WeWa check in?
It's been forever since we've done one.
I'm still trying to re-lose the weight I gained back when I was sick last month for a couple weeks. I am thinking it might be time for me to add in a bit more exercise too.
I made these last week and they were delicious and easy. I highly recommend them. I will be making this deep dish casserole from the same blog on Wednesday.
At some point I want to try making her hash brown breakfast cup thingies. They look delightful.

Re: WeWa check in?
I've finally stopped counting my points. It was good during the 1st tri, but I've decided to lighten up about it for awhile and see how things go. I've also decided to only weigh myself once a week. This will be hard for me. Some part of my brain thinks that when you stop for a few days everything will go haywire. I'm slowly working on reprogramming my brain. Probably no reason for me to be posting this here, but whatever. Those recipes look awesome Cali. I want to try the first one ASAP.
I am definitely in a lull, which isn't surprising to me. After I got fat, I have always had difficulty getting under 160 and am currently yo-yoing between 162 - 165. I am heavier right now but I ate out a lot this past week and I suspect that most of it is water retention and sodium related.
I lost the 30 I lost so far without eating salads all the time (I don't love salads) but I think it is probably time to start salad lunches. And I am super happy I can start running again because that should help.

Weighing yourself once a week will be cutting back? Oof. Can't you break up with your scale completely for the next few months? I don't want you to get too caught up in your weight.
The buffalo chicken cups are 4 points for one, 7 points for 2, FYI.

I switched to maintenance and tried to count points, but I seriously got too tired to log points. I just eat a million times during the day (a little here, a little there) so it was a lot of work and I'm working on a strict energy budget. Meal planning is also impossible. I make these delicious things and the next day the thought of eating them sends me running to the bathroom.
Although I am unhappy with what I weigh (I gained too much before my transfer because I wasn't allowed to exercise and I was traveling a lot for work), I was pleasantly surprised at the scale at my 7wk appointment. It is in no way, shape or form what I should have weighed, but not horrendous. Fingers crossed for my appt. on Friday. I just don't to be as big as a house, but bread, cheese, crackers and sparkling water are the only things I can eat consistently.

It's so frustrating. I think a lot of it (in my case, at least), is that I do so well during the week and barely touch my weekly points, then I splurge on the weekends. I really need to spread the weekly points out more.
But I did have 3 people approach me at work last week to tell me how good I look, so that's encouraging.

Thanks, lady! I still have sooooo much more to go though. I did "splurge" on two new pairs of jeans last week though since once pair was $8 on clearance and I had a 20% coupon.

On the days I work at both jobs, I bring two "lunches" to work. I eat one at lunch time, and then the other around 4:30 or in the car on the way to the second job.
