Got on the scale. Up another pound. So in the last three weeks I’m up 4.5 total. I’m bummed, but like I said to my WW leader last night—I WON’T QUIT. This is normally the point in weight loss endeavors where I would find an excuse to stop going to Weight Watchers, gain 20+ pounds that weren’t there before, get upself with myself, press restart—-

But not this time. I’m picking myself up this week. I was motivated when I got home last night from weigh-in. The first thing I did was make my salad for today. I weighed and measured EVERYTHING. Which is important in my salads because I like to put a lot of high-fat things in them, which in turn makes eating salads exciting.

Here’s the breakdown of my salad:

Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber- 0pts

hard boiled egg- 2pts

smoked turkey slice- .5pt

1/2 avocado (50g)- 2pts

Light Ranch (2tbsp)- 1.5pts

So in total my lunch salad is 6 points. And let me tell ya—it’s absolutely delicious. Other things I did was core and chop an apple into slices, make a cucumber/tomato/cream cheese wrap (3pts), and pack two wheat crackers w/ laughing cow cheese. These are such simple things, I know, but when you get out of habit of preparing food for you day, that is when you fail! At least that’s when I fail. If I only pack my salad, I find myself getting hungry a couple more times during the day. I’m definitely a person who needs to eat often.

Day 1 isn’t over yet, but it’s on it’s way to being a good one!
