Day 7-- 2/12

TIP OF THE DAY: One ounce of meat or cheese is the size of your thumb (tip to base)

Sorry I'm late with this post but here it is, Day 7 2/12;

OK my first weigh in is tomorrow!! Aaahhh. I think I did good for my fist week but the number on the scale will tell me the truth. Today I brought Dexter to the dog park and I had wanted to walk laps as he played, but my gym shoes (which I did not know) are not very good shoes to walk in the snow with. But I did 1 lap. By the time I was done with that lap my toes were wet and cold! And also today when I went to the doctors office I parked farther away then I would have and walked. Believe me that opened spot by the front door was oh so tempting!!

Also today I thought I would be a good wife and on my way home I stopped by McDonald's and got Scott a large Shamrock Shake and Dexter a plane sundae :) as I was waiting in line I was thinking to myself how just one cheese burger is only 7 points and I did have those points to spare. The aroma of the fries as I waited in line just seemed to call my name as well. but I said (yes out loud in the car) "Don't waist those points on this! FOOD DOES NOT FEEL AS GOOD AS SKINNY!!!!

OK, so that pep talk went well until I got up to the speaker and told her my order and as she asks, "Is that all?" I freeze and say, "ummmmmm.... (this is it, the time that i can say no I also want that cheese Burger and fries)...but instead I say, "ya that's all!" It was hard but I'm sure that at the end it will feel SO good that that was not part of my points!!

So here is what I did today;

BREAKFAST:
1 English muffin-2 points
4 sprays of butter-0points (yes I did get the spray butter. It has 0 calories! and still tastes good to me!)
1 Tbs. low fat strawberry cream cheese-0.5 points

SNACK:
48 pretzel sticks-2 points

LUNCH:
1/4 cup tuna packed in water-1 point (I am so glade that i looked at the serving size on that small can before I made it because I thought it was one point for the whole can...tricky.)
1/2 Tbs Mayo-1.5 points
1 Tbs. relish-0 points
16 wheat thins reduced fat-2 points

DINNER:
1 salad with 3 Tbs. dressing-3 points
1 chicken breast-3 points
2/3 cup mixed veggies-1 point
a little shy of 1 cup wild rice-6 points
1 glass of diet pop-0 points

DESSERT:
1 (homemade) weight watchers oatmeal cookie bites-1 point
1 weight watchers Strawberry Shortcake-4 points

I did today drink my 6 glasses of water (the 8oz glasses :)

TOTAL POINTS: 27 out of 31 points for the day.

I tried to go the whole day without drinking that pop but a few hours before dinner I started to get light headed and I am not sure if it was the lack of that pop or that I only had so little points through out the day. Any suggestions? Now remember before I started Weight Watchers I was drinking about 7 glasses of regular pop a day. Now not your normal 8oz glasses ether, I'm talking the big glasses of pop! looking back on that now (yes I know it has only been a week) but YUCK!!!

Tomorrow I will post on here how much weight I lost or gained after the meeting at 11am, so you don't have to wait until I post my daily blog at night :) Have a great day all.
