ProPoints Time to knuckle down, summer is around the corner!

Hm I don't know! Maybe tofu or something?!

Well, I know I've been a bit sporadic in posting. I feel a bit ashamed really so haven't been on here too much because I've gone over my points this week. I've eaten ALL my weeklies and ALL my APs and gone over by 5pp. I know it's not a huge amount, but I am 95% sure I will gain weight because of it. I almost don't want to WI on Monday because I will 'lose' my silver seven and my leader was thrilled I got it :(

The other thing is I've just done my budget according to the student loan I get in October. I have to pay a lot of money in train fares to uni and I can barely afford to keep going to weight watchers, the gym and zumba. Like, I will be going overdrawn each month by a little bit until I get my final payment in April which is a bit more so will ensure I can pay off the overdraft. I will have zero money to do anything social with, so this means I need to be ultra committed to weight watchers and losing weight or I will be wasting this money. I really don't want to leave weight watchers because I love going to the meetings and my leader is really helpful. I would cancel my gym membership but I signed up for a 12 month contract and there would probably be a hefty cancellation fee.

I am looking for a job but there is hardly anything out there :( just applied for a weekend job in Ernest Jones which I hope I get.

Sorry, rant over!

Today I went to a university open day with my boyfriend and it was really fun. We had lunch in an american diner on campus which was yummy (but didn't help my points situation!)

Today's intake (I had to guesstimate some of it from similar items as did not know exact values)

Breakfast- Special K 4pp, milk 1pp
Lunch- Chicken breast burger 13pp, curly fries 5pp, small chocolate donut 7pp
Dinner- Chicken nuggets 8pp, 2 waffles 6pp, baked beans 4pp
Snack- WW sticky toffee cheesecake 5pp

activity points- 10 mins slow walking 1pp

I will try and do some aerobics later which will earn me 2 to 3 APs back and I will try to eat under my points tomorrow so then hopefully I won't be over any more.

Feeling very fat and fed up at the moment :(

Hey Sweetie,

Sorry to hear things haven't been going exactly to Plan, hopefully you will be fine at Mondays WI but even if you're not you will know what to do to resolve it. The monetary thing is a bit more tricky, it's not nice to go overdrawn each month with no pennies for socialising or luxury but if you feel that u definitely need the gym and meetings then u must continue to have them, personally I don't need the meetings but that's just me, everyone is different. Keep your chin up Sweetie, we are all here for you. X
 
Thanks Serena.

I did a Leslie Sansone video last night and earned 2 APs. Just need to earn 3 today or eat a few points less.

Isn't Leslie brilliant, I don't think I'm going to get chance to do mine today either as I've still got to iron Poppy's uniform for tomorrow and get my stuff ready for the hospital but might try and squeeze the 1 mile one in. X
 
Well I am afraid to say I have well and truly blown it for today. I was on plan right up until dinner time. I was originally going to have a weight watchers lasagne for tea and I would be 4 points under for the day which when combined with the activity points I've earned would cancel out where I went over plan.

However my brother returned back from York starving and he wanted to make a spanish omelette so we adapted the recipe slightly and I decided to have that rather than my WW meal. I dread to think how many calories were in my dinner- we had 4 potatoes, 8 eggs, 5 sausages between the three of us in this omelette. Mum even FRIED the potato after cooking them to "add more flavour".

Then after my dinner I've just scoffed two dairy free chocolate bars and a WW brownie.

This week has been bad from start to finish food wise and I am too scared to go to WI tomorrow. I know I should face the music as it were but I don't think I can. I might just weigh at home.

I'm going to start afresh as of tomorrow.

I need to stop dipping into my weeklies every day as I have been doing. It's slowed down my weight loss. I need to be of the mindset that weeklies are only there for a special occasion and not to eat just because I can.

Although saying that I do have a buffet on sunday for my aunt's birthday. I need to be really controlled or I could eat plates and plates.

A sad, failed will powerpuff-er this week :(

Sending u giant hugs Sweetie, draw a line under today/this week and as you say start afresh tomorrow after WI, it will give u a benchmark to work from. I enjoy Weeklies but I agree that they should be used for Special Occasions and I will always try to use mine as far away from WI as possible although saying that you have the buffet next Sunday which is the day before WI but that can't be help and rather u use all 49 Weeklies the day before WI than go off track and don't count anything and eat god knows how many PP. x
 
Do you think I should go to the meeting tomorrow and get weighed? I feel so ashamed and I think my leader will be disappointed as I only got my silver seven last week.

If it was me I would go and face the music, it's not like u are going and pretending that you've been perfect and are 'shocked' at the result etc etc. x
 
i'd go... rather than miss it!
just be honest with them and say ur not expecting a good result and see what happens then draw a line and start again
 
Okay I will go.

I am going to the gym tomorrow so that might help a little bit.

Well I've racked up 9 activity points today to try and lose some weight before weigh in but I'm not feeling confident. I will report back soon.

OMG 9 A/P, WOWZERS! Good Luck for WI Sweetie. X
 
2.5lbs on :( :( :( :( it really was a horrible week. I ate so much. I was sitting through the meeting holding back tears. I never want to feel this way again! The silly thing is it's all my own fault. I control what I eat. So as of now I am being more positive and taking back control.

I can do this :D

Today I've done a ton of exercise and I'm feeling good for it. I did 20 minutes in the gym, 40 minutes walking and 40 minutes of leslie sansone :D

Breakfast- special K 4pp, milk 1pp
Lunch- 4 ryvita crackerbread 2pp, 2 slices kingsmill 50/50 5pp, marmalade 2pp, ham 1pp, extra light laughing cow 0pp, quavers 2pp
Dinner- WW lasagne 6pp, veg 0pp
Snacks- 7 custard creams 12pp (yes I slipped up after lunch), alpro soya dessert 3pp, banana 0pp

38pp
33/33 dailies
5 weeklies
44 weeklies remaining

activity points- 40 minutes brisk walking 4pp, 60 minutes aerobics 5pp (gym and leslie sansone)
 
I'm proud of you for going to the meeting Sweetie, with your positive motivation you will have that off as quickly as it went on. X PS-I noticed u don't have any Fruit at Brekkie or Salad at Lunch, could you think about adding this in to help with hunger? X
 
I don't like salad!

I sometimes have a banana in the evening. I eat strawberries when mum buys them too. But I don't like many fruits either, I'm quite picky :p
