Well, I'm back to tracking my food here instead of WW website. WW was trying to starve me. Seriously, I think I was eating about 1100 calories a day if I stayed within my target. The problem with WW as I discovered these last couple of months is that it punishes you with higher point count for foods that are high in carbs and fat - and it rewards you with a lower point count for foods that are high in fiber and protein. The only problem is that I can't eat all that artificial food that's chock full of trans-fats and bloated with extra fiber to get the point counts down.
I don't think that there is anything wrong with eating fat - as long as it's from a healthy source. I don't consider crisco to be one of them.
Here's one example of how WW points was starving me:
Every morning I eat a gf waffle with peanut butter and honey before my workouts. WW said that it was 6 points - in calories it's only about 205 cals. So, that's all I've been eating for breakfast because I like to save more points for a bigger dinner. Well, I'm super active. I run, swim, play soccer, walk, and do hot yoga. I exercise about 2 times a day. I was eating 6 pts for breakfast, lunch, snack and then 8 points for dinner which took me to my total of 26 points.
When I did stay on plan for a whole week, I'd lose 3-4 pounds. But I couldn't sustain it more than one week. Then I'd be making up for all that calorie deficit the next week - having a yoyo pattern to my diet. Really driving me crazy. Well, I'm back to eating right and trying to be more successful. I'm back to my 1600 calories/day, which would be like 40 WW points. YIKES!

Back on Track - Day 2
Yesterday went pretty good. Stayed within my points. The only "slip" I had was while cooking dinner. I ate some of the extra lean ground turkey as I was cooking it. Today the scale was down. YEAH! However, I think that I'm going to have an honest pound gain by my Saturday weigh-in. Oh well, you play, you pay...
Here's how I did on my 5-point plan yesterday:
1) Journal every day until I'm back under control. -- Done!
2) When I go to the kitchen trolling for snacks, I'm going to drink a glass of water instead. Or a cup of herbal tea. -- Done! It worked great. Gonna keep on with it.
3) Make sure I'm drinking my gallon of water each day. I've been slacking on this. -- Achieved!
4) Just go to bed. I've been staying up later than usual. If I find myself wanting to snack I'm going to grab a great book and get in the bed. -- Was in bed by 10 last night. That sure helps.
5) Loudly announce that I'm not hungry and don't want to eat a snack. Sometimes alerting my husband to my peril makes him ask questions that help me get my mind straight. --Yep, and my kids think I'm crazy.
Here's for day 2! I will be as successful as yesterday! Back on track!

I'm really struggling. I'm so close to my goal, but I can't stay within my points/calorie allowance. Why am I sabotaging myself? I've done it every time I've gotten close to my goal weight and I've got to stop it. I'm going to do it this time. I'm going to hit my goal weight and I'm going to keep the weight off forever. I need a plan to get myself back on track, but I just don't know what to do. What is it going to take?(Tracking food on WW and I am eating balanced and eating enough calories.)
I'm doing great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack...and then right before bed time I start eating anything I can get my hands on. And I'm not even hungry when I do the extra eating. Last night, I ate a whole bag of bacon bits. Usually I eat left overs from the dinner. I've also found myself not measuring or weighing foods. I need to have a plan for getting back into the swing of things.
1) Journal every day until I'm back under control.
2) When I go to the kitchen trolling for snacks, I'm going to drink a glass of water instead. Or a cup of herbal tea.
3) Make sure I'm drinking my gallon of water each day. I've been slacking on this.
4) Just go to bed. I've been staying up later than usual. If I find myself wanting to snack I'm going to grab a great book and get in the bed.
5) Loudly announce that I'm not hungry and don't want to eat a snack. Sometimes alerting my husband to my peril makes him ask questions that help me get my mind straight.
And now we're having an ice storm that will most-likely knock out the power and I'll be stranded in the house unable to go workout. YIKES!

The last two weeks have been a challenge for me with regards to the amount of food I've been eating. I was sick last week with an ovarian cyst and then this week we've had very poor snowy weather which has kept me trapped in the house disrupting my exercising schedule. Today I got 18 activity points. I ran 75 minutes and went to hot yoga. (AWESOME!) And today my eating is back to normal. I'm looking back over my eating journal (I track on WW website) and I'm noticing that on days when I don't exercise, those are the days that I overeat.
So, exercising is an appetite suppressant? I'm confused about this because I thought that the more you exercise the more you want to eat. I'm not one to take this at face value, so I've looked it up and found the science behind my hypothesis: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/12/081211081446.htm
Now I NEVER want to miss my workouts. But notice that the article says that you must workout rigorously. So, I'm assuming that a light stroll won't cut it. Working out is a total WIN-WIN!
