My "Bad" Day!!!

aleen said:

Well I was sort of dreading Thursday! It is the day where
I'm at school all day (from right before lunch to 8:30
PLUS an hour and a half commute each way!). Since I have
classes during my normal meal times, what I used to do was
grab a six inch salami and provolone sub at a local deli,
with some veggies, oil and vinegar and salt and pepper,
THEN with the sandwich I'd have a bag of sour cream and
onion chips, tsk tsk! For supper, I'd grab some fast food.
It was my most sinful day of the week, but I used to think
nothing of it, I was often exhausted and all that mattered
was that I wasn't hungry during the day.

Yesterday, sticking with my "day of sin", I ate breakfast
at home:

Strawberry smoothie (3 pts) and an orange (1 pt)

For lunch: Six inch roast beef sub, no mayo or cheese,
loaded with veggies (6 pts) 1 bag of baked Doritos (3 pts)

For supper:

1 small cheeseburger from McDonalds (7 pts) 1 small french
fries (5 pts) 1 Diet coke (0 pts)

For a total of 25 pts. Still within my range, but looking
back, I am not happy with the choices I made. I drank a
few bottles of water yesterday but probably not enough, to
make matters worse. This is the beauty of Weight Watchers,
it encourages you to make SMART choices and think about
your eating habits. I always find when I begin WW, my
choices aren't so good, but eventually I refine them and
start cooking, delicious, nutritious meals. I have been
eating sensibly all week, and did find this to be a
"treat" yesterday, but I feel as though I can still feel
like I'm treating myself, but eat healthier meals. Looking
back, I should probably prepare my own lunch and take it
on the road. I KNOW that I can make myself a sandwich for
far less points than the Subway sandwich. Perhaps I should
eat a salad instead of the Doritos. I still need to think
about supper though. Any suggestions?

Thanks for all your help and support, Jolie

Eat more for breakfast! All you points have fallen to the
bottom of the day!

Make yourself a nice low point meal in the morning that you
can just stuff in the oven when you get in, or buy a WW
ready frozen meal for the same treatment. Add a bag of zero
point salad and a piece of fruit.

I think you did fine for lunch!! This by no means was a
"bad" day!! This was a good day. You improved over what you
used to do by 100%. You aren't going to be perfect for every
meal and you can be happy with that. WW is about true life.

That's a WONDERFUL suggestion, thanks so much, Kate!!

Jolie

Jolie,

I would not beat yourself up too badly. You must have
stayed within your points or close to it which is
wonderful. Plus, with flexpoints you def. made it. As for
suggestions, I was glad to hear that you said add water.
While it is great to allow yourself to enjoy a sode, it is
good to balance the two. At least the Diet Coke is 0
points! As for the rest, I would try to eat something
healthier for dinner such as a grilled chicken sandwich
from Mcdonalds. Allow yourself the fries as a treat for
eating a healthy sandwich. Weight watchers is all about
learning how to eat the healthy and enjoy the junk food in
moderation. I think that you are on your way.

Thanks, Connie! What a nice thing to say! This is what I
like about this group, everyone is so encouraging and non-
judgemental. And at the same time, everyone is very
intelligent and knowledgeable! Thanks again!

Jolie

BTW, Connie, just looking at your return e-mail address, are
you Canadian? I am a "transplanted Canadian" (born and bred
in NW Ontario) who lives in NYC now (huge pizza slice and
indulgent deli hell!!!)

Thank you for your kind words Alex. And that is a great
suggestion you gave about the grilled chicken sandwich, I
will definitely give that a try!!!

You did make much better choices than before so that's good
news. I have strayed away from burgers and fries since I
joined WW (so little food for too many points). I usually
get one of the chicken salads when going to Wendy's or
McDonalds. Last night I worked late and stopped at
McDonalds on the way home. I had the Grilled Chicken
California Cobb salad with about 1TBS of dressing. Also,
add a piece of fruit to your dinner. So much healthier than
burger and fries.

For lunch I would have had a 2point lowfat Yogart to get
another milk serving in. I reserve chips for late night
snacking and then they are the no-fat WOW chips.

Taking your own sandwich is a great idea. I like the wow doritos if your
system can tolerate them, you could have a double serving for 3 points. If
you ate a salad along with this it would free up some points for dinner. I
like the MD bacon ranch salad, with or without the chicken. I never eat
dressing so you would have to use your own as the store stuff that comes
with it is really big points. Good luck, Lee
