The Skinny on Holly

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

Day 9 of 53 April 11, 2008

Filed under: Spring Challenge, daily updates — holly @ 2:17 pm

Lesson of the day: carefully read the nutritional info on the package. For example, the WW quesadillas have 4 points on the box. There are 2 (half) quesadillas in the box. I heat up both for lunch and eat both – because only 1 was definitely not enough food. After lunch, I reread the box. 4 points is for 1. I had 8 points for lunch. Dammit.

Food:

Breakfast: fruit (pineapple, peaches, grapefruit, oranges and honeydew) with full-fat cottage cheese (I had no other choice)

Snack:
banana and Crys*l Light iced tea

Lunch: 8 point quesadilla (BTW – I can make a much better and bigger 4 point quesadilla at home) and a Diet Dr. Pepper

Snack: WW Peanut Butter Bliss bar (I’m still totally loving these – and Hungry-girl just did a write up on them)

Dinner: we had leftover pulled pork, which is terrible points-wise. But I just did a little bit of it (less than a cup) and I threw it on a WW English muffin. This was followed up with a salad (just lettuce and nuts) with balsalmic.

Exercise:
none again. I really suck. The time thing is very tough. I have been working long hours the past 2 weeks (leaving the house at 7:30 am and getting home around 7:30 pm) Every night this week, we’ve had company at our house around dinner. Plus, I haven’t been going to sleep until after 11 pm. The only way I will be able to get on the treadmill is to get up before 6 am. Ugh.

Weight:

Again, I am still not declaring official weight until my Monday WW meetings. However, based on my “just out of the shower totally naked weigh-in” this morning, compared to my “just out of the shower totally naked weigh-in” on Day 1, I am down 4.8 lbs.
