Re-starting what wked

Ok once upon a time I was 145lbs..........I started weight watchers on November 2008 I lost 15lbs but stopped going to meetings and eating a bit much.Today I decided to re-start the point counting and did great =) EXCEPT..............I started dinner and part of it is french bread and I strated to pick at it (shame) Ok well let me start off on what goes on...

My daily allowed points are still 19 not including 35 "play points" meaning if I really want a treat I can use the 35 no more than that..(yes the bread is now part of it=I) Today I ate:

1/3 cup of oatmeal (2)
Coffee(2)
Pot stickers from healthy choice (7)-came with rice
Treats-WW cookie and cake (2) for both
I drank ALOT of tea!! and water....
Dinner is Tomato soup and parmesean toast the total is 3 for that (1piece and 1 1/2 cup)
I might not have the full 1 1/2 cup of soup but I am still counting the points I had 3 left over before I ate the bread ........So Im assuming I ate total today of 20 (just because I ate bread already and had 3 left over so Im thinking the bread was 4)

Ok so everyday I will make sure to stay within my allowed points and see were I am on Christmas Eve,I know I probable gained the 5 I lost but Im just going to move forward =)

struggles in winter

I didnt wkout on Monday or Tuesday, on Monday it mainly was because it was storming I originally was planning on making Southwestern Turkey Chili but Oni asked me to not go to the store and just go home and hell grab dinner for us.I got home and hubby grabbed rolled tacos and rice I ate 3 and a little rice and a pan dulce......... Tuesday I was ok with food I wasnt as careful but I didnt eat alot either....last night I did make the chili but I got filled with chips and salsa.This cold weather really makes it rough for me mainly because I LOVE goodies......anything baked Im ok with food I dont get to tempted I can control myself some with the food but with goodies its very hard!!! So today I was going through some old blogs on my myspace when I first started wking out....and I was amazed on how motivated I was!!! Made me think and I asked myself why Im not like that right now?? reason??? NONE!! The weather isnt a good reason so today I ate better.:

Breakfast:1/3 cup oatmeal wth cinnamon and my coffee

Lunch I wasnt very hungry I ate a protein bar Luna smores and an apple

Snack baked chips

Goodie-small kitkat (1 bar)

Dinner turley chili and corn bread

snack 2 tbs of salsa and 5 chips...

Doesnt seem like much and its not but I was very hungry today...........I drank tea and water I wked out and burned 400 calories I will slowly get back into it again its rough for me Im very hard on myself, but I know once Im back on track it will get easier.Thank you for reading!!

Very close

While on vacation I decided to wkout as much as I could and did 6 days in a row =) I would do my yoga which was 1hr and 30min long and then off to the gym for 30min so a total of 2hrs of a wkout !! It felt awesome to be able to wkout like that and it made me make better choices also on Thanksgiving I went to the gym and wkouted out for 50min burned over 500 cal also.On friday I woke up pretty early and went to the mall and did some shopping.Me and Genesis stopped and ate at El Toritos I already know what the least calorie plate they have so I ordered a Chicken Tortilla Soup and a side salad also a Diet Pepsi.I avoided the chips and salsa and just ate a couple and pushed they away,which is hard!! Well the soup was a bit spicy and I had nothing else to eat that day other than a light Jamba Juice (125cal) well later that day we were home and I had very BAD nausea!!! I went to bed at 3am in pain and it was hard to sleep.I woke up Saturday and I wasnt able to eat anything I determined I had the stomach flu =( why?? Ive had it before and I wasnt vomiting (I would drink water or get alot of air but I was close a few times) I didnt go to the Dr because one year I had a bad case of the stomach flu and the Dr I worked for gave me an injection of Phernagen..........well I was allergic!! So since its a common medication for the symptoms (nausea) I didnt want to waste my time going since I know I cant have it I know theres more meds for it but I dont want to risk being alleric to any other ones.Anywho I wasnt able to wkout the rest of the week since I was recovering on that Saturday we went to Long Beach to have another Thanksgiving (Puerto Rican style) I ate a few bits of rice and salad and turkey ALL DAY thats it =( By tuesday I was able to to finally eat and not be sick!! I weighed myself yesterday morning and I went from 137 (this was pre-menstrual) to 132!! so 5lbs lost !!I always get stuck on this weight,it becomes a struggle last night we went to celebrate a friends bday at a Hookah lounge before that we ate at Corner Bakery I had chicken noodle soup and half a turkey sandwhich light mayo on Whole Wheat bread and a coffee.After the lounge (please note I didnt smoke or drink I had turkish coffee) they wanted to eat at some yummy Chinese place it was DELISH!! It was late though sooo I know I gained and yup 1.6lbs but its ok I know its due to the late eating and bloating I feel.This morning I had just my coffee and thats it...........Im not hungry so its back to eating good and being more active =) thanks for cking up on me.
