba. I brought an apple and my own can of diet soda so that I could be social with them. More and more, I need to do what's right for me despite pressure (or perceived pressure) to eat with other people even if I'm not hungry.

Today's the day I usually have more treats since it's the day I weigh in. The dessert was a single serving lemon pie slice, but I only ate half of it. I saved the rest for another day. Dinner wasn't as good as I had hoped, but it was OK.
This week I'm going to try not to eat all the activity points I earn, and I'm going to ramp up my activity on non-zumba days. I had been using my dance class as my activity on those days, but I'm not sure it's intense enough.

Too much temptation. I asked my fiancee to hide some things or take some things to work that I really didn't want. I just ate them because I saw them. I know, it makes no sense......!

I looked up the menu ahead of time for the brunch place and calculated everything up there. I didn't know what I was going to feel like eating, and I wanted to be prepared. I discreetly had my little menu written out. My sister was there and wanted to know how many points for the quiche (if she's doing WW, I don't know about it.) She was surprised by how many points (9) for quiche, and with the hash browns (9), neither one of us wanted to try it.
My food wasn't really good. Apparently I was the only person who didn't like their food. It took for-freaking-ever to get our food because 2 people at our table were late and the servers waited for them to take our orders (they didn't come until at least an hour later than they were supposed to) and then the servers wanted to serve us all at once (I guess.....)
I also researched the Panera points. I used to always get half a bacon turkey bravo and the french onion soup with a baguette side. Not anymore! Too many points for me for one meal. I got half the sandwich and it was nice and filling and I had an apple side and brought my own Coke Zero with me. (Yes, I am cheap, but I don't care.)

Feedback:
At my unofficial weigh in today, I stayed the same. Yesterday, I was stress eating and emotional eating. Today I attended my meeting and went grocery shopping. I still went off track and waited way too long to eat. I really cannot do this to myself anymore. It makes me feel terrible to eat too late, to skip meals and then be out of control.
Dinner was good. I almost bought a "full fat" alfredo freezer dinner, but then I realized I could get something reduced calorie and mix it with broccoli and the Aidell's sausage (or grilled chicken). My fiancee got the same thing and he was totally fine with it. He actually didn't like the sweetness of the sausage. I couldn't believe it was only 4 points for one link. It is extremely tasty and I cut it up into small pieces and put it in the alfredo with the steamed broccoli. We almost went out to eat, but I really didn't feel like it and I felt I had been too out of control (eating wise) and I just couldn't face the unknowns of a restaurant. Sometimes you just have to tell yourself the truth.

Weighed in today after missing regular Saturday weigh-in to attend my bridal shower out of state. I expected to gain and I did. I continued tracking, which is great and was certainly not something that was easy to post for everyone to see, nor was I proud of it. However, it was alright and I got back on track and I kept the faith. Everyone has peaks and valleys and this is a valley, but this is life.
They were trying to get rid of the lemon mousse bars at the WW meeting, but I really don't care for them.
I had a different leader than usual and I really didn't like some of her personal style (reading lots of rhyming poems).....it's just not me. I feel like I'm a kid in school. She makes her point (I guess....) to a certain audience, but it's not my thing.
I ate more junk than usual today and I also got caught out in my car without safe snacks. However, I did lay out a lot of snacks for home, starting planning my meals, threw out old stuff from the fridge, evaluated the fridge and freezer and pantry and got right back into what is now automatic for me.
It's a routine part of my life to think about my activity, how I'm going to get in my activity, what I need on hand to eat right and also what "treats" I'm craving that are plan safe that I can have. The whole prosciutto salami kick has been great. They are foods that make me feel like I'm being indulgent, but really aren't. Love it.

Feedback:
I tried to cut back today. We bought fat free milk and greek yogurt at the store. I was sick during breakfast and lunch. I'm not sure what happened, but I think it was something I ate. I was embarrassed to say that, since they had gone to so much trouble on all the food. I'm pretty sure it was the stuffed shells, because that was food we ordered from a delivery service because our car was out of service.
Dinner was at Olive Garden. I have discovered there really aren't that many options for me there, so I just let go of it. I enjoyed it. It was very tasty. I'm not going to lie! I just can't imagine eating like that all the time. All the entrees there are high in points. I had the apricot chicken once, which is a light option, but I didn't care for it. I only ate half of my entree.
Since our car was broken down, I couldn't go to WW or the gym. :( It was snowing, so....I couldn't even go for a walk.

I flew out of state today for my first wedding shower. I had to fly to DC and then to Michigan. From previous trips, I know it's better for me to bring some treats that I know the point value of so that I can have some foods to look forward to eating and that are also "safer" options. Though not always low in points, at least I have something I will want to eat and feel more in control of when/if I do eat it. I did not pack nearly enough snacks. I should have made a sandwich for the plane.
The food was good at the shower. I got to try some things that are typically made in Michigan and that my fiancee really likes. It was nice to be able to eat the food they are used to, and it gave me some ideas about what to serve when they come to visit.
I had already decided to enjoy myself since I figure I won't be having any more wedding showers after this one (and the one back home) are over! That's what celebrations are for. I got to taste a bit of everything on the first go round and then the second time I only went back for the things I really liked the best, or just couldn't resist.
Lately I have been craving prosciutto and salami. I have no idea why, but they are fairly low in points and something I never would have eaten on the old WW plan. So I'm glad I can indulge these little cravings. My fiancee actually remembered me mentioning this and he is the one that bought the prosciutto for me. (I wouldn't buy it because it was too expensive for my taste.)
After the shower, we stayed up late when the ladies had slumber party for me. It was really fun. We played Uno and then Disney Monopoly. I got to play with my future sister in law, my future mother in law, my fiancee's aunt and one of his cousins. We had a fun time and got to know each other better. I think I had a song for every spot we landed on. If they were tired of my "Cinderelly" song, and my "Under the sea" and my "la la la la don't be shy, ya ya ya, you want to kiss the girl" songs, they didn't show it. :)

Anticipated Obstacles and Possible Solutions
I'm going to my wedding shower out of state for four days and I won't have a lot of control over my food. This is my plan. Go to the gym in the town where I will be (I checked and there is a YMCA I can use.) Get back on track upon returning to town. Relax and enjoy the vacation.
