Here Comes Christmas!

Here comes Christmas! Tomorrow we leave for my familys house for Christmas and I know there will be lots of food around, but I'm going to do my BEST to keep to the plan. There's been plenty of times I've said "Its Christmas....Its thanksgiving...Its a birthday..." and ate whatever I wanted. So, guess what, the food will ALWAYS be around. Its time to say NO and do what's best for yourself.

I feel like I haven't been eating the smartest, but I've been doing a lot better than I normally would. :)

I need to find a thread and see how people generally divide up their points during the day. Like breakfast x points, snack x points, lunch etc. What do you DO? I'm not sure what I'm doing so far.

But I'm finding that I tend to eat more during the late afternoon and then when hubby comes home, then dinner again. So I need to watch what I eat in the morning and late afternoon. Maybe more water to sip on to keep from snacking.

Weight Watchers

So I joined online WW again - this time NOT pregnant. haha And I'm going to be writing down my thoughts and how things are going here. So if you DON'T want to hear about it, go away. Or something. ;)

WEEK 1

So I lost 2lbs this week. Hopefully that's not just because I finished nursing and the normal fluctuation of body weight. Its been challenging because I've had 2 Christmas parties and a date night with my hubby. For one of the parties I planned ahead and saved most of my points for the evening - yay me! And that worked well.

For another I mostly did the same thing, and tried to eat well, but kind of failed. :( But I DID track it all, so at least I was faithful in that.

This week is Christmas week here in our families. Christmas starts tonight for the in-law family and tomorrow is Christmas dinner, and then christmas with my family later on this week. So its going to be hard.

In other news, I discovered that progresso light soup is REALLY good!!!!! Yay for low point soup that DOESN'T taste like canned soup, and Steamers vegetable bags. Mmm. :)

I love eating eggs in the morning, they have a high point counts, but that's ok. At least they're good for you.
