FOOD JOURNAL Week ONE

(week starts Friday) I have 35points a day (because of breastfeeding woohooo for those 12 extra points!) and 35 flex points for a week .

So I've decided to write out what I'm eating every day on here. It's ab it embarressing to look (and know that other people are looking) at what I'm eating every day, but I honestly think it'll keep me accountable. My first day is a bad one, I ate horribly. I'm a bit stressed and I didn't eat very good things. Tomorrow's another day right? I'll be adding the next days to this entry. At the end of the week I'll do a post about my progress, and off to start the next week in a new post.

So here goes, I'm not keen on this part of the journey- but in order to lose the weight I think it might take this!

I shouldn't be having to rely on my activity points (and havinga LOT of activity points and STILL being over my daily point value and having to dip in to flex points- I'd like to get to the end of th eweek and only have used up 20 flex points... We'll see.

I did better today, I didn't snack between meals, I was so busy I didn't have a chance.

This week is going to be a landmine in the weightloss world. Tomorrow is the hubby's birthday- I'm just making him a nice meal for supper so it shouldn't be so bad. but Tuesday we're going out for Same Age Day (the one day a year we're the same age) and we're going out to celebrate our Birthdays at Carrabas: DELICIOUS FATTENING FOOD- Lots of Garlic (does that counter act some of the fat?!). :0/ Wednesday is my bday... Thursday is the big huge Christmas Eve party at my Aunts house - lots and lots of food. Friday is Christmas Day and start to finish there will be SO much food. I need to save all my flex points for Tuesday and Thursday two days. I realize trying to use only 10 this week would be nearly impossible. And thankfully Friday starts a new week of flex points so I can eat mostly how I want that day as long as I'm willing to be frugal the rest of the week. I am pretty concerned about the Night out on Tuesday. My plan: get online and check out the menu/nutritional facts so I know how much I can eat with out blowing the week. The oly good thing about being broke is that Ryan and i have learned to eat out CHEAP even at expensive resteruants... We share an appetizer and split one of their personal pizzas and we are stuffed to the gills and we get of there only spending $20+ tip- and we're stuffed beyond belief because of the free bread and the massive portions. And I checked the website- they don't have nutritional info :0/ hmmmm... gonna think on this.
