Yes, this is a few day’s late, but our regular WW meeting was cancelled due to icy road conditions (here in Texas, that means lots of accidents as almost nobody knows how to drive on ice; rule of thumb: you can’t). I ended up going to a meeting near work on my lunch hour today.

Now, I know I made that challenge last week and I did track all of my food, but I did not stay within my points. I had failed to recall that our planned weekend trip to Austin would fall during last week. Thus, I was guaranteed to enjoy myself and go beyond my means (points-wise).

As it turns out, I had maintained my exact weight (neither gaining or losing). This I count as a victory as I had done some major overtime this week and they had ordered in thin crust pizza so that I ate it three days in a row. Perhaps if I had chosen more wisely, I might have had a loss this week.

So today I pick up a sandwich at Jimmy John’s for lunch and consume the thing before I checked the points. I had eaten half my daily allowance in that one sandwich (the Beach Club which though it contained turkey, lettuce, tomatoes, bean sprouts and cucumbers, it also contained provolone, avocados and regular mayo). Had I known the points value, I would have eaten half and saved the other for lunch today.

I’m putting my challenge on hiatus for this weekend. Though I am not a sports fan, I have been invited by a very good friend to join them for a Super Bowl party. So, it will not be easy to stay on program and I’m giving myself a week off. I’ll let you know how I do after next week’s weigh-in.

Also, I’m only a few weeks away from taking some updated photos. I’ve taken them at almost exactly every 35 weeks. The last one at week 105, so the next one, week 140, is three weeks away. I hope to see a greater improvement as I’ve been streamlining thanks to all of my running.

Speaking of which, I did a 3 mile run this evening to give me some points for dinner. Not my best time, but I’m keeping it under 34 minutes, which is pretty good for me.

Until next time, Go (insert the name of one of the teams at the Super Bowl that you may have some interest in seeing win)!
