She's a beauty isn't she? She is my baby.
Breakfast for me was 24 points which is just crazy. It was tasty but I hate spending that many points on one meal. I'll stick to mostly Power Foods the rest of the day. It was interesting to eat something that was that heavy on my stomach. I can feel all the butter and other stuff. I don't want to do that very often. It's not worth it to me. I do have 14 points left for the day plus my 49 weekly points so I'm not lacking points for the rest of the day.It would have been even more if I had eaten everything on my plates. I left at least a third of my meal.
My stomach is bothering me though. I'm not sure why. It hasn't been that long since I ate restaurant food. I'll just take some Tums and I'm sure that will take care of it.
We're going to the movies later today. We're going to see "Chimpanzee". I'm really looking forward to that. I haven't gone to the movies in a long time. I don't think I'll get any snacks though. It would just bother my stomach. I've had enough to eat for a while. I'll stick with fruit and veggies for the rest of the day. The lower point foods will get me through the day without going over my daily points.
At one of the meetings Dori and one of the members was talking about using your 49 weekly points because when you get to goal you want to be used to using them. If you don't use them until you get to goal then you may gain weight back. I just feel like I'm eating so much already. I want to make good choices so I need to find higher point foods that aren't junk food. Doing that will get me ready for maintenance and being a lifetime member. It's weird to eat so much food and still lose weight. I can eat a lot more healthy food than junk. Junk food is just so high in points and totally not worth it. I think that I'll be happier as I move down in points as I lose weight. I pretty much have to make myself eat to use up my 41 daily points. The lowest a person can go in points is 26. I won't be there for a while though.
My allergies are really bad again today (for the bazillionth day in a row). I think I don't want to eat much because I don't taste food like I should because of the allergies. The allergy medicine only works for a few hours. I take medicine about every 4 hours. It makes me drowsy. When I wake up I'm hungry. That's new for me. I'm famished when I wake up from a nap or in the middle of the night. Luckily I have my mini bars for snacks and they are only 2 points.
My plan is not to get snacks at the movies. Hopefully I can be strong and stick with my plan. I'm not hungry at all right now. I may ask David to go to the 10:45am movie instead of the 1:10pm movie. Either one would be fine but I'd like to go so we'll have more of the afternoon to just kick back.
I'm wearing my big jeans today and they are a little loose. I have another pair of jeans that I can wear as soon as I lose about 10 pounds I think. I can wear them now but they are way too tight and uncomfortable to sit in. I can tolerate standing in them but sitting is painful. It's nice to wear jeans though because pretty much every day I wear stretch pants and a tee shirt that are very loose. I don't look good in them but it's better than wearing tighter clothes. I didn't get the closet cleaned out yesterday so I may try to do that later today to get some AP's. I also didn't finish up the laundry so I need to do that today too. Oh yeah, and the dishes. Yikes! I have a lot to do. I'll just do what I can. I can do some stuff tomorrow too. The house cleaner comes tomorrow at 11am. I'll go to my 9:30am meeting and will be home in plenty of time to let Maria in. I'll leave the doors unlocked just in case I don't get home in time though.
That's it for now. More later.
