Weigh In: Week 3

We're on week 3 and going strong! 

Everyone has been so supportive of us, and we thank you! Our biggest fan and supporter, however is....

Memphis. Our trusty sidekick. I mainly just wanted to put a picture of him in the blog because I love his face. But he loves that we're getting slimmer so he isn't so embarrassed to be seen with us. It's the German in him or something. Anyway, moving on.

This week, I feel a whole lot better about our weigh in, so let's hit the scales!

Poor Patrick. Now he knows how I felt about a week ago. But he has little Gregger to blame since it was Gregger's birthday extravaganza this weekend. He had a weekend of "Too Much Fun", so to speak. However, he assures me, that it was absolutely and totally worth it to help G-Force celebrate in style. 

                                                            But look how handsome he is! 

I do have to say that, so far, I have found I'm more successful when I plan the whole week of eating and working out because I know where I stand every day. It sounds boring, but I eat some form of eggs every morning. I have my cottage cheese/cantaloupe concoction for a snack almost every day. At work, I eat a bulkier dinner because it has to last me about 5 hours. 

That being said, a possible minus of Weight Watchers may be that I can't be extremely spontaneous in life. For example, if my darling sister, Elise, calls me to get sushi, I have to look at my points, see if I have wiggle room, check how many Points Plus a spicy tuna roll is (7, if you're wondering...and nobody has just ONE roll. SHOW ME THAT PERSON. Show me that person, and I'll show you a LIAR). 

I think another contributing factor to my weight loss this week is the fact that I did not consume much alcohol this week, 2 glasses of wine with dinner on Friday. I'm not going to lie, that's hard for me. Alcohol-driven I am not, but I love to have a glass of wine with dinner or when I'm lounging in front of the boob tube at night. One SERVING (5 fl oz) of red wine is 4 Points Plus. What I actually pour is about 1 cup, which is 7 Points Plus. Le sigh. 

This week, we have a lot of yummy food planned. Last night we had the Rigatoni with Meat Sauce, but I am making some Pizza Pockets and Mexican Chicken Lasagna. Very exciting! Also, at work last week, one of our tech's mother-in-law made these TO DIE FOR lemon cookies. I looked on the old WW and found lemon honey cookies. I'm going to try those out and see if they are to DIET for! Get it? HA! I'll report back with my results. 

Until next time!
