Freedom

I feel a weird sense of freedom with weight watchers. It makes me happy. When I eat a non traditional "diet" food I cunt the points the best I can sometimes having to withdraw from the bank I write it down and move on. I can say with this freedom you sort of have a rope that you can tie around your neck. I feel like a kid that  is first allowed out after 1 PM. Sort of drown towards the "bad"  This week there was no real dramatic weight loss and I attribute it to that "freedom" I weigh in Friday so the results are still out but I know I did not gain anything. my danger areas are after work. I go straight to the kitchen in a sort of ravenous frenzy. I need to plan. There is that word again "plan" I really need to get to the grocery store. Jack went and I am fully stocked in chips and candy and steak.  I need to go!

The cafe at work. The cafeteria now has the calories on everything and the nutritional breakdown. Very helpful and often an eye opener. The best thing you can  do on weight watchers is to have fruit with breakfast and lunch. Salads are tricky. You really have to read what is in in . Some have up to 800 calories. Some are more modest at 350ish.

I have not been doing yoga. Maybe because of my recent obsession with the horse.  Also I just have not wanted to do it. I am not sure if all the sweating yielded more than dehydration. For whatever reason I just do not want to do it. Maybe because I stuck out like a sore thumb in that class. I think that I am the sort of person that likes to mix things up and I get bored very easily. I am still on my bike to work most days.

Drinking way less,  maybe one day a week. The points for wine is just crazy. I think they are trying to say healthy thin people do not drink a bottle of wine. I think??  Anyhow I feel pretty good.

Weigh in Friday. I would be happy with 1/2 a pound as I said I experimented with freedom this week.
