Last night I was hungry. Not stomach hungry but head hungry. I kept drinking decaf coffee and water. Eventually I went to bed. I honestly didn’t want to fight it anymore. But it was a success because i didn’t give in to it. What do you do when you get hungry but you know it isn’t true hunger because you just ate??
Back to today.
Today I’m working 2-10. I get a lot of running around at work so I don’t go for a walk on the days I work. That doesn’t mean I don’t do anything though!

Dumbell chest press 2 x 10 5 lb
One armed dumbbell row 2 x 10 5 lb
Bicep curl 2 x 10 5 lb
Tricep extention 2 x 10 5lb
Lateral raise 2 x 10 5 lb
Squats x 20
Front lunge
Bicycle
Superman x 10
Today’s nosh:
Breakfast: protein pancake with banana, peanut butter and coconut. Almond breeze for coffee I should know better. I’ve tried a few times to make this protein pancake with cottage cheese and it always fall apart.
Lunch: 2 tortillas, very lean ham, light cheddar cheese slice, blueberries, cantaloupe and veggies
Dinner: 1 cup whole wheat macaroni, 1/2c tomato sauce, lean ground beef, taco seasoning

This morning I had to do something I hate to do. Not eat!!!!! Or have coffee. I did however take a coffee with me.
I needed to have some blood work done for the new Dr. and I also needed to get a mammogram done. What I ended up doing was blood work, heart test and no mammogram because I was sent to the wrong place!
I walked a bit to the clinic then on the way home I was 30 minutes early for my bus so I walked around the mall a bit. I also got off the bus a bit early and walked. As of 11 am this morning I already had 5535 steps!
This afternoon Ralph and I went for a bike ride. I lasted 50 minutes before the heat got to me. I did see a bunny rabbit but Ralphs bike scared it away.
Guess what this weeks focus was at Weight Watchers getting in extra movement! I think I’ve done pretty good so far.

So how did week one with Weight Watchers go??
My workout plan for this week:
Friday: weights Done
Saturday: yoga Done
Sunday: may get some walking or biking in but it will mainly be a rest day Done
Monday: interval walking Done
Although I started on Friday my weigh in’s are on Tuesday because that’s when I go to my meetings. So this week was only 4 days! What amazes me is that I still had a great weigh in. I’m down 4 lbs since Friday!! I know it’s due to less sodium but I’m still very happy with it.
Love these shoes!!
What I did this week:
I drank at least 8 cups of water everyday.
I wrote down every taste, lick and bite that went in my mouth.
Weekly point allowance used: 7
Weekly point allowance balance at the end of the week: 42
Activity points earned: 19
So far I’m really happy with the plan.
On to week 2

Dumbbell chest press 2 x 10 5 lb
One armed dumbbell row 2 x 10 5 lb

Tricep extensions 2 x 10 5lb

Monday is when I hook up with my walking group. The funny thing is that I get a pile of walking in before I meet up with them!
Today I needed to stop at a health food store to pick up some tortilla’s and living cilantro. I love these. The tortillas are only 1 point and the cilantro is so fresh and stays that way for quite a while.
Then I stopped by Starbucks to get my regular iced Americano with sf mocha and a splash of non fat milk! I’m drooling just typing that Yes I really do enjoy that drink. Then I walked around the park until I found a bit of shade to eat my lunch with the ducks.
This Weight Watcher week is only 4 days because tomorrow’s going to be my regular weigh in day. I’ll post a weekly update tomorrow.
Today’s nosh:
Breakfast: 1 cup of cream of wheat, 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed, blueberries and almond breeze for coffee = 4pp
Snack: fresh juice made with beets, carrots and ginger today! = 1 pp
Lunch: 3 bean summer salad danicasdaily.com/recipage?recipe_id=
6029039 , tortilla and an iced Americano with sugar free mocha and fat free milk = 8pp
