Today's Progress

1.  Drink water every day for lunch. 
Somewhat less successful than yesterday, but I still drank water for lunch!  I just didn't seem to drink as much today.  Still had some headache around my way home from school.

2.  Get up TWICE this week and go to the gym before school.
I DID IT!  And it was great!  I got out of bed just after 6, threw on my sneakers, brushed my teeth, downed a small glass of water, and headed out the door.  It was still dark when I left... and still dark when I was done, but that was OK.  There was no one in the gym, so I got my choice of treadmills.  The workout went fine- my ONLY complaint would be that I didn't have the extra leisure time to do another 5-10 minutes of walking like I sometimes do.  However, I was not sore and I didn't feel any more tired the rest of the day, even later in the evening.  I might even say that I felt more energized in the AM.  I will definitely be repeating this on Thursday.  I think that next week, I might aim for MWF instead of TTh. 

3.  Count my Points each and every day. 
I ate 33 points for today, and counted everything.  I need to get back into the swing of measuring things though.  I AM a Foods teacher, so I'd like to think I can eyeball pretty accurately, but I know it's not exact. 

4.  Control my afternoon snacking.
Another success!  I did not eat anything for an afternoon snack, despite having packed a piece of fruit.  I even turned down red velvet cake at my faculty meeting.  I was ready for dinner when I got home at 6:30 though.

5.  Incorporate more lean protein in my diet.
I ate peanut butter at lunch time, which is higher in Points but is my absolute fave in life.  It was National Peanut Butter Day, how could I pass it up?  I ate leftovers of White Chicken Chili for dinner, so that was a good choice here. 

I feel positive about how the past two days have gone, and I'm glad to be back on track with WW.  I'm hoping to see a loss on Saturday!  I know I can do it.
