P.S.

I added a fancy weightloss ticker down at the bottom - it is new, and it is starting from the point I'm at right now, this week.  So, it doesn't take any past weight loss into account at all.  I'm just starting here (at 173 pounds) and shooting to lose 25 pounds, down to 148.  I don't have a timeframe set for that... but I'm hoping that I will just start to slowly lose and continually lose till I'm there - no more gaining for me!!! That is the most important thing to me right now.

SMART goal for this week

I weighed in a TOPS last night - lost 0.2 this week.  Guess that's something.  But what I'm here to share is that this week's SMART goal for me is: TO TRACK WHAT I EAT!!!  This has been on my list of goals for a verry verrrrrry long time, but I haven't done it for more than a day here or a day there for the past few months.  I've been rocking the exercise lately, and I know that if I were to actually get my eating under control, the pounds would just melt away because of the exercise I've been doing. 
I've been trying to use WW online to track and for some reason, that's not really working for me.  So, I'm now trying out myfitnesspal.com - which, incidentally, is FREE OF CHARGE!!! Why would I ever stick with WW online and pay money when I could do the same thing for free at myfitnesspal?? I don't know. 
So, this day, today is the first day that i am actually tracking everything - and I'm doing it over there at myfitnesspal.  If you're on there, feel free to add me - colleen_p is me.  I'd love to have you there with me.  :)
And I will report back here on how the tracking is doing - I really really wanna stick with it this time.

Monday

I liked that yesterday got me kickstarted on tracking - I actually prefer to do all my tracking at the weightwatchers' website, so I'm not going to do it here again unless I find that I'm not doing it there again!  I hadn't written anything down today and realized that I was headed towards not tracking again, so I just sat down and thought it through and wrote it all out - so thank you to you invisible forces that are now motivating me to stay on track.  I appreciate it! :)

Sunday, April 10th

I have a whole post I want to write about my goals that I had below - but that's gonna have to wait.  I'm only here today because I NEED to get back on track with my food tracking.  And so, I told my accountability group that I would post my food for today here, and so here I am...

Today, so far, I have eaten:
1 eggo with 1C of diced peaches and 1 TBSP of fatfree cool whip (total of 2 points plus)
3 bites of Elan's eggo with sliced bananas and coolwhip (1 point)
1 "swig" of Elan's 2% milk... maybe 1/8 C? (1 point)
16 or so pita chips (2 point)
3 TBSP hummus (3 points)
1 apple (0 points)
Extreme Pita - Small Whole Wheat Veggie pita with feta cheese and vinagrette and also a cookie (drank water) (total 9 points?)
3/4 of a veggie burger with fat free cheese and bbq sauce (other condiments were 0 pointers) (6 points?)
1/3 C macaroni salad (3 points?)
5C popcorn and coke zero (hmmm...4 points?)
For a total of 31 points
I have 28 per day, with also 49 flex points per week, so I've used all my points, plus 3 flex points today.
