Frustration

So Wednesday I weighed in, even though I didn't have to because I only have to weigh in once a month now. I feel like I need to see that weight every week in order to stay on track. I was a little frustrated with the woman at WW who weighed me. I was still above the 2 pound window I have for lifetime, and she made a comment about it saying that if it took me too long to get back within that 2 pound window I would have to pay every week. I was so frustrated because the people at the meetings, especially those that work there, are supposed to be your support system and encourage you not make you feel bad about the little weight gain that happens. This is not how you should feel after talking to one of the WW staffers. I started this week trying to not react emotionally to the negative comment. This will be a challenge for me.

Thursday- I started the day with a banana peanut butter smoothie. I went out to lunch with a co-worker. We walked over to a health food store that makes cold pressed juices, smoothies and delicious fresh food! I got a chicken wrap with a side of red pepper spread and multigrain chips. After work we had a happy hour, I did my best to avoid eating all of the high points appetizers.

Friday-For breakfast I had some ice tea and sparkling water, an apple and biscotti. For lunch I was supposed to go out with some co-workers but the plans got canceled at the last minute. Instead I got a very light sandwich of cucumber, avocado, sprouts and lettuce on multi-grain bread. This was accompanied by a pickle and some chips. For dinner I roasted from broccoli and grilled up chicken. I love having access to the grill.

Saturday- For breakfast I sautéed some sweet potatoes, chicken sausage, spinach and egg whites for a breakfast scramble.  Then it was off to Tortuga Music Festival! It can be hard to make great decisions food wise at a music festival. One thing that I know the points for is a falafel in a pita. That was my late lunch choice and I tried to drink tons of water and enjoyed some beers. Kenny Chesney once again put on a great show! I was totally beat by the time we got home and just drank a bunch of water and crashed.

Sunday- I slept until 11am which I haven't done in forever! For breakfast I had a tuna wrap and Andy and I headed off to Tortuga again! We were got to see Frankie Ballard, Sam Hunt, Band Perry, and Zac Brown. It was once again a fantastic day full of good music, people watching and beer!

Monday- Breakfast was a green berry smoothie. Lunch was half of a veggie sandwich with sparkling water and iced tea. For dinner I went out with Allie and Lindsay to a great place called the Gluttonous Goat. We decided the best way to try many things was to get a bunch of small plates and split everything. It was incredibly delicious!. I had a fantastic drink made of smashed watermelon, jalapeno and vodka.

Tuesday- Breakfast was a banana peanut smoothie. For lunch I had a stuffed squash, broccoli with hummus, and an apple. For dinner I made Andy and I stuffed pablano peppers. The stuffing was made out of leftover chicken, some cheese and salsa. The peppers were then baked and served with guac and jalapeno greek yogurt dip.

Wednesday-Fore breakfast I made a green berry smoothie. I love the ease of making a smoothie before work. It is easy to eat in the car and both filling and delicious. For lunch I had yellow split pea soup from the cafe at work with hummus and carrots. I didn't make it to my weekly Weight Watchers meeting because Andy and I met with the priest to take the Focus Survey. I am kind of glad I didn't have to go deal with the mean lady again! For dinner we went back to one of our favorites. Southwest Salads! We cooked chicken in the crockpot with adobo chilis. The salad consisted of romaine lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, black beans, corn and onion. We also got some crunchy jalapeno peppers to put on top. We also topped with guac and salsa and ranch dressing.
