Well, GEEZE Louise!

There are far too many times that my eating brings me to the brink of cursing.  Today is one of those days.  BUT, like we said in the meeting, AND yesterday on my blog, "Tracking is a record of what we eat... NOT when we are perfect."  Well, today I am not perfect.  Apparently, my WPA renewed this morning and it was burning a hole in my tracker, so I ate them.  I do have 9 left.  4.2#'s of the major holiday damage is gone since last weeks HORRID weigh-in, so hopefully the rest is going away too.  Last week I ate all of my WPA, I earned 52 activity points and ate all but 32 of them.  This year, my goal is to NEVER go over my total points budget, that means to not eat beyond my WPA and my activity points as well.  This will mean that I must track no matter what.  My goal this week, and until I am comfortably under my goal weight, is to not exceed my WPA into my activity points.  OH, for those of you not used to reading my blog and not used to seeing SO many activity points, please do not be alarmed or worry that you are not doing enough or that I am nuts! (how is that for a LONG sentence?)  Anyway, I have been working up to this level of activity for a LONG time and am quite used to it.  Many people will never earn this many activity points, but as I have chosen running as one of my FAVORITE things ever, it earns a LOT of activity points.  Plus I am tall and weigh a LOT, so I earn more activity points by just being alive :)  There are a few advantages to being an AMAZON!!! ;D  It's almost as good as being a boy.
Anyway, I am going to go put on a good movie, get on the treadmill and then stretch my poor cantankerous hips and legs.  Happy weekend!
Oh, the stupid things that I did today: (22 points worth)
#1 Charleston Chew
#2 Fig newton
#3 pizza crust
#4 the WHOLE sandwich, it was HUGE!!  Half of the sandwich and a salad would have been PLENTY.  The bread was GIGANTIC!
#5 the sugar cookies.  They were boring, shortening-ie and I could taste the red in the frosting.  I should have stopped after one bit, but alas, I did not and would probably eat another if there was one.  I think I have a form of turrets, except instead of outbursts of cursing (which my husband would argue I have as well) I just uncontrollably shove food in my mouth.  I need to look up the name for that disorder. 
Oh, I almost left off the best part, as I was tracking the sandwich, I was eating as fast as I could so I could have as much of it eaten before I knew the points.  How sad is that?  I have never done that one before.
There is one good thing about the blog, when I am in the meeting and I tell you I know what you are going through, you know it's true.  I do feel bad for those who want a leader who is perfect :(  The really great thing is that my own life makes it abundantly clear that it is possible to really turf it, far more often than I should, and still be able to keep going.  I think that is my favorite thing about Weight Watchers, perfection is not required, only the desire and ability to pick yourself up, dust yourself off (or brush teeth ;) and keep plugging along.  I do have to say that I LOVE my WPA, truly, I do.  How 'bout you?
WOULD YOU GUYS LEAVE SOME COMMENTS!?!?!?!  It's my new years goal to actually hear from you readers... or are you so stunned by what I say that you cannot type? ;D  Hey, Tammy, all you have to do to post a comment is just click, "Post a Comment" :)  Common, you know you want to.  I know there are a few hundred of you a month that look at this, I get a report, please let me know who you are, pretty please, I feel stocked, semi-violated :D just kidding, I just want to know what you think.
xoxoxxo  Have a fun Friday!
