Thanks for That…

I am back on track and looking forward to a 30 day challenge that Kelly and I are starting next week! 30 days of not slipping but following WW to the letter. For me that means giving up late night snacking, boredom eating, and weekend cheat days. I was getting my hair done and even picked up a magazine on “healthy eating.” Inside front cover? M&M candy bar with M&M’s in it…thanks, thanks a lot! Why is it that a magazine devoted to “healthy” eating wants to allow candy bar advertising? It’s like that wellness drug store that sells cigarettes. I have no problem with people who want to smoke, but let’s not call it healthy. And likewise, let’s not call candy healthy food or put it in a healthy eating magazine!

I picked up some WW food tonight at my weigh in and will be hitting the store this weekend to stock up on all my 300 free foods – sweet potatoes – squash – zucchini, blackberries, strawberries, chicken, and fat free plain Greek yogurt. I want to try making some two ingredient bagels (I have the everything seasoning all ready), and a crustless pumpkin pie this weekend. I am going to cook a turkey and maybe make some turkey soup for next week.

Part of our 30 day challenge will be reading motivational writings and writing our progress so I should be doing a bit better keeping up with this blog. It is definitely more fun to write when you feel good about what you are doing and how things are going. I did not want to write this blog on Valentines when I was scarfing down my Valentines present (wanted to make sure I had it all eaten in time to have a couple of good days before WW weigh in)! Now that Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Valentine’s Day are over, I am hoping to get motivated and back moving towards my goal weight so that by the time summer is here I will still fit into my clothes!
