It's not fair. Did I weigh wrong yesterday? I weighed both times first thing in the morning... There's no reason I should weigh 1.2 lbs more than I did yesterday :( I am so sad. There are a couple of hard things about dieting. The great thing about weight watchers is you don't have to eat certain food. You can eat what you want, it's just mostly about portion control and not over-doing it, which makes sense.
The #1 hardest problem I have is this: I eat wayyyyy tooooo faaaaast. Eric fusses at me for it all the time. I scarf down my food as fast as possible. He always asks me "did you taste it?" I can trace this back to when I got my first 'real' job at subway. We got 15 minute breaks. At 15-16 years old, I could eat as much as I wanted, of course, with the metabolism of a teenager. So, on my 15 minute break, I would eat a 6 inch sub, a cookie or two, drink my drink, and sometimes have ice cream, and still have time to chill out before jumping back on the job.
Anyway, eating fast is no good. It takes 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain it is full. So, if you eat a full meal in less than 5 minutes of course you're still going to be hungry. My problem is not getting up and searching for more food.
So here was my food plan for today:
Breakfast pt. 1- 1
I had a green apple before my workout
Breakfast pt. 2 - 1
After workout I had a slice of turkey bologna, which is awesomely only 1 point.score.
Lunch - 6
What I had yesterday was great, so I duplicated it
1 tortilla - 3
2 oz chicken - 2
.3 oz shredded cheddar cheese - 1
a pinch of lettuce, 3 tbs hot sauce, 3 tbs salsa - 0
so daggoned tasty. It will be a frequent, for sure.
Dinner - 8?
It's hard to tell. I had some of my gramma's homemade vegetable soup. I done some research, and decided:
1 cup homemade vegetable soup - 6
17 mini crackers - 2
It was so worth it. SOOO yummy in my tummy.
So, so far today I've had 16 points... crap. I have a few to go... what should I have? I need to keep in mind that soup may be more than 6... But I need to get as close to 23 as possible... I'll probably have some marshmallows or another half cup of soup or something.
Oh, and the workout I did today? Turbokick. Dude, rough. So intense.

Day 1. -0 lbs.
Alright. Here it is. I just need to come out and say it... My weight.
163.3 lbs.
Before I got pregnant, I weighed 120 lbs. I do NOT want to get that small. I looked sick. Plus, I kinda like some of my curves. My goal weight is 130-35.
Here's what I ate today:
Breakfast-a couple of cookies. This is actually what made me want to start this for sure. Seriously, cookies for breakfast? How lame.
So, quickly, I am allotted 23 points per day. I have no clue how many points were in those, since I made them from scratch.
Lunch - 6 points
A few pickles - 0 pts.
1 Flour tortillia - 3 pts.
3 oz Canned chicken - 3 pts.
.3 oz shredded cheddar cheese - 3 pts.
Water - 0
I cooked the chicken in some wing sauce, put it on the tortilla, and topped it with the cheese and some salsa, wrapped it up and ate it like a burrito. Wing sauce and salsa are both 'free' foods, meaning (with moderation) you can use them to season, without adding any points. The same goes for pickles and banana peppers. I'm not sure why, but I'll take it! YUM!. I used the pickles as a side order.
Dinner - 8
1 veggie boca chicken patty - 4
2 slices white bread - 3
1 slice american cheese - 1
1 tsp Mustard - 0
1 pinch of lettuce - 0
Water - 0
This one I just made a sandwich out of. I LOVE the boca variety. My bffeae growing up was a Vegetarian from a young age. I never really tried it, but I naturally ate a lot less meat around her. She also turned me on to boca. They make any meat imaginable. It's so daggoned scrumptious. Even my husband, a self proclaimed carnivore who requires meat at every meal, loves the stuff. Plus, it's not as bad for you!
Dessert - 2
4 regular marshmallows - 2
I was surprised there were so few points in marshmallows. So scrump.
I've used all but 6 points today, which I'm sure were in the cookies I ate this morning. And, you're supposed to eat right at your amount, so I done pretty good.
So far today, I've had 71.1oz of water, which is a ton. You're supposed to have 64 normally. My eyes have been floating all day :P
How do I feel? Not so bad. I've wanted a soda all day, and of course I'm craving some chocolate... but I'm glad I'm jumping back on this horse.
Tomorrow, I am working out, and doing some turbokick with my step-mother, at 8am! Bright and early! I'm so daggoned excited.

Hello, my name is Fat Ashley :)
Just kidding :) But for real. I have gots to lose some weight!
I hope you already follow me on my other blog, where I talk about my life as an army wife: www.ashleyjayne.com
But this is sort of just a side blog. I have to crack down on getting skinny, and I figure if I put my stuff out there for everyone to see. I'm gonna do weight watchers. Every single day, I will post my weight, what I eat, and how many points I use.
I don't go to the support group, or pay for anything weight watchers, for that matter. I done some research online. I use the old form of weight watchers, not the points plus system. Mainly it's just too much work, bahaha. But really, the equation is simple.
(Carbs/50)+(Fat/12)-(Dietary Fiber/5). And there's your points! You're supposed to round, I usually round up.
So, how many points do you get? Use this formula:
1. Are you:
Female?........score 2
Male?............score 8
Breastfeeding?....score 12
2. How old are you?
17-26...........score 4
27-37...........score 3
38-47...........score 2
48-58...........score 1
over 58.........score 0
3. What do you weigh?
Enter the first 2 digits of your weight in pounds
4. How tall are you?
under 5' 1".......score 0
5' 1" to 5' 10"...score 1
over 5' 10.........score 2
5. Do you spend most of your day:
sitting down?....score 0
occasionally sitting, but mainly standing?........score 2
walking most of the time.........score 4
doing physically hard work most of the time?...score 6
Then, just add them up! You're also supposed to get so many extra points a week, I think it's like 25? That you can use wherever you want to. But I want to lose weight, so I'm gonna try my best not to use that.
I use the chart I printed out from this site to keep track of everything, it even have boxes to check at the bottom to keep up with how many fruits and veggies, bottles of water, and milk products you use. It's great.http://www.laaloosh.com/printable-weight-watchers-food-journal/
So, there ya go!
I'll post each night, so I'm not posting after every meal.
