I didn’t report anything last week because I was super crazy with work and life.

I did go to the weigh-in last Wed but didn’t stay for the meeting.

I lost 2 lbs.

So, I’ve almost made up for the gain of the week prior. I’m still sitting at about 20 lbs down so far. Since May. Dammit. That’s it????

Stay positive Hol, it’s more weight than you’ve lost in years.

I have noticed lately (like I didn’t know it before) that I am a stress eater. When I am overwhelmed at work, I’m constantly looking for something to eat. Maybe it’s the ex-smoker in me. I don’t know.

I have had a few of the 100 calorie packs of snackies here and there, but I’m also really liking those Weight Watchers Fruities! It keeps me from hitting the candy machine for Peanut M&Ms.

Today, I am really cranky, crampy and PMSy, so it’s going to take everything I have to not go on a chocolate hunt.

I start off every day saying I am going to have a “good day.”

This weekend, with all of our events, I think I knew I wouldn’t be “great” but I was “okay.”

Saturday night at the club, I decided to forego my usual fried calamari and fettucini. Instead, I got an appetizer that consisted of 2 oysters, 2 clams and some crab legs. Then, I had the halibut for dinner and no, it was not stuffed.

 Yesterday was a “decent” day. I did, however, have 2 dinners.

Fiber One (Honey Clusters) cereal = 3

WW granola bar = 2

WW raspberry yogurt = 1

spinach salad = 5

Large iced coffee with skim and splenda = 1

WW TV dinner – Chicken Marsala = 4

Grilled zucchini and corn = 1

Stuffed sole = 7

Total: 24 points (my Target = 25)

My current goals:

A. Drink More Water

B. Activity

I know it won’t burn a lot of calories, but I’m going to hit the lake in the kayak tonight. I feel like I have a lot going on in my head right now and being down isn’t going to help me. Maybe some time on the water will help me out a little.

My newest finds

Kiashi Go Lean Crunch – Honey Almond Flax

It seems to be a lot of points (4 or 5) but it’s very yummy. It tasts like Honey Smacks. Remember those?

Oreo Thin Crisps – 100 Calorie packs

These are good. I really want to try these other 100 calorie snack packs: Lorna Doone, Planters peanut butter cookie crisps, Ritz snack mix, Cheese Nip crisps and I REALLY want to try the Nutter Butter Granola Bars.

Today is that day. Today is that one day of the month where I am bloated, crampy and tired and crappy and thirsting for salt, sugar, chocolate, grease and a nap.

ugh.

 Tonight is another WW weigh-in. I don’t want to even go. I feel like I’ve gained 4 lbs just from being bloated.

So far this morning I have had the following:

1 small DD toasted almond coffee with skim abd splenda = 1 pt

1 bowl Fiber One Honey Clusters cereal with skin = 3 pts

1 chocolate chip peanut butter WW granola bar = 2 pts

I will attempt to restrain myself from trolling the snack machine.

I’m so mad at myself for being bad this weekend.

Ugh.

Not another weigh-in until Thursday of this week. I better be REALLY good until then.
