Week 1: Let the Games Begin!

Sooo....here we go!

Weight: 240.6
Daily Points: 36

I'm feeling pretty pumped about today.  I know I will be doing PATH to Wellness with this so I will be logging my steps as well...I know I'm doing Zumba today so I will be earning at least 7APs today...although I'm not sure if I will use them all.  Here's my food breakdown for today:


Breakfast:
2 scrambled eggs: 4pts
Maple and Brown Sugar Weight Control Oatmeal: 4pts

Lunch:
Lean Cuisine Steamer: 7pts
Unsweetened applesauce: 0pts

Snacks:
Apple: 0pts
Walnuts/Almond Mix: 3pts
2T Bacon bits: 1pts
Iced Tea: 4pts

 Activity Points: 7
Skim Milk: 2pts 

Dinner:
4oz Lean Pork Chop: 4
1/2c cooked white rice: 3
Carrots: 0pts


It's tricky because we're in the same pay period as when we spent $650 on our car repairs so I have to go grocery shopping in the WORST way...and our house does NOT really have points-friendly foods right now.  But I'm going with it.  Dinner is going to be pork chops, green beans, and rice...

Here's to hoping.

Who am I?

Welcome to the obligitory "who am I" post.  It's lovely here!  Pull up a chair and start to skim through!
I decided to start this blog as a way to keep myself accountable for what I am eating, when and how I am exercising, and what recipes and new foods I'm trying.

My name is Carrie and I am a food addict. 

That about sums me up.  I've been here before - twice, actually - and here I am again.  My love affair with food - that beautiful temptress - has been on-again for about two years.  Two years ago I was 60lbs lighter.  In fact, I was the lightest weight I had been since high school!  After having a baby!  What gives?  I got to a nice weight and stopped doing the things I know I need to do to keep the weight off.  So here I am again, climbing back on the horse...and hopefully I will stay on this time.  My family, my health, and my emotional well being depend on it.
