No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!
Yesterday was good
With the exception of my not-so-great WI, Monday was a good day. I'm just getting around to posting about it because my Internet stopped working last night. Thank goodness it's back now.
I did some more thinking yesterday, and realized I had a lot of sweet snacks. They may have been just 1 Point apiece, but I went through two boxes of Mrs. Freshley's (one box of 100-calorie chocolate cupcakes and a box of the 100-cal oatmeal cream pies). That probably did nothing to help my trip to One-derland.
Another thought: I think I might try to cut back on my carb intake a little bit. I like those low-carb recipes, and cutting carbs did seem to help me lose weight faster. I'm not going back to full-on Atkins ... I'll still do WW, but I'll just watch the carbs a bit more. It certainly can't hurt.
And hopefully it'll help.
So far today, I've had leftover quiche with 1/2 a WW English Muffin topped with butter spray and sugar-free jam. Not bad, eh?
Here's last night's food chart.

100 cal oatmeal cream pies?? Omgodness...I HAVE to keep my eyes open for those! I used to be the biggest sucker for oatmeal cream pies back in the day...yumma! I just got hungry, lol. Well then again, it IS almost time for lunch ;)
I'm proud of you for not giving up, you CAN do this! You are already off to a great start today! Keep it up!

Tuna Melt Quiche? Where did you get that recipe? Can you please share? Is it as good as it sounds? TIA!
Good for you for staying focused after a "not-so-good" wi. Hopefully today will continue to be positive. Have a good one!!

First off, I would not say that Monday's weigh in was "not-so-great". You are doing a wonderful job with your own journey, AND you are helping me out on my journey...
Doesn't seem like we are always more forgiving to others than to ourselves? I wonder why that is. We can be so supportive to what others are doing, but if we do the same thing it is game over!
You are doing great!

And, I'm going to do this 3 day detox of sugar thing w/high protein. See if I can shake things up a bit. I love that you are so good at posting, I check your site almost daily! :) Keep up the great work, one-derland is only a week or two away at the most. :)
