Whew what a busy day at work..... Was worried the kids would show up on total sugar highs but no problem everybody was A OK!!!
For breakfast I had 3/4 cups of rice chex w/ 1/2 a cup of blueberries it was super yummy... Had the usual commuter mug of coffee w/ fat free half and half and 1 tsp of sugar..
Lunch consisted of one slice whole wheat bread and on top of that was 1/2 a cup of sloppy joe meat mixture. Along side was 1/2 of a small baked potato with a drizzle of salsa on it. I drank a whole sugar free grape powerade which to my surprise was good. I despise anything w/ aspartame in it but this had Splenda which my stomach can tolerate (I'm very, very bad about drinking enough water during the day).
I got a tad bit hungry in the afternoon so I treated myself to a Weight Watchers dark chocolate peppermint patty, it was smooth, rich, decadent and very filling, not a dinky little candy but a good sized piece of heaven!!!
Dinner consisted of a Bocca burger on top of one slice of whole wheat bread (man the Bocca burgers are super delicious) Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell my vegetarian daughter I got into her stash of Bocca burgers, hee hee... I topped that w/ a drizzle of ketchup, sliced onion and a slice of bread and butter pickle. Along side was 1 cup of sweet green peas....
My huge dilema of the day was after dinner, given the fact that I had 3 points left should I have a Weight Watchers choc chip cookie dough ice cream sundae or 1, I repeat 1 glass of wine??????? I chose the wine because it's been days since my last sip of vino and the ice cream I just had last night..
I texted my friend who is on this lifestyle change as well as I had a question.... It's awesome to have GOOD friends along this journey to support me and give me pointers it makes this all the more easy.... I am full from dinner and I've used all of my points for the day. I think I'll kick back now and watch some tv and if I get hungry or bored and feel the need to eat I will make myself a nice hot cup of tea and enjoy my evening...
I'm so very proud of myself, I feel better each and every day of this journey an I hope atleast one of you finds it inspirational.. I just can't wait to get weighed in on Saturday I'm so looking forward to that.....
I hope November brings me peace, tranquility and a new pair of jeans, hee hee!
More soon and stay positive!!

Happy November!!!!!!!!!!!
What a great day yesterday was...... All the little trick or treaters were adorable and I got so much exercise running back and fourth from the office in the back of the house to the front door to pass out candy (first year in 20 years I was home alone on a holiday)...
Yesterday I used up all 22 of my WW points and I didn't wake up hungry. I woke up tired due to the fact that I went to bed after midnight but I wasn't hungry, LOL.
For lunch I had 2 sticks of celery w/ peanut butter on it and a bowl full of romaine lettuce with two slices of turkey cut up and 2 TBS of virtually fat free salad dressing, I felt a bit hungry but hey this is a new process for me, hee hee.
For dinner I had a WW thai chicken with peanut sauce frozen entree and for dessert I had a WW cookie dough ice cream sundae OH MY LANTA both of those were amazing, tasted great and filling. Not sure I will routinely buy frozen items but I just happened to be at the store getting cash for baby boy so he could go to the movies with a friend so.................................................... I'm glad I tried them anyway!!
Woke up this morning in a great mood. This diet, or lifestyle change I should say, sure does keep one motivated and feeling proud. All I can really think of is weigh in on Saturday!! Oh, oh I'll be out of town this weekend visiting my best friend and I found out that I can attend a meeting and get weighed in even though I'm not at home how cool is that??? :-) I really enjoy writing down EVERYTHING I consume during the day it's nice to glance at thru the course of the day and see how well one's doing on their discipline.
I plan to start walking in the evenings again w/ several women that live in my development, they walk M, W, F evenings at 7pm.. Nice that I don't have to get in the car and go anyplace I just walk steps out my front door to meet them, yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for me!!!!! :-)
Oh I forgot to mention it's important to actually see numbers for me, I'm a very visual person and at my first WW meeting/ weigh in on 30, October I weighed 159.. I'm so confident that that number will be lower at my next weigh in coming up on Saturday.... Visualization is a huge key for me, I love to have something to look forward to...
I have a big high school reunion coming up in July and that is a HUGE motivator for me.
Enjoy this first day of November!! I know I sure will..
More soon and keep positive...
