I weighed in Thursday...and gained another 1.6. I am not eating horribly...every day I say no to things. But, I am not eating well enough I guess. What is really strange is the pants that are looser...I feel good. But, a wake up call for sure. I am under 190 and want to stay there...and if anything get under 180 at some point. So...I think exercise is what I need to factor in. I try...but with school, work, and just day to day life...it is hard to get out there and exercise. I started Thursday...walking with a friend on her lunch break. It doesn't always work out...but it is something, and she and I have a similar pace. Also, I started tracking again...not just what I ate, but the point values. I am trying to get my husband to encourage me...and I am trying to encourage him. I have two co-workers who are also doing this...so we talked on friday and vowed to try and encourage each other, share recipes, share wins and losses...just so we know we aren't alone! Perhaps with all of this...I can be successful. Sometimes it just boils down to will power and that deep sense of WANTING...nothing else will really work.
So, today we had chicken sausage with roasted butternut squash and green beans for lunch. I am not a huge fan of squash. I am trying to learn to like it. Today it was roasted in the oven with butter (yep, I still use it), fresh thyme and kosher salt. I had a quarter of a squash...the other half was made into a butternut squash soup. The recipe came from this month's WW magazine...I just altered the recipe a little based on what I had, and taste. It will still be 1 point per serving, 1 cup of soup. I left out the cheese...and will top with some low fat plain yogurt or sour cream when I eat it!
Hope everyone else out there is not losing hope...it WILL happen, small steps!
