Well, I've dipped WAY farther into WPA than I'd planned, but I have another successful day in the book. While I feel GREAT about the new program, I'm getting really nervous! What if 32 PlusPoints is too many for me? I'm blindly trusting the process, but I almost feel guilty eating so much friend! I'm getting in my 5 F/V servings as approximately 4 servings of fruit, and one serving of veggies!
Either way, I FEEL much better knowing that what I am doing right now IS being Perfectly OP...I never thought that I could DO that, but the new plan is making it feel possible.
I had even planned for myself some ice cream tonight - but I opted instead to use that AND my APs from my run for some garlic bread with dinner.
And you know what? It was WORTH it.
I think maybe that's the point of the New Plan, amongst the overall goal of weightloss...Being more CHOOSY about the foods that you eat. It almost seems counter-intuitive, having more points, and being MORE choosy, but we must remind ourselves EVERY day that THIS IS NOT MOMENTUM!!
Tomorrow I go back to work at Victoria's Secret, for Wed & Fri nights. It's going to be rough, working retail for 5 hours after teaching 25, 5 year olds all day...BUT
- My day is COMPLETELY planned: breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks (fruit, if necessary)
- I have enough P+ for a NF Grande Gingerbread Spice Latte from Starbucks BEFORE I go into VS
- I have THREE points left to play around with! :-)
My goals going into day 4, for the 2nd half of the week are this:
- continue to TRACK EVERYTHING
- stay within DPT, only use 7 remaining WPA if I use all of my earned APs
- make sure I get my healthy oils! I'm lacking these QUITE a bit..I just looked and haven't had ANY yet this week!
Anyway, the gist is that I feel GREAT, and now I am working on training for the LI Half Marathon in May - Hopefully the weight will come off. :-)
KJ, I think you're exactly right about the goal of weight loss/ living healthy--being more choosy about the foods we eat. We can eat anything we want--garlic bread, pizza, ice cream, etc...--but we just can't eat EVERYTHING. You know? At the same time, I've noticed that I've become pickier about eating less than delicious high point foods, because it's not worth it. Way to go with everything!
