Week 20 - The Results Blog

I'm up 0.4 this week. But I am accepting of that on two accounts. These aren't excuses. They are me coming to terms with things.

1. I didn't journal last week and let my eating get the better of me. I cannot keep turning to food when I'm emotional. Bad bad bad. Bad. Time for a Kim shopping trip again I think. I am stressed to the max and need a day away. But I have nothing to do. Sucks.

2. I lost a point. When the middle number of your weight changes, so does your daily point allotment. It usually takes me a bit of adjusting to figure out where I can cut back. I am looking at my breakfast. I'll take out the yogurt (sometimes glass of milk) and just add more coffee. Hmmm...or rather stop the banana on the cereal to keep in the serving of dairy and add more coffee. Either way, greasy sweats or not...I'm adding more coffee. Just can't function with out it.

We have food in the house again. I tried to make a conscious effort on lower point, better for you foods while shopping. We bought most of the food from the fresh food section and hardly any from the frozen food section. Desperately trying to get away from processed. It is so hard without a weekly meal plan. In fact, as I'm writing this, I am realizing my plan for tonight is already screwed. We were going to have bbqed whole chicken legs, potatoes and onions in foil on the bbq and roasted asparagus in the oven....and then it hit me. We're out of propane. And I don't do propane. Poop.

See...? There's always something!
