I need to get back to posting daily. It keeps me on track better.
Thanks to Jocelyn, I’ve decided to try the Core plan for a week or two. I did pretty well yesterday despite not having much on hand in the fridge.
I like being able to not worry about how much I’m eating and I have the 35 extra points for my little “necessities”. But I am going to try to curb those little munchies.
Last night, Lois ran to the store and picked me up some turkey, cereal, fruit, etc. The cereal that she got me is a Stop.and.Shop brand fat-free raisin bran and it’s not bad at all.
Today, my pickings include a banana, necterine, grapefruit, grilled zucchini from last night, deli turkey, sugar-free jello, fat-free cottage cheese, Diet Dr. Pepper, Lipton white tea and some other assorted things. I think I’m in good shape.
As for the weigh in, I actually didn’t do too terrible. I gained .4 this week. Based on the fact that all of my weight loss last week was fluid, I am surprised I didn’t gain it all back.
I am currently 174.4 lbs.
I need to restart my plan to do the “couch to 5k” running program. Based on our ridiculous bedtimes, 5:00 am wake ups is not possible for me right now. I need to do it at night and I’m going to start tonight. Come hell or high water.
How’s everyone else doing??!?!?
I’m glad you’re giving Core a try!
I don’t want to rain on your parade, but deli meats are not considered Core. I’m not sure why…maybe too high in sodium? I was disappointed by that at first. But now, I’ve found other kinds of “easy” meats. I’ll grill several chicken breasts and keep them in the fridge to put on salads or in a wrap or diced up in soup. You can also used canned tuna or chicken.
Also, for Core cereals, they have to have no sugar added. And raisins aren’t Core. Now, of course you can still have those things, but you’ll have to count points. Sorry!
I was also thinking about doing the C25K program, but I still feel too big to run (in front of others). I have, however exercised EVERY DAY for 11 days in a row! That’s probably a record for me.
Which day do you weigh in?
found this site a few weeks ago and it kinda prompted me to start ww again. i did it 3 years ago in order to loose weight to get pregnant…..now the baby is 19 months old…..and i am almost back to where i started ww 3 years ago. i am 168 now. i need to get to planning…….and buying fresh food. oh and its so hard not to eat what the baby doesnt finish!!!!
I had my weigh-in today, and I was down 2.2 for a total of 51.8 since starting in November. I’ve lost 8.6 in the last three weeks since switching to Core.
How are YOU doing?
