Day 18

TIP OF THE DAY: Changing the way you eat means changing the way you think about food. Food does not have power over you. You have power over it!

I did not meet my goal today of working out. I woke up with a stuffy nose and a sore throat. So I just relaxed around the house with a klenex box for most of the day. At about 3 I decided to go to the library to check out some weight loss stuff. I got a Weight Watchers book titled Weight Loss That Lasts, Break Through the 10 Big Diet Myths. I also got 3 workout DVDs. They are Walk off the pounds, The Biggest Loser workout dvd, and yoga for dummies. I have always wanted to try yoga so why not one for dummies?! :)

So Like I said I did nothing today so lets take a look at what I ate;

BREAKFAST/LUNCH:
Veggie soup-2 points
Salad with 2 Tbs dressing-2 points
1 glass of flavored water-0 points

SNACK:
1 Cheesy Garlic bread roll-3 points

DINNER:
1 Chicken breast-3 points
1/2 cup of stuffing-3 points
1/4 cup cottage cheese-1.5 points
1 Tbs Thousand Island Dressing-1.5 points
1 glass of flavored water-0 points

SNACK:
2 cups popcorn puffs-2 points
1 1/2 cups honey combs cereal with 1 cup skim milk-4 points

DESSERT:
1 cup Chocolate Ice Cream (Just because I needed to get my points in)-7 points

Total points: 29 out of 31 points for the day.

I drank 5 glasses of water NOT counting the flavored water. I am working on my last glass of water now.

My goal/hope for tomorrow, if I wake up and can breath, is to do the Walk Away the Pounds DVD. Well have a good Wednesday!!

  1. I started yoga last year - a teacher at my school teaches us - and I really liked it. It is SO relaxing and a great way to end a stressful day at work. She is really enthusiastic about it and tells us a lot about the health benefits. Most of the teachers at my school are closer to my age than yours, but we do have some younger teachers who really like it too. Hope you feel better tomorrow!

  3. Hey Becky...why didn't you eat breakfast? You need to kick start that metabolism in the morning, and you will use up more points if you eat a healthy breakfast. Deb O.

  4. Robyn- I can't wait to stat Yoga! it is in my plans for Friday. I'll let you know how it goes :)

    Myra-Thanks!

    Deb-I know I should eat breakfast. Yesterday I got up and going late, all I wanted to do was sit in bed. But today I did have breakfast. Sometimes it's hard for me to get that in, I need to figure that out, Because if I eat breakfast I'm not hungry at lunch. That is going to take some getting used to. :) Thanks Deb!!
