Moment Of Truth

Good day Teaspoons!

Tomorrow is the moment of truth.  The moment where I'll see if I just had beginners luck last week or if I will lose weight again this week.  Can't wait to hop on the scale and see.  If I lost, great! If I didn't I know exactly what to change.  I realise that I often eat bites here and there of food.  I'll grab bites off my (skinny) boyfriend's plate (as if he needs less calories in his day!) or grab some in the teacher's lounge at work. These "little bites" can make quite an impact on the scale.  So whether I lose or gain this week, my goal for next week not to eat any of these "little bites".

Today went pretty good all in all.  Went for a walk after work with the (skinny) boyfriend.  It's definitely more fun to go for a walk with someone.  So next time you're heading out, why not invite your loved one, a member of your family or your friend to stroll along with you?  You'll be able to catch up AND lose weight! THAT's what I call a winning combo!

I'll definitely let you know what the scale said tomorrow in my blog.
Till then, keep on tracking and on commenting in the box below!

A Quick Turn Aournd

Hello my dear Teaspoons!

How was your day?  I had one of those days.  The kind of day where you feel like you've gained weight because your pants are tight and you feel a little discourage.  I'm sure you've all felt like that at one time or another.  Well guess what, instead of dwelling on it, I decided to do something about it! When I got home from work, I put on my sneakers and went out in the freezing rain for a walk! Yes! Freezing rain!  At one point, I was walking against the wind and hail started to fall down.  I almost called my (skinny) boyfriend to come pick me up but instead, I started jogging.  I don't have the endurance to run far BUT it did warm me up pretty quickly which help me finish my walk.

When I got home and sat down at the computer, I saw that a friend of mine had wrote me on Facebook. When I clicked it open, I was so happy to read that my blog made her decide to join Weight Watchers! She might live in Austria but my words did get across the ocean to her.  This really turned my day around!  Even if I'm feeling a little discourage today, I'm happy to know that I'm taking small steps towards having a better and healthier life.

Let me know what YOU do to turn your day around when you are having "one of those days"!
Until tomorrow, keep on tracking my Teaspoons!

Short On Ideas

Good day my Teaspoons!

Today is my 4th day of being back on track and I feel like I'm already out of ideas of lunch to pack and dishes to make for supper.  I remember, my last time around when using WW, that I always kept eating the same thing every day for lunch.  Same thing was happening in the evening: every week, I would see myself serving the same dish on the table.

So today, I decided to pack a lunch that was a little different even if it was based on the same things that I usually pack.  You will see below that instead of my regular WW bagel ham sandwich, I decided to bring a bagel and toast it at work.  I ate it with some laughing cow cheese.  I also had some soup to make sure that I would be filled up enough to pass trough the afternoon.  You will probably thing "well that's not much of a change from her usual".  But hey! It is one step away from my usual sandwich.  Small and steady steps will get me to a lunch packing creative queen!  To get this royal title, I invite you guys to leave some comments on what you pack for your lunch!  That way, I'll have some new ideas to try out.

Here's a picture of me while walking today.  It was mighty cold.  But with a view like the one below you don't even feel like you're working out.  I only burned 2 points walking since I only did it for 30 minutes and had to go at a slow pace because of the doctors orders.

Thanks so much for ready again today.  Can't wait to read (and try) some of your ideas!
