Week 3

Last week was an awesome one! I was down 4.4 lbs at weigh in for a total so far of 10.4 pounds. I know I'm not going to lose that much every week, but damn it felt good! I'm hoping to lose 1.6 this week so I can be at 12 lbs lost and receive my 5% award. Back when I did WW before, the first award was for 10%, which for me now, is 23 lbs. I like that they have added a 5% reward since it's important to receive recognition in the early weeks or months.

Last week's weather wasn't too conducive to evening walks so I only had 2 or 3 days where I hit 10,000 steps. I was able to walk the dog yesterday after church and I think it's supposed to be a lot nicer this week so hopefully I'll be able to walk in the evenings more.

Yesterday was Easter and while I didn't go super crazy, there were things I shouldn't have eaten. I had made these cute flowers from pretzels and M & Ms and I think I had 3 of them. I did stay away from my daughter's Easter basket of chocolate, peeps, and popcorn balls though!

Dinner was prime rib and I had a piece about the size of a deck of cards so that wasn't too horrible probably. There was a spaghetti squash dish that was really good. I didn't have very much though because I was afraid of how pointy it was since it had olive oil, bacon, parmesan cheese, and pine nuts in it.  I found the recipe and calculated the points; using turkey bacon, the total points for the whole recipe is 38 (44 with regular bacon). It says it makes 4 servings, but not how much each serving is, but I know I didn't eat 1/4 of it! There was a decent amount left and probably 5 adults had some. I might make it at home since it's not as pointy as I thought!

I also had some green beans that probably had some butter on them, and 3 mushrooms that were in butter. I love slicing them and having a little with each bite of prime rib. So good! I passed on the orange salad made with cottage cheese and cool whip, and also the mashed potatoes, gravy, fresh homemade rolls, and WINE. All in all, very proud of myself.

On to week 4!
