Wednesday, December 15th

Weigh-in, lost 2.2 pounds. 

When I plugged in my loss on the Weight Watchers website this week, the warning returned about how I am losing weight too quickly.  I noticed that my average weekly loss is 1.4 pounds--well within the 1-2 pound healthy range.  Upon further investigation, I figured out that I am receiving those warnings because I am still a nursing mom.  I talked to my doctor before starting the program, so I feel okay about ignoring these warnings from now on.

Healthy behaviors to report this week that contributed to my loss...nothing out of the ordinary.  I have been battling a cold, so I actually skipped 2 workouts at the gym.  I also had a great splurge dinner with my fellow MAC artists at Buca di Beppo on Sunday night to celebrate the holidays.  Other than that, I try to make good choices when I have to grab fast food.  Subway is always the best, but variety is the spice of life.  I order a plain double cheeseburger at McDonalds from time to time (no fries, just a diet coke).  A bean burrito and classic taco at Del Taco also tops the list of favorites for me.

Today at my Weight Watchers meeting, my leader asked me to comment on the new Points Plus program since I have been consistent in my weight loss lately.  I really think she choose the wrong person to speak!  I admitted to the group that I haven't been tracking and I just repeat meals that worked for me on the old program.  She challenged me to track the points of the meals that work using the new system, but I just don't think it will happen until I have a bad week at the scale.  She continued to say that the group of people who are not embracing the new program will end up splitting off from the others and there will be division in our meetings.  Geez!  I will give it some more thought.
