Oh my goodness! I love how fabulously upbeat and happy you are!! Your positive attitude is going to make your journey so much easier.

I understand your issues with portion control. I have had the same problem. I've been on WW for a little less than 2 months and I'm still having problems. Here's the WW "Portion Primer". Hopefully it will help. It's worked really well for me with my protein and starch servings.

A 3-oz. serving of deli sliced turkey (rolled) looks like a cassette tape.
A 3-oz. serving of lean meat or fish looks like a deck of cards
A 1-cup serving of most starches (cereal, pasta) and most veggies looks like a tennis ball
A 1-oz. serving of hard cheese looks like 4 dice
A 1/2-cup scoop of ice cream looks like a cupcake wrapper
A 1-tsp. serving of mayonnaise looks like 1 die
A 1-tbsp. serving of peanut butter, cream cheese or butter looks like 3 dice

My other piece of advice is to follow the American Dietetic Association's guideline to always fill half of your plate with veggies/fruit at every meal. The other half should be used for your protein and starch and all of the foods should be separated by 1 inch of space on all sides. This will help you to proportion your meals.

Congratulations on your loss of inches and your wonderful exercise record! Just keep at it and the pounds will come off. Remember, you're learning to be healthier while you're waiting for the weight to go away. Being healthier is more important than losing pounds. Good luck!

Thanks again...and welcome to my journal. Let's make our journey together, shall we? One baby step at a time...onward and downward!!

[TPCShauna]

What shameless plug? And congrats on the loss!

 

[TigerCheer2009]

The one that I wrote on your journal! Love ya mean it! Thanks.

 

[TPCShauna]

Too funny!! You were "shamelessly plugging" your journal while I was reading your journal! What did they say about great minds?

 

[TigerCheer2009]

Your totals for the day look great! Are you following WW through Fitday.com?

Yeah, actually, I am!! Thanks for visiting again!!

B: 1/2 a turkey subway sub (5). I was HUNGRY and there was nobody in the WORLD who could keep me from having that sub. Oh well.

FYI, it snowed. Just dandy. I was planning on a bike ride or walking around a track to prep myself for the BG Relay for life in about a month. Tartar sauce! Bad snow!

Thanks...I feel good, and I think I've gotten MORE energy from exercise. Thanks SOOOO much Lesli...you are a mentor-friend and those are the most important parts of weight loss: being able to talk to people who know what you're going through. And look at you!!! Congrats, Lesli!!! I'm so happy for you!!!

But this point is you made it! Good for you!

Hope you have a great Monday!!!

 

[TPCShauna]

Sounds like your day was pretty darn good if you had points left over! I make a point of allowing myself 5 Flex points a day just in case I need them or want them. A good day for me is when I use my exact number of daily points.

Good job and good luck this week!

Thanks...it's been a ROUGH day. I played bball, dodgeball and walked around for three hours. Not too rough is it??? Well, add in a pair of three inch high heels! Thanks Shauna, You are a PEACH 110%!

But this point is you made it! Good for you!

Hope you have a great Monday!!!

Thanks, pearlie. You, too, are a 110% peach.

B: pb toast
L: 2 slices pizza, two swiggs pepsi
D: Buffet...turkey sammie on white w/ mayo, cheese and tomatoes
No snack today.

Exercise: bball, dodgeball and walking around for 3 hours in high heels. How many calories do you get for falling down a flight of stairs and not goring anyone with the heel of your "perfect shoe??"
