It's the weekend!

This week has been pretty busy with school and March only gets worse before it gets better so I'm happy it's the weekend even though I have a fair bit of work to do!

Didn't get much exercise this week and I'm afraid March could look very much the same but I stayed on plan so at least I'm doing something right :)

I was a few pts over this week because the first half I was still at home enjoying myself but not too much damage. As a result WI Thursday I was just down a little (0.2) however I got out of the 120s so that was pretty exciting. Adjust to 18 points has been tricky but I know I'll get used to it soon.

Today has been a good day so far...

2 pieces toast
1 tbsp nutella
yougurt

soup
1oz mozzarella

but tonight we are going to Boston Pizza. Still havn't decided if I'll splurge and get my all time favourite perogie pizza and use up most of my WP or if I'll behave and get spinach salad...either way I'm excited :)


Alright, I'm off. Hope you have an awesome weekend!

Monday Already?

Well Monday is just about wrapping up...hopefully this week passes quickly :)

The weekend was nice. I got a manicure on Saturday morning and then spent the weekend with DBF and my parents until I came back to my apartment at school. I watched what I ate but still ended up a little over points for the weekend. I'm trying to stick to just my daily points but today I was over by 2. Hopefully I can manage a loss or a STS this week again while going just a bit over in points (all on good things I might add)

Being back at school is stressful already, March is going to be a busy month. I know my exercise will take a back seat (I know, I'm bad) but I'm hoping to stay as on track as possible with respect to eating.

So that's about it for today...here's le menu:

Whole Wheat English Muffin
1 tsp light butter
1 tbsp jam
Blackberries

1 pt peanut butter bar
red pepper sticks
water

pasta
1 tsp oil
garlic
a couple tbsps of mixed cheese

1 piece of dark chocolate

whole wheat pita
hummus
green pepper sticks


mmmm carbs <3 haha that's all for today
have a good night!

Weekend

Happy Friday!

Today was my last day of reading week, it was nice :) But also sad lol My parents and I went out for lunch - it was awesome. I had hummus and half a falafel pita. It was fresh and absolutely delicious and I don't even care that it was a little high in points!

Then I made WW guacamole from the 3 month journal and hummus from the Quick fix book. They are both super good!

Then did some more shopping and got a few more nice things. So that felt pretty good.

All in all this week has been pretty relaxing and I'm sad to see it end. But I guess the term will be over in no time and it will be Easter!

Today's Menu

Instant Oatmeal with pure pumpkin stirred in

1/2 Falafel Pita
Hummus

Salad
Warm goat cheese
Dried Cranberries
1 tbsp almonds
1 tsp oil with balsamic

More hummus (homemade)

Lindor chocolate


Total: 22


Have a good weekend!

Weigh In!

Thursday is weigh in day. Despite being a tiny bit over this week I am down 0.6 to an even 120! Which means if I am good next week I should be in to the 110's! I have NEVER seen that on the scale in my adult life so I am feeling pretty good.

Today I went shopping in Toronto. Got 2 shirts for $15 and I feel okay about how they look. I also wore my WW pedometer and got 2 activity points. When I came home I was feeling energetic so I did my 30 day shred DVD. I'm on day 3 of level 2 and I am already finding ALL the plank stuff a bit easier. Maybe I just wasn't trying hard enough before.

For lunch I went to Lettuce Eatery and it was awesome! You get to create your own salad...I guess that isn't that exciting but I thought it was cool. They even ask if you want your dressing on the side so I didn't have to feel like a nuisance.

I went to Whole Foods to grab a few things I want to try but they were out. I guess I'll have to wait till I get back home in March some time (I'm home on reading week).

Today's Menu

1/2 12 grain bagel from Timmys, light cream cheese (5)
Tea

Salad from Lettuce Eatery (6)
Water

Tall Non fat mocha from bucks

Left over Tofurky (3)
Left over Smaceroni (4)

Chocolate Pumpkin Muffin (3)
Frozen Yogurt (2)
Tea

Total 23 - 4 flex

I guess once I leave 120's I will lose a point :( But I suppose that is a good thing :)

Almost the weekend! Have a good Friday

The Day Before Weigh In

So I've been a little bit off plan this week. But I decided to just relax a little and enjoy myself. I think I am maybe 10 points over. But that shouldn't be enough to see a gain. I'll admit I've been peeking this week and it's been alright so I am expecting to stay the same and that would be just fine by me :)

Going shopping tomorrow. Hopefully I will get some new clothes (and maybe notice a difference in how things fit!)

Okay so...

Today's Finds:

Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes - 3 points each. I wish I had made 24....I'm not sure why I didn't try and split them this way. That would have made them 2 points. Oh well. They are really good and much more filling than a cupcake. Even my Dad liked them and he isn't always interested in trying new things.

Tofurky - I finally made it! And it was much better than the meatless chicken breasts I tried earlier this week. I would definitely buy this again!

That being said, here is today's menu:

Cheerios (2)
Skim Milk (1)
Blueberries (1)
Tea

Couscous (3)
Chickpeas (2)
1 tsp oil, 2 tsp balsamic (1)
Carrots

1 choc pumpkin cupcake (3)

Tofurky (4)
Mashed Potatoes (3)
Green Beans

Another pumpkin cupcake! haha whooops! (3)

Total 23 - 4 points over!

Have a good day!

The Beginning

Alright here we go...

I've gotten in to reading weight loss blogs lately so I thought I'd try my hand at one myself. I'm a 21 year old university student. I have been fighting with my weight my whole life. When I was 16 I joined weight watchers and reached my goal of 125 right before I left for university. After many ups and downs I managed to get back to this weight and maintain for a year. Since I am only 5'2 125 is pretty close to the top of my healthy range so I decided to get back on the wagon and lose some more. I'm now at 120.8 and thinking my goal is going to be around 110 which means I'm down to the last 10 pounds!

I've been doing well and track everything since Christmas. This week was a little hairy with Valentine's dinner and being home for reading week but I'm taking it one day at a time just doing the best I can.

Tonight I made Smackeroni and Cheese for my family (minus the bacon - I'm veggie!) it was sooo yummy! I found a 1/2 cup was actually enough to fill me up.

So today's menu:
Cheerios
Blueberries

Tuscan Bean Soup
Weight Watcher Bread and Light Butter
Carrots

Smackeroni and Cheese
Salad with tomatoes and bocconcini, 1/2 tsp oil and vinegar

1 individual cheesecake (I made these from a weight watchers recipe)
Smartpop

That's all for tonight. I'll try and post some more interesting things soon :)
