Yeah so what was I saying about the first day being the easiest? Blah. I have poor will power. Had my brother and his gf over for dinner last night and decided to have a couple shots. I had thought what I had read earlier in the day had said that liquor was the equivalent of 2 points on weight watchers.. I was wrong. It's 4. And let me tell you... that adds up quick. I ended up using 19 of my extra allowance points on liquor. Geeesh. I'm thinking I'm just gonna quit drinking all together.

I have no desire to do anything today. That's probably because I was bouncing around the house like a sugar induced hyper active 5 year old until 2am this morning. I don't get it. Most nights I'm zonked out by 10. I have to stay motivated. Make myself stick to getting off my lazy ass and doing something. I'm sure I'll have more to write later... I might go catch a couple more Z's and try to restart my morning.




Ok so today ended up Fabulous! I did not go back to sleep. I got ahold of my bestie AP and we decided we would go to the Y and swim with her 2 yo. At this point, I was starving. It's gonna take a lot to get use to eating breakfast when I should because then I'm hungry every 2 hours during the day when I do. But hey, means my metabolism is kicking into gear and I like that! So stopped at the store and grabbed a WW meal (Rigatoni with Chicken Alfredo and Broccoli, YUM) for 7 points. Ate it at the Bestie's and then we waited for AL to show up. She does and then we begin our journey to the Y. At this point it is me, AL, AP and her daughter... and her daughter's baby stroller and doll, a backpack, a duffle bag and another bag... We looked like gypsies I'm sure. This was no ordinary walk either. Auntie taught AP Jr to pick dandelions even though her mom had just taught her they were weeds (yay me I'm smart). Auntie also scared the crap out of AP Jr with a dead worm (in my defense, the child was sitting there picking up ants with her bare hands before we left the house for the walk). I can not even tell you how many times the damn baby doll stroller got stuck on cracks and crevices. About 2 blocks away from the house, AP Jr decides she is totally disowning said baby doll and it's stroller lol. To sum it up, it was amazingly fun :)

Swimming was fun, always is with AP Jr. I love swimming. It's my favorite way to exercise (well, second favorite ;p ) We were there for quite awhile. Oh yeah and Auntie did another awesome thing today... we were in the locker room and AP Jr was hiding in the lockers and I was talking to AP and AL and said "shit" and all of a sudden AP Jr is screaming "Shit! Shit! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!" from inside the locker... I was horrified but then the three of us lost it because it was freaking hilarious. Then we went to Applebee's and I got this Creamy Chicken with spinach and rice pilaf. Def had my doubts and I looked enviously on to my besties who had some amazing looking food. Turns out, my meal was absolutely delicious! I loved it! Best part was, I didn't feel guilty or tired or stuffed when I got done eating it!

I also picked up some Special K Southwestern Ranch crisp chips. They are sooo good. Only worth 3 points a serving (the serving size is 27 chips and they are a decent size).

Def proud of myself today. Thanks to all my ladies (and men) that have supported me today. Looking forward to being able to make good choices again tomorrow. Weather permitting, I'm heading over to AP's again so the three of us can go for a walk.

Hope you all have a great night! Get some good solid rest!

  1. One of the things I've read is that its not about getting rid of all the things you enjoy i.e alcohol or soda, or any of those other things but making sure that they are all in moderation. You know they aren't good for you but you enjoy them. Limit yourself to one drink a week or so. I cut out pop (read tried to) but I still have one every now and then. That way you can eventually if you desire stop it all together :)
