I am really nervous about the weigh-in tomorrow at Weight Watchers. Against my better judgement, I have been weighing myself at home and the scale this week has been showing a gain. Probably from my inactivity that was due to my arm injury and my cough.

Thanks to all of you AWESOME :slaphappy: people, though, I am having no trouble getting all of my water in. In fact, yesterday I didn’t even have one Diet Dr. Pepper! And Leanne, none of them were Propel, either!:winking:

You guys all RAWK! I know you will say some things that make me less frightened about the scale tomorrow or that even if it is a gain, I won’t feel so bad. Thanks.

OK, I am nervous. I don’t see big changes on my scale and I have been trying to stay within points all week. I think I exceeded it yesterday, but that would have been my only day.

 So, today I am on a mission. My mission is to drink TONS of water, to exercise like crazy (I ran for 30 minutes this morning already…probably 2.5 miles or so), and to pray tonight that I see a loss. I know that sounds superficial, but I have diabetes and I have GOT to find something here that works. My first week at WW saw no loss at all. I can’t go through that again. I’m afraid I’ll just stop eating altogether.

I have worried about my weight since college. And, now I have to think about every thing that goes into my mouth with this diabetes too. The irony is, I can’t really stop eating altogether because I’d have low blood sugar. But, I am so exhausted with thinking about this. You know?

 Anyway, 7 a.m. tomorrow is my weigh-in before I make a long drive to a nearby city for a baby shower where there will be tons of sweets I won’t be enjoying. Wish me luck!

Ah, the start to another day, “with no mistakes in it yet”, as Anne of Green Gables would say. I had a small, poached egg on a slice of unbuttered, WeightWatchers bread toast; 1/2 c. fat-free yogurt and 1/2 a small banana for breakfast…all for 252 calories! And I’m full. It’s a good start. I’ll update later on. Everyone have good days!

It’s been a fantastic day for me.  Yay!  At lunch, I had a tossed salad with tuna in it and for supper, we had baked chicken breasts (skin removed), rice, green beans and tomato wedges.  Had skim milk and an apple as a snack.  I easily got all my water in again today, and then some.  So I’m feeling really great tonight.

Using the SparkPeople program to keep track of every morsel,  I stayed at 1209 cal. for the day, on the low end of my 1200-1500 range.  Every time my focus strayed today, I just reminded myself of the saying I see in many dieters’ signatures:  Nothing tastes as good as slim feels.  I’ll try to remember that!

Yeeehawwww!   It’s only .2 lost, but I’ll take it!
