More On Weight Watchers.

I am really proud of myself for sticking to this as well as I have. I am seeing the results on the scale too, today I weighed 159!

I wanted to share a sample of what I eat every day. I try to sort of stick to the same-ish things but mix them up in small ways.

Yesterday:

Breakfast was an everything bagel thin (3pts) with about 2 3/4 tbsp of whipped cream cheese. (i usually like to pack in pickled jalapenos for 0 pts, but i was out)

lunch was a half of a whole wheat pita pocket (2 pt), filled with 2 slices of turkey (1 pt), a hand full of spinach (0 pt), and a fried egg (2 pt), and about 2 tbsp of dijon mustard (0 pt)

for dinner I broiled salmon, I had 6 oz (7 pt), a bunch of broiled asparagus with a little olive oil (0 for the asparagus, 1 pt for the oil)

and a bloody mary (4 pt for 1 jigger vodka, 1 pt for 1 cup of spicy V8),

for dessert since I had extra points I had a WW chocolate cookie ice cream bar (4 pt)

i don't know why the box says 2 pts, mine says 4, and so does my weight watchers counter thing. whatever.

So that is a typical day for me. I am given 29 points a day and yesterday I came out to 28.

I love the pita's because they never get old and I can add things to them like jalapeno, pepperoncinis, cucumber, green pepper, or any other veggie to mix it up without adding in points. I also sometimes mix up breakfast, I'll have Special K with Red Berries, and I'll add fresh strawberries and bananas. I often eat fresh cut up cucumber, banana, or tomato throughout the day, but I was busy most of yesterday and didn't have time. I also find that the further into this I get the less I find myself hungry. The first week was real hard to keep it under 29 points, now it's pretty easy most of the time. And I try to keep myself from getting hungry by eating often and meals full of veggies. I still have the problem of not knowing when I am full. My body doesn't really tell me, "okay I'm getting full", I go from still hungry to so full I am going to puke very quickly. So i try to eat slowly and not eat too much in one sitting, and limit my portions per veggie even though they are zero points, because overeating on anything isn't good, even if it's healthy.
