i'll drink at least 2 litres of water a day. i'll eat all my veggies. i'll write EVERYTHING down!!! NO MORE FLEX POINTS (i lost track, but i'm pretty sure i dont have any left)!!! i'm also going to practice some dancing seeing as i start back at lessons in a couple weeks. <br /><br />me and a couple of the younger girls from my meetings are having a weight watchers dinner party on monday evening. it'll be sooo nice to not have any bad food tempting me and not having anyone harrasing me about being on a diet. i'm going to make mocha oreo mousse and angel food cookies. any suggestions for a good entree i can make?<br /><br />i just had a salad with "newman's own" low fat sesame thai dressing. it was seriously amazing and only 1 point per serving. it was such a good change from the low fat italian or ranch.<br /><br />i'm such a sleepy head. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:runway_honey:6361 2004-08-12T05:03:53Z 2004-08-12T05:03:53Z according to weightwatchers.com, the goal weight for my age and height should be between 109 and 125. <br /><br />is it just me, or does that seem waaaaay to low? as much as it would be wonderful to say "i weigh 125 pounds", i think i would probably look like i was starving myself. even in high school, when i thought i was pretty skinny, i never weighed less than 135.<br /><br />i guess i can talk to my leader next week and ask her what she thinks. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:runway_honey:6088 2004-08-11T06:45:44Z 2004-08-11T06:46:54Z i lost a whole 2 pounds more than my 10% this week. i dunno how the hell i did it, but i somehow managed a 4.6 pound loss this week. so i got my keychain and everyone clapped for me. it was awesome. i get to discuss a goal weight with my leader next week. i wasn't expecting to be setting my goal weight so soon. i'm so excited that this is actually happening. <br /><br />ok, here's the stats so far...<br /><br />Starting Weight: 185.4<br />Last Week: 170 <br />This Week: 165.4<br />Loss/Gain This Week: -4.6<br />Total Loss: 20.0 urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:runway_honey:5721 2004-08-03T23:35:57Z 2004-08-03T23:41:05Z so, week 8 weigh in and... <br /><br />i stayed the freakin same! aaaarg! i know it's better than a gain, but i'm so friggin close to my 10%. <br /><br />this week i'm following the program like it's my first week all over again. drinking all my water, eating all my veggies and WRITING DOWN ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!!!!<br /><br />that's right you stubborn little 2.6 pounds! you'll be history soon! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:runway_honey:5494 2004-07-29T03:54:31Z 2004-07-29T03:54:31Z yesterday i skipped my meeting and went to the beach. it was so much fun, even though it was too chilly to swim. i told myself i was going to enjoy all the beach food i wanted without feeling guilty, and boy did i eat. here's a list...<br /><br />cheeseburger<br />poutine<br />raspberry frozen yogurt<br />a medium veggie pizza (except for 2 pieces)<br />a dairy queen mocha moolatte<br /><br />man, did i get a wicked stomach ache, but it was so worth it. :D<br /><br />i went to the weight watchers office this morning to weigh in convinvced i would have gained from yesterday, and i was down 1.6! woohoo!<br /><br />15.4 pounds down! so far. less than 3 pounds til my 10%. i'm a happy panda! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:runway_honey:5160 2004-07-25T03:04:28Z 2004-07-25T03:04:28Z i must remember to make this tomorrow....<br /><br /><a href="http://www.weightwatchers.ca/food/rcp/index.aspx?recipeid=50645">YUM!!!</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:runway_honey:5102 2004-07-22T05:13:00Z 2004-07-22T05:13:00Z here's some things that have impressed me the past little while...<br /><br /><br />kernals low fat caramel popcorn - 3 points for 2 cups (yum yum yum)<br /><br />the pita pit has this cool online tool where you can build your own pita and it tells you the exact nutritional value. too bad my friggin falafel was 11 points. hahaha. <br /><a href="http://www.pitapit.com/?page=pt/">check it out!</a><br /><br />the whole wheat chicken mcgrill from mcdonalds is really yummy (and only 6 points!)<br /><br />"smart scoop" frozen fudge bars - 2 points each and so chocolatey delicious<br /><br />"our compliments" black forest frozen yogurt from sobeys - 2 points for half a cup and the chocolate/cherry mix is AMAZING!!!<br /><br />weight watchers bread - i got the whole wheat and it's yummy and only 1 point for 2 slices!!!<br /><br />the original mountain veggie burger - the patty's were huge and alot better than yves. each patty is 2.5 points and 1 burger filled me up.<br /><br />"sweet dreams" luna bar - by far my favorite flavour yet. too bad we can't get it here in canada. i'll have to stock up next time i'm in the u.s.<br /><br /><br /><br />and the thing that didn't impress me...<br /><br /><br />weight watchers just 2 points bars - the box of 4 bars was expensive and the bars are tiny!!!! no wonder they're only 2 points. they weren't even that good.<br /><br />ok, i'm done. good night! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:runway_honey:4726 2004-07-13T20:27:29Z 2004-07-13T20:27:29Z Start Weight: 185.4<br />Last Week: 174.4<br />This Week: 172.6<br />Loss/Gain: -1.8<br />Total Loss: 12.8<br />To 10%: 5.2<br /><br />yay! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:runway_honey:4598 2004-07-09T16:25:38Z 2004-07-09T16:25:38Z some important people are at my work this week, and we were told we had to dress "business casual" which really freaks me out. none of my dressy clothes fit me properly anymore and i usually end up crying before i figure out what to wear and then putting on my regular hoodie and jeans and dealing with the lecture i'll get once i get to work.<br /><br />anyways, yesterday, i grabbed this size 16 skirt i bought a few months ago that was a bit too tight on me and figured i'd try it on.
