losing weight

[Pen]

Good for you! Although we had all good intentions, DH and I came up with many reasons why we didn't need to go out and exercise today. Bad flabby Pen & DH       No pancakes though!

I'm counting calories and realized that at 1000-1200 I was still starved.. so I bumped it up... I thought no one can constantly walk around as hungry as I was and not give in.. BUT.. today dh begged me to go to Five Guys.. don't know if you all have them where you are but they are probably the best hamburger place on earth.  So I said ok, no mayo, mustard and grilled mushrooms and onions.  10 french fries lol I counted.. and now I shouldn't eat dinner as I was at my 1200 for the day, but I had a bowl of oatmeal and a yogurt so I'm right at 1500.  We took a long walk so hopefully that will work off at least 4 of the french fries.  Why oh why did God have to make the best food the worse food?

Ladies how can I read without commenting.  The Truth!!!!  IS....my comment to Penelopes post was a backhanded, upside down, roundabout way of saying "you can do better than that"  next time you have all that wonderful food on your table your willpower will kick in and you win the battle against the bulge...I like an add currently on TV (in Australia)  that say's willpower gets stronger the more you use it..I think that is right.     

 a Weight Watcher  guru friend of mine told me just 5 kilo's over your ideal weight is when you need to start with their programe, and make it a healthy way of life.     I think that is about 1/2 stone I'm not sure.    Well I like the programme because it is so easy.   I don't count calories but points.      For instance I should be on around 22 points per day.         To make it easier  a booklet gives you points of all common foods and restaurant and fast foods.    I live 1 hour from our town so I couldn't make the meetings.     So I knew about the programme and bought the points book on ebay.    For example a teryaki sub is 7 points, a Mcdonalds hamburger is 18 points, serve of medium fries is 12 (that's over 1/2 my daily limit)  a salad is 2 with a bit of chicken is 4 and bread is 1.  Glass of wine 2.  You don't do without it just makes you aware!!    I think it is easy.. 6 crackers with olives, sundried tomatoes and weight watchers cottage cheese absolutely delicious only 2 points (have that glass of wine with it!!).  Throw a walk in after dinner for 20 mins gives you a few more points to use through the day.    I find it works, just easy I guess,

bye now

I just tried some of those new (new to me) Grapples.. the apples that I guess are suppose to taste like grapes.. well I'm  not sure if they really taste like a grape.. but they are excellent apples.
