Lunch was yummy

I just finished lunch. I had a nacho plate (tortilla chips, cheese and pico de gallo) and ice cream for dessert. I don't feel bad about the ice cream today because it's well within my points and I decided to have some it didn't just happen. Last night it would have been over my daily points and would have been because I was bored. Today I planned for it and enjoyed it. Now I am quite satisfied and won't have anything but a piece of fruit for a snack later this afternoon. It's 1pm and David is still at work so I decided to go ahead and make my lunch. I can fix him something when he gets home.

I'm 16 days into the program and still tracking everything. Usually on a diet I would have given up by now but on the WW program I don't feel live I'm being denied so it's much easier to follow. It really is something I could do for a long time. That's the kind of plan to be on. A diet make you feel deprived and that just leads to wanting things even more (at least for me it does). But on WW you can fit in anything you want to eat. Even a splurge is planned for with the 49 weekly allowance points. I try not to use those though and I don't plan on swapping my activity points for food either. That will hopefully guarantee that I lose 1-2 pounds a week. That will be sensible weight loss and weight loss that will stay off. Losing it too quickly just means putting it back on quickly plus a few pounds. I want this to be weight loss that lasts.

David just got home, I made a nacho plate for him. It's nice to have him home. I still have things to do though (get the clothes out of the dryer, the dishes out of the dishwasher and homework for Alicia). The back of my right knee is feeling stiff so I'm stretching it every time I get up. Just a little stretch nothing major. I don't want to make it worse. I don't have any workout scheduled for tomorrow but depending on how I feel I may go to the Y after my WW meeting. I'll see how my knee is doing. Walking for 10 minutes and biking for 20 minutes is good exercise. I don't feel like I did myself in which is good. I did just about the right amount of exercise. I did just put some mineral ice on the back of my knee since it feels so stiff. Maybe that will help loosen it up. I took some ibuprofen too. With all of that it should be better.

I'm looking forward to the WW meeting tomorrow. I like the lady that leads that meeting too. Of course I do like all of the ladies. I don't think there's one that I didn't like. They all have their special things that they do that make them different. One of the ladies has you take a colored paper clip for each pound of weight you lose. I like doing that. I'm not sure I'll be going to her meeting though so I'll have to get some of my own colored paper clips and string them together as I lose weight. I have 7 right now. I need to pick up 1 more to be current.

I put a pillow under my leg to keep it bent . Hyperextending it makes it hurt more. Time to get some homework done.
