374.2

Down 5.2 for the week, down 8 bounds overall.  This is after being on the plan three weeks.  Also, this includes Thanksgiving.  So I am very happy.  After the first week on the program I lost 2.6 pounds.  But the first week is supposed to be easy, you are supposed to lose on the first week.  So, I was not overjoyed after week one.  I was reserving my optimism.  Well, here it is, I am optimistic.

I can drink a gallon of coke a day.

Not bragging, just putting it out there.  I could, if left to my own devices, drink a gallon of coca-cola a day.  Everyday.  Without effort.  I can do the same with milk and sweet tea.  I really like them all.  Cokes are my favorite.  Damn carbs.

I miss carbohydrates.

I miss carbs.  I miss cheese too, but doing without cheese is not hard.  I want to each chips.  Tortilla chips are my fav.  I really like them with cheese, you know, nachos.  But with salsa is just fine.  I could eat a ton of them.  I like bread too.  And spaghetti.  Damn I miss spaghetti. 

I'm sorry, did you say then have some?  See, apparently you are missing the point.  I am fat because I eat too much food.  I don't want some spaghetti.  I want LOTS of spaghetti.  I am sure that at some point I will get to the point of having SOME.  But I ain't there now.

Vegetables. Dammitt.

The plan I am on has all fruit and most vegetables as "free" foods.  I have been doing a very good job at night that when I am hungry outside of normal meal times, to eat vegetables.  They are good if you cook them correctly. 

Argh! Blogging is hard

Ok, it is not hard, finding time to do it is hard.  I need to post more.  Paperwork is my weakness.  One of the things that I need to do for my weight loss is to be vigilant about recording what I eat.  I do not do that and it kills me.  Argh.  I need to make a goal, a weekly goal to record what I eat. 

378.6

Down 2.6.  I am happy, a little.  The first week is supposed to be easy, you are supposed to lose weight the first week.  I was hopeful for more, but given that I had two days at mom and dad's house, land of whole milk and honey roasted peanuts, and less than healthy options while there, I will be content with 2.6.  I am holding out any real joy until next week.  If I have a loss next week, then I think I will let myself be happy, really happy about it.

My mom's house.

I went to mom and dad's house this weekend.  Since you might not know, my mom's house is an affront to Weight Watcher's Points Plus.  Whole milk.  Salt.  Processed foods.  Fat.  Carbonated cola nut beverages.  Carbohydrates.  Nary a vegetable in sight.  Sigh.
