Yesterday was a pretty good day - diet-wise.  I was ravenous at work and didn't bring enough to eat.  Note to self: figure out healthy snacks and bring them!

My successes include: not eating the spice cake Em brought in - even though I was super dooper hungry!  I was hungry at bed time, so I went to bed!

Failures include: snacking on Cheese Nips while making the boys' lunches - and NOT tracking them.  Eating my favorite (fattening) snack that will remain mentionless but carries about 6 p.p.  But, I had 14 activity points so I figured I still ended the day on a good note!

Today...  no exercise yet.  If I'm running out of points (or run out) then I will hit the gym tonight.  I should probably anyway... but at some point I need to do Christmas cards, lesson plans, play with the children, clean the house, shave my legs, ya know, the normal stuff.

The Plan

I have tried to lose weight many times.  I have tried different plans and Weight Watchers somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 times.  I exercise at least 3 times a week - I jog about 5 miles on Wednesdays and do a program called Insanity on Monday and Friday.  I would like to run another marathon, but I can't seem to get motivated to run more often - that and the hamstring issue.

Anyway, this blog is a place for me to keep track of my weightloss journey.  I would like to lose 40 pounds.  But I'm not sure if that is even possible.

I am following Weight Watchers and I know the success is in tracking what I stuff in my face.  Especially since stuffing my face seems to be my biggest problem!

Weight Watchers just introduced their new program: Points Plus.  So far, I've had 13 points - and that's a lot for breakfast, but I was famished from the whole workout thing.

Successes: Mark bought ice cream.  Fortunately, he bought butter pecan and that is not my favorite. So, I didn't eat any!  Yea me!!
