Well, guess I did okay. So happy to not have a gain and that makes 12 straight weeks of a loss!!!! Woo Hoo!!!
Thanks all!

Had to skip WI...

My dh was gone and I just couldn’t get things coordinated enough w/both the kids by myself. Sooooooooooooo, wish me luck. I am doing it tomorrow and really want to do well but I am a little nervous. I was so hungry last week who knows how it will go. I am just hoping to not gain! Seriously, keep your fingers crossed for me. Thanks.

I think I figured it out!

So, I had to examine why I was so hungry yesterday and going back over the past few weeks (4 weeks to be exact) it has been like that every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and by Thursday I am fine. Well, I have been back to work for 4 weeks and I am still a nursing mom so on the weekends my daughter just eat whenever and a lot during that 10-3 time frame. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I think that my body has gotten used to producing a lot during that time and those first few days I am re-adjusting to only pumping twice while I am at work after feeding her on demand over the weekend. By Thursday I am used to it and just fine. That is why I think I am so hungry!
Sorry if that was TMI for some of you.
Anyway, thanks for all your suggestions yesterday. I will definately use some of them anyway. Now that I know I will be hungry next week for those 3 days I will be better prepared.

Why???Why am I so darned hungry?

The last few days have been rough. I have been STARVING during the day. From about 9am until about 3 pm I want to eat, eat, eat. I am finding filling foods and having them, and drinking a ton of water but nothing is helping.
I have gone home and had dinner and a snack and that helps but if I continue to be hungry like this during the day I am afraid I may just give in and have something I know I shouldn’t have! Too many points used there! Uggg!!!!
Any ideas? I have tried popcorn as a filler too and that isn’t working. I have gotten up from my desk and taken a good long walk. I have tried chewing gum, but besides making my jaw hurt it did nothing else. I have had a huge salad w/a bunch of wonderful veggies and some turkey on it for lunch today. I had 2 (1 pt) muffins that I made. I had grapes and some dried apples.
Uggg, looking at it I have eaten a ton but I am still hungry!!!! This sucks!

Call me coach!

Do you remember a couple of weeks ago I wrote about being called the WW Nazi? Well guess what? I am the only one of the group of 5 girls that called me that who has consitantly lost weight. One of them has asked me to “coach” her thru this week. I came in and told her several things she needed to do for the next week and how to track it so I can see it. If she doesn’t do what I told her to she has to come and clean my house for 8 hours.
Now, as much as I want her to succeed…a slave for 8 hours would be great. lol…seriously though, we picked something that we knew would motivate her to follow thru on b/c she does not like to clean.
Isn’t it funny how things work out sometimes?

Thanks to everyone for your support. It would definately be a lot harder to do this w/out you!

Chex 100 calorie packs!

Oh, these are yummy…the kind I got are chocolate and caramel. They are 2 pts each and just enough to give you a great taste of sweet chocolate crispy and caramel.
I give these 2 thumbs up!
