Good Luck

One:  Mimi - Good luck on your test Thursday.  Don't stress eat.  Workout instead.  I'm probably the last person that should be telling you that, but learn from my mistakes.

Two:  Tomorrow is Second weigh-in, lest we forget.  As such, I'm declaring today Skinny Tuesday.  So no Mardi Gras pigging out today, ladies.  Good luck at the scales.

In other news...since I discovered the sabotage that was my Weight Watchers spreadsheet on Sunday, I've turned myself into a Rabbit.  I went to Trader Joe's and stocked up on organic, all natural everything:  salad, tomatoes, artichoke, fresh green beans, fruit, and pretty much everything else Mother would approve of.  

So, I've been eating really well the last...well...yesterday.  I did well on Sunday, except JWalker had us over to watch the Oscar's and made us enchiladas.  I couldn't be rude, right??  Turns out ONE enchilada is a serving.  Not Two.  I thought this would be an excellent opportunity for a lesson in healthy eating.  I made a chart to demonstrate:

Keep in mind my daily point limit is 24.  On Sunday, I had one actual meal - dinner.  The enchiladas alone were 16 points.  It was the only thing of actual substance that I had all day.  Not to mention my Starbuck's trip cost me 11 points for breakfast. 

Compare that to yesterday.  I actually ate quite a bit, and still came in 2 points below my point target.  I did get lazy and popped a frozen pizza in the oven for dinner.  But, because I ate only what was in a serving, and not half the pizza like I normally would, it really didn't cost me that many points.  

Emily - I still haven't worked out this week.  But I swear I'm going to tonight. 
Kerri - where the heck are you??

Alright, I know I said no gorging today, but I'm going to go have another Diet Coke, since I can't have any more until Easter.  Plus, they're 0 points, so they don't count.  :)

  1. I won't be making it to the gym tomorrow b/c of too much studying/Church, so I'll weigh in Thursday and let you know!
