Wednesday, February 10th

Today was SUPPOSED to be my last day at BPs - I only gave my notice 2 weeks ago tomorrow - wow. But I managed to have no shifts since last Weds. and MAN, I'm loving it. Today, I got on the treadmill in the morning for the first time in a loooong time - because I'm finally catching up on sleep and not feeling dead tired all the time! Yesterday, I didn't nap in the afternoon, but worked on housework and stuff instead. Hooray.
Anyway, here's today:

Cottage Cheese -1

Back To Plan A

Nope, I think Plan A is probably still best...posting my points here, that is. I think I was deluding myself yesterday... (in order to get away with enjoying some treats at BPs last night!) :o)
SO, I have 6 days left in my week, so I will allow myself 12 more flex points to get through.
Thursdays Points:
Mini Wheats -4
Snack (mini wheats again... time to put them away, i think!) -1
yogurt and granola bar -2
cheese and crackers and apple -2
leftovers of kids lunches (Seriously Colleen? But it was easier than making my own lunch...) -2

lasagne -6
garlic toast and salad -3
smoothie -1
WALK +1
yogurt -1
LEFT: 0
(YIPEE, I DID IT!) :o)

On a Slightly Different Note

I read a post about HOPE today on the Stuff Christians Like site, and liked it enough to share it with you... click HERE to go read it.
p.s. I'm still here and alive - just not tracking online at the moment... finding it tricky to get my points on my blog throughout the day and that is offhandedly messing me up - so I think I might go back to tracking on paper... and maybe (?) reporting the end results here to you all at the end of the day? or at least the totals? Hmmm... I'll have to think about that.
Oh, and on another note, today is my last day at Boston Pizza, and I'm planning on ordering my favorite thing during my break tonight, since it'll be my last chance to eat there for 1/2 price... but I'll try to only eat 1/2 and take the other 1/2 home... :o)
Then starting tomorrow, its back to being a Stay-at-Home-Mom for me! (well, a working-part-time-at-home-mom, anyway)

Boo for the Weekend!

But today is a new day!
Its not that I went SO CRAZY overboard on the weekend, although I did definitely use some flex points (or maybe all of them). Its more so that I didn't track and felt out of control.
So, today is a new day, and I have today and tomorrow till weigh in and I will not just give up till Wednesday, so here we go.
I've determined that probably I used about 10 flex points per day on Saturday and Sunday, and so, I will allow myself one for tomorrow and none for today.
Monday's Points:
oatmeal and toast -5
muffin -2
cookie -1
leftovers -3
PB&J & milk -4
LEFT: 8

Isn't It Interesting

So yesterday I totally didn't write my points down at all after 8:45 am - and its funny how, by the end of the day, I felt like I must be SO FAR over my points that there's no point in trying anymore for the rest of the week... Then this morning, I went and figured it out - and yeah, I had gone over, but only by 7 and I still have more flex points left! So, this whole writing points down thing really is a good idea, I think - even if it helps you realize that you're not messing up as much as you think and you really should KEEP TRYING!!
So, for today (Saturday):
Points 23:
snitches of elan's breakfast -3 (what a silly use of 3 points! UGH)
