I think I can, I think I can....NO, I KNOW I can!

Well, it has been a LONG time since I have blogged about my diet. Wow. My last entry was on August 25th. Whew. It has been a crazy few months, and unfortunately the stresses of life have gotten to me, and I've gained 10 pounds. When I stepped on the scale, I literally wanted to throw up. :( No good. My clothes are tight, I can feel the weight. It has really made me down. BUT, the good news is that I know exactly what I need to do, and I know that when I am dedicated to losing weight, and follow my Weight Watchers plan, it works. So, I CAN do this! I am GOING to do this! I now have about 25 lbs to go, and I am determined to get there (and if I can get there by October 9th, my 10 year high school reunion, that would be the cherry on the cake).

Over the last few months I've tracked some days or weeks, and fall off the wagon and won't track for a while, and start tracking again. Its a vicious cycle. Anything has thrown me off track. Last week, I did great on Tuesday but got beautiful flowers and YUMMY truffles delivered to me on Wednesday, and the truffles ruined me. Delicious as they were, they completely threw me off course and now here I am, the following Monday trying to get on track again. I WILL stay on track this week. One day at a time. One pound at a time!

I have been very good today. Granted, it's only 7 pm....but I have 1.5 points left for today and I am confident I will not go over that. Here's what I had to eat today:

Breakfast:
Thomas 100 Calorie English Muffin - 1 point

Lunch:
Weight Watchers Smart One - Ravioli Florentine (very tasty) - 5 points
Fiber One Granola Bar (Oats and Chocolate) - 2 points

Afternoon snack:
Weight Watchers String Cheese - 1 point
Jello Sugar Free Mouse - 1 point

Dinner:
3.5 oz of pan fried tilapia (used a little lemon pepper and cooked with 1 tsp EVOO for 3 pieces) - 2.5 points
1/2 cup brown rice - 2 points
3/4 cup steamed veggies with 1 slice Kraft 2% singles - 1 point
Garlic toast made with a Natures Own White Wheat Hamburger Bun - 1 point

Dessert:
Weight Watchers Giant Cookies and Cream Bar - 2 points

Activity for today:
30 minute Elyptical Interval workout on a 2/4 - Earned 4 points

I still have 1.5 points left. Not sure yet what I'll do with them. Maybe I'll have some fresh strawberries and Oikos Greek Yogurt.

So, I think my journey is back off to a good start! I'm very excited and looking forward to seeing some results! Come on 25 lbs!

Until next time, happy life, happy eating.
