It Seems Easy

Hello again!

Well this time around it seems much easier to eat health than it has any other time.  Maybe this really means that I am going to be successful this time around.  I haven't been that hungry these last few days, and I have been filling up on water.  I did accomplish something today that I never would have thought I would do...actually two things.  I made Velvetta Shells and Cheese and didn't eat any, not even the noodle to see if it was done cooking.  I also didn't eat any garlic bread with dinner.  Those are two things that I would have never been able to avoid in the past, but the points just weren't worth it.  Today was weigh in day according to my Weight Watchers.  It is every Tuesday.  Keep in mind I didn't start doing Weight Watchers actively until Thursday, but I have lost 2.4 pounds.  If I could work out I'm sure it would have been more, but I'm not complaining at all.

I had physical therapy on Monday and they agree completely with my doctor, that my knee isn't getting better and that surgery is probably going to be inevitable.  So on Thursday I guess the orthopedic surgeon will let me know what he wants to do.  

Kylie turns 3 on Thursday as well and I can't believe it's already been three years since she was brought into our life.  Everyday is a new blessing with her and I can't imagine not having her around.  Her birthday party is on Sunday and I am going to do the same thing I did last year, not eat her cake.  She is so excited about her birthday and that's all we hear about.  She keeps calling it her happy birthday party.  She's so darn cute.  On Sunday I decided to make two crockpot meals to serve to people that are staying later at Kylie's birthday.  I will make pulled bbq chicken, and cheesy potatoes.  The chicken will be pretty healthy, but there is no way the cheesy potatoes will be.  I will just have to limit my portion size.  

I have watched both episodes of The Biggest Loser and am staying encouraged by watching.  It's strange though I look at people on the tv that weigh close to the same amount and I don't feel like I look like that.  Don't get me wrong, I don't like the way my body looks, but it's weird to see them and compare to myself.  I wish they would tell you how tall they are so you could have a better sense of their body type.  Either way, there are some very motivational stories on there and I plan to keep watching and lose the weight right along with them.  It's been nice hearing everyone's words of encouragement, please continue, because it helps me stay focused!

That's it for now, need to get back to the homework!
