Today is weigh in day....my first of many to come.
"Drum roll please" This week I lost 3 lbs!
I have to say I'm a little elated because I did exactly what I was told not to do, weigh myself. Not only that but I did it like every day. And my scale only showed a 1.5 loss. As my WW leader says the only scale that matters is this one. So I'm going to stop weighing and just be surprised on Mondays.
Tricks I love this week:
1. Greek yogurt, tastes good high protein low points. My friend showed me how to make tzakiki too. Amazing.
2. Hummus and Cucumber, delish crunchy snack.
3. Using flavored olive oil in tuna instead of mayo. It was SO good, I used a tsp of basil flavored EVOO in my tuna with onion, pickles, celery and a little mustard. I stuffed 2 sandwich flats and had a totally satisfying lunch.
I also bought a pomegranate, my mom showed me how to knock out all the little gems. I juiced them and added some to my green smoothie this morning. SUPER sweet.
This morning I found out that one of my long time dearest friends is ALSO doing WW. She just joined the week before me and I'm so excited that we can encourage one another.
My 5% goal is 13 lbs. I'm really hoping to be down 20 lbs by January. The community center that my ww meeting is at has a small gym. I used to go about a year ago and I really like it. I dont feel overwhelmed by the equipment and I love the classes they offer. Anyhoo...they are offering 50% off the monthly membership in Janurary so it will be $14 instead of 28. This is going to be my treat for acheiving my first goal so I can keep the momentum going.
After reading the PCOS blog, getting a big eye opener on the process and a little more research, I've determined that IUI is going to be the best course for us. This also ties into my January goal. I made a deal with Hubby to follow through with the consultation at the HRC (Huntington Reproductive Center) so they can give me a current status on my ovaries and do a work up on him too. Its time to jump in. Next year I'm determined to be a Mother.
Hubby is out of town this week for work. I got the cleaning bug yesterday and purged his dresser and closet. Got a nice little donation pile for the good will. I also ironed the big pile of dress shirts I've been avoiding for about a month. Now I actually know what he has and needs. I'm hoping to give the bathroom a good scrub tonight and dust. Then I'll have a chore free house for the rest of the week which means I will have time to scrapbook! guilt free.
I have a baby shower invite job to get crackin on too. I have till the end of November to pump out 75. Woo..
