January 2003 Non Scale Victories!



January 5, 2003: First weigh in of the New Year and NO Holiday gain!!! In fact, had 3 pound loss!!:) I feel so proud of myself! I made my Holiday Plan out ahead of time and stuck to it! Now I get to say good-bye to the 170's as well:))))


January 5 - 11, 2003: Spent the week in San Antonio with my hubby:) Hubby packed a suitcase full of friendly point items for me to take along!:) Took: reduced calorie bread, reduced fat peanut butter, grape jelly, special k berry bars, fat free saltine crackers, laughing cow cheese, ms. meringue cookies, tootsie roll pops, pre measured bowls of lucky charms cereal, bananas, apples, grapes, cup a soups, and took a cooler along with diet sugar free jello in it, caffeine free diet coke and skim milk! That way I could avoid the hotel donuts and danish and stick to program!! Met Mittyneal while I was there and she showed me another point friendly restaurant that I can eat at!!:)) Walked almost everywhere we went! Lots of AP's!


January 26, 2003: Super Bowl Sunday! Hubby and I went grocery shopping and I was happy knowing that I could have almost anything I wanted, during the big game, for dinner that night! I had 13 points figured in for dinner and had 8 extra banked points as well :) Well, my non scale victory here was the fact that I didn't want the old foods that I ate before joining Weight Watcher's! In fact, when I put the info from one of my past favorite foods in to my points calculator, I saw it was 9 points for one serving! NINE! I dropped that box like it was on fire! LOL :) Ended up having a 6 point meal that night after all:) And, even after having a couple of Super Bowl goodies, I still ended up with points in the bank that night! This really opened my eyes and showed me that my eating habits really have changed!! :)


January 27, 2003: Tried on my women's size 14 jeans and they buttoned and zippered today!!:))) Still too tight to wear comfortably... but this is as close to wearing them as I have gotten in almost 3 years!!:)))
