I hate Statistics!

Today is an average day.

I weighed in yesterday for WW. I gained 4 lbs. I was actually a small bit relieved at that. Relieved that it wasn't as much as I thought and relieved that I stayed in the 170's. Here's a recap of my week as a hog:

Wed- Ate Mcdonald's double cheeseburger and french fries

Thurs- Ate like a pig at El Campesino's Mexican restaurant. Lots of cheese dip and chips and salsa

Fri- I started off the day with a large Chipotle Burrito which back in the flex point days was 27 pts. Sarah's party, I drank like liquor was going off the market, I ate lots of BBQ ham sandwiches and party dips and chips and all that shit.

Sat- Went to a birthday party and ate like 5 small pieces of pizza, beans and weiners, drank Pepsi, at lots of Doritos then followed up that night at another party and drank some more liquor.

Sun- I went to Wylie's birthday party and ate like I've never seen food in my life. I ate a crap load of corn dip, which is made with real butter and cream cheese. I ate like 8 cookies. I ate all the Halloween candy my belly could handle.

Mon- I ate an entire meal from New Home Sing chinese restaurant. General Tso's chicken with fried chicken bits smothered in sugary glaze and like 2-3 cups of fried rice.

Tues- I ate out after school at Arby's. I got a Beef and Cheddar and a large curly fry.

Keep in mind these were the bad and more memorable things I ate. I also ate pretty much a whole box of Little Debbie brownies throughout the week as well as whatever other garbage we had around here. I also didn't follow any of the guidelines, which I usually do. So as you can see, I probably deserved to put on like 10 lbs. Which is why I was relieved it was only 4.

All the people who work for WW are lifetime members, or people that participated in WW and lost all their weight. I told the lady that weighed me in that I didn't follow the plan all week because I had a lot of parties to go to and I am powerless to party food. She told me she does the exact same thing. She said the difference from before WW and after is that before the binge didn't end. She just kept eating like that and didn't know when to stop. Now, she said, she knows a new week is coming and she can start all over again fresh. That inspired me, because she is right. That's what I like about this plan. You don't have to be perfect. You can mess up. After you do, you learn something and you can turn around the next week and do better.

I think I'm staying with Core for a while. I really like the freedom I have. I eat so many core foods anyway that it makes more sense to do it.

School is starting to get crazy. We are in the second half of the semester and I have so much crap to do. All my big projects are coming due and all the course material is getting more difficult. I swear, they should do the hard part first when people have all their steam. But no, they do it at the end when everyone's getting sick of school and loses their motivation.

I have to take the baby to the doctor today because he is sick. I really hate doing it. I'll just have to sit in a smelly waiting room for over an hour just to have a doctor tell me he has a cold and give him Dimetapp. But when you're kid is this young it's very important to keep up on illnesses. Babies are fragile and sometimes illnesses that an adult could just get over, will make a baby very very sick and could end up being quite serious. My mom thinks he has an ear infection. I don't think so. I bet it is just a cold. But we'll check it out anyway.

I guess that's all for today.

I haven't been keeping track of points or anything for the last like, week and half. Glad I was watching ozzy monday night. We got into the fargodome and i thought to myself "i'm missing my meeting right now...thank god!" I am almost positive that I am probably over my starting weight by now!!! But today I hopped back on the wago.

I am just working on eating less for now. I figure that way I'll at least develop the habit of NOT stuffing my face until I can barely move! I more or less just estimate on the points, because alot of things I eat, I have no way to figure out what they are anyway. And since I don't do the online thing, I can't just do the recipe buildy thing. But I'm thinking I'll do the online thing soon. even though i still won't get innernets until next spring...

I can't quit. I'm an addict now. LOL!! I like the meetings, but I can see why people wouldn't. I keep missing them because it's at a bad time, Saturday morning. But I'll start doing better.

Yah mine are on monday nights. It's just a pain because by the time monday rolls around, i'm usually broke, or i can't afford to get gas for the 60 miles i put in for the meeting...

Yeah, if I were in your situation I wouldn't go. It's not worth it. My suggestion to you, if you're serious about it, is to enroll in the online tools which is only 12 a month. And frequent the message boards for inspiration, advice and ideas. That and read the successs stories. Those were my most powerful tools when I was just beginning.

hows my little gi joe feeling?

He was a little better today. Still real snotty(as in mucous). The doctor didn't really know what was wrong with him but said he probably has a sinus infection because he's been sick for so long now. So I have to give him an antibiotic for a while. Fun, Fun! It's almost your turn.
