The Skinny on Holly

Sitting on my couch and wishing the pounds away didn’t work, so it’s on to Weight Watchers

Day 3, 4 and 5 April 7, 2008

Ok, ok. So I already blew the “a post a day” thing.

This is a 3 day wrap up.

Friday was a pretty good day. Again, no exercise. (I totally suck)
But I stayed under my points for the day.

Saturday started off well. I had coffee and a bowl of Cheerios with banana and blueberries. When we arrived at the 9-yr-old boy birthday party, I grabbed a Fiber One bar and had 2 bowls of salad with oil and vinegar. Then, I started “picking”. I had a few honey wheat pretzels, but then I dipped them in ranch. Oops.

We left there to head to the 2-yr-old boy birthday party. This turned out to be a total disaster, food-wise, that is. My friend Suz made 2 different baked bries (one with maple/walnut and one with berries). So I had to try them both on some apple slices. I also needed to try some artichoke dip with pretzels.

I thought I was doing okay by staying away from the big ticket items (cake, ice cream) but I think I ate enough veggies (with dip) and oh yeah, a piece or two of pizza to pack on a few scores of points.

Saturday and Sunday, no exercise. I really suck.

But, I did have a new workout motivation. I ran into a woman at church who just came from a 5K. She told me about a “moonlight” run that happens Memorial Day weekend. I’m thinking of making that a goal. I’m going to look into how long the run is and if I can do it by then.

Needless to say, I got on the scale yesterday morning and weighed the same that I did on Wednesday.

Today is Day 6 and I might actually attend a WW meeting today. I know I won’t be happy with the weigh-in. I’m guessing it will be 5 lbs more than my last WW weigh in 10 weeks ago. Sigh.

But I’m still forging ahead. And writing about it. Good or bad.

 

One Response to “Day 3, 4 and 5”

  1. Good job surviving the party. I ate four pieces of pizza on Sunday night. No exercise as of yet (though I did do a ton of work around the house – that counts for something, right?)
