Jelly Beans are the devil

I sit here eating jelly beans. Lots and lots of jelly beans. They are the enemy right now. Jelly beans... and girl scout cookies. I bought two more boxes today at the last booth sale of the year. I'm not going to open them for months. So they won't be a problem right now. But jelly beans are. I just bought two bags of them. And then I read the nutritional value. Not a good choice at all.

I took a self picture today and immediately deleted it. I had three chins in it. Not pretty.

I haven't been doing well at all. Although I haven't gained anything, which is the only good part of life right now. I need to walk. And once the bus picks up on Monday, I'm putting the kid in the stroller and taking a walk... or at least that is my plan.

Down three pounds

I weighed myself today and I'm down 3. Not bad for a week. Went to an activities committee meeting today - avoided the thin mints and chocolate cake that were available. And a bonus - I walked to the meeting. It was a beautiful afternoon. The weather is supposed to be decent for some of this week also - hopefully I can get some walks in.

Finally on the wagon...

So finally, after thinking about it for weeks (okay... years!), I've started counting my points again. I started last Thursday (February 21st) and have done fairly well. Minus going to the Cheesecake Factory with Rorie on Sunday and eating a piece of chocolate cake at Bunco on Monday. I haven't officially weighed myself to see how I've done.

We went to the Olive Garden for dinner yesterday and I avoided the breadsticks. Which is good because I looked it up when I got home I saw they were 3 points each. Ugh! And truthfully, I usually eat two or three when we go there. I'm not sure what kind of points I ate with my dinner, but I had a lot of points to work with. And I've had a hard time eating all my points in the past few days. I know that you're not allowed to "bank" points, but whatever.

I will be thrilled if I lose 10 pounds by the end of March. I'm worried that once it gets warm, I won't have anything to wear. It's been bad enough this winter, but at least you can cover yourself up in the cold weather. Not so much once it gets warm!
