Shari's Spot~Part 3 - Page 38

Hey Shari!!!! So glad to see you working the plan! Hope you have a great day!

shari · 10-04-2012, 07:24 AM

Good morning ladies, I've been very busy at work taking required online trainings..ugh, enough is enough!

Today is weigh in and I lost 2lbs this week...right on track!!

As I stated in Gracie's journal, I aim to lose around 8lbs a month which would equal to 24lbs lost by the end of the year. I know with holidays coming up as well as both of my son's birthdays it may be challenging but that's why I love the option of having weekly points. If I can just commit to adding activity points...but one thing at a time, I know it'll come.

Great job Shari!!! I know you'll make your year end goal - you got this!!!

The Wendy's oatmeal was YUMMY. I got Erin the caramel apple oatmeal and she ate the whole thing

I'll have to try that next time.

Meek75 · 10-04-2012, 08:02 AM

Congratulations on the 2 pound release. You are doing amazingly well on WW+

.

Keep up the good work!

shari · 10-05-2012, 09:02 AM

Thanks Gracie and Meek

Ugh, I'm PMSing...but it's not due for at least another week..having cramps and craving sweets.

The boys are having some friends over tomorrow so I need to get more food...who knew boys could eat so much...LOL. Nothing to report weight wise cause I've given up weighing daily....less stress.

Hope you all have a great Friday and weekend!!

Meek75 · 10-05-2012, 11:28 AM

Have a great weekend, Shari

shari · 10-09-2012, 11:44 AM

I'm feeling so blah right now...I know it's PMS so I'm just going with the flow. I've been doing the Simply Filling plan of WW for now as I don't even want to count points. But I see the chart has a lot of food that I already eat so I'm still satisfied.

I'm also just plain ole tired as my weekend was full of boys...dropping them off, picking them up, going out, etc. and yesterday although I was off I was doing household chores. I wish I had two of me at times....LOL. Hopefully I will go to bed early tonight and wake up more refreshed tomorrow.

I know exactly what you're talking about

I'm still exhausted from the weekend. What is the list of Simply Filling foods? I'm curious - when I did WW a long time ago they called it the "Core Plan". You could either use the Points System or Core. It was like fruits, veggies, lean meats, popcorn, sugar-free pudding, etc. I'm wondering if it's the same.

Hey Shari!

Good List! I need to get back to it

shari · 10-10-2012, 04:18 AM

Good morning Cle!

I let my cravings take over last night...forced myself to face reality (scale) and with PMS it's not pretty.

Sometimes I feel I need to have my head examined...it just doesn't make sense to put myself through this. I could definitely be at goal by now but... I'm tired of typing this over and over so I'll just stop now.

Glad it's hump day and a short work week!!

Deb294evr · 10-10-2012, 05:07 AM

It really is a constant battle for most of us Shari, I can't believe some people actually eat normally and don't care about food plus are at a normal weight...

That amazes me..

Just keep on keepin on!!.. You are right, thank god it is Hump Day!!!

shari · 10-10-2012, 05:36 AM

I'm amazed too. It is a constant battle but I can't just roll over and give up. I've given myself a pep talk. Thanks!

Gracie514 · 10-10-2012, 05:50 AM

Good morning Shari! I've learned to not weigh before/during TOM without knowing it's gonna be an inflated number - NO WORRIES!!!!

So, that list that you posted - can you just eat what you want of those items and not count points?

that's why I love the list now..no tracking when you don't feel like it.

I jumped on the scale as a method to gain control, if that makes sense...it shocks me into reality so I don't keep falling prey to cravings. I see that horrible number and it's

so when I even think of going off track I will remember that visual.
