Day 3

Good morning! I slept so well last night and hopped up this morning and weighed 1.2 pounds less than I did on Wednesday when I joined Weight Watchers. Miss WW said not to weigh, but when she explained that their scales are "official", I figured I can at least tell that I've lost even if the total is not the same as theirs. I bought a fiber supplement yesterday and took it a few minutes ago. I seem to do fine with the Slim Fast shake for breakfast, so I'm sipping on that right now. It's 3 points but that's all I'm having. I'll have some fresh strawberries and grapes with my lunch. I'm anxious to try that super thin bread. Hubby is eyeing it too, but I told him he'd have to finish the loaf of regular bread and then if he wants to switch, we'll only buy the thin.

BTW, I hid the snacks I bought because I knew he'd eat them up and leave all the high calorie stuff that's in the house to go bad. He's done this to me too many times and sabotaged my plan. He doesn't seem to realize what he's doing and I don't mean to seem selfish, but I'm in SURVIVOR MODE! Again, once he eats up all the "junk", if he likes my new stuff (once I share), I'll simply buy only those items. They even had some kind of cheesey things with just a few points. The key to these points is the servings. I have to be mindful of that.

10:30 AM  Just back from riding my bike 2 miles at a nearby high school track. That's where I walk, too, as long as I don't interfere with students using it, and that doesn't happen much. It's 80 degrees and I think I could have done another mile easily if I hadn't taken Duke. He is a huge yellow lab, and he's going on a diet as well. He simply can't hold out in the heat. He likes to stay with me, but this morning he ended up in the truck a mile in. I always take him a small container of water.

Hubby and I plan to finish off the tuna salad at lunch so I think I'll try that thin bread along with a cup of fresh strawberries. We have a cherry tree, loaded with cherries. Hubby pitted and froze a bag last night. I need to do that or perhaps make some kind of syrup (made with Truvia) but I don't think I can have pancakes. Maybe fat-free ice cream?

My tiny thin sandwich was very good and I feel satisfied at 1:30 pm. I ate about 10 fresh strawberries with it. I also drank 16 oz. of water from my Hard Rock Cafe glass. I like to use that because I don't have to fill it up so often and I can keep track during the day. I also put my sandwich and fruit on a much smaller plate so it looked full. Whatever works, huh?

Since we finished the tuna salad, I have to come up with something else. I may cook some wheat pasta and some kind of sauce. Since we cook with venison, maybe that's better than hamburger?

Hubby made a cherry cobbler but I'm not touching it.

Cooked some broccoi with Olive Oil to go with past dish. While wheat pasta is not as good as flour pasta, it was satisfactory. Hubby added peanut butter and cracker and cobbler to his meal. I have enough points left over to have a snack later if I want it.
