So I weighed in this morning at 127. That felt pretty good and really made me questiong my overhaul. But I am sick of going to bed hungry (last night too). I think I will continue my overhaul for one month - as planned and then go from there! I am in my range now!
Monday:
Exercised at BOSU
Water - 75 ounces
Food - 24 out of 24 points

I fully support your new overhaul. I really hope it works b/c you deserve to see success on the scale. You have really stepped up the exercise and are committed to the routine. Your eating habits are very healthy as well. Good luck at tomorrow's weigh in. I suggest you weigh in on Wednesday morning too so you can see if there is a difference between the 2 days with/without the workout.
Today was one of the first days where I felt that I could tell a difference in my appearance. It's nice to look in the mirror and think something positive rather than negativity. We'll see how Wednesday morning goes b/c I don't feel that I've had a successful week.
Today:
Water: 64 oz.
Food: 26 of 28 points
Exercise: 1 hour, 30 minutes of raking leaves and 30 minutes on treadmill

Total Overhall!
Ok. So I have been thinking. I want to restart myself. I feel like I need to up my calorie intake. Going to bed hungry every night (even when I use my flex points) isn't something that I am willing to live with any longer. Certain things are not happening in my life physically and I want to try to figure out if it's because I'm not eating enough. 20 points is about 1000 calories. I am really fairly active. Outside of intense exercising on a really regular basis I am chasing Tyler around, dancing with him A LOT (he loves to have his mom and dad dance w/ him) and doing a lot of household chores that I don't count exercise points for. SO - I after my weigh in tomorrow I am going to increase my points to 30 points a day - that is 1500 calories. I will use exercise points, when needed and flex points (when needed - but won't use them if I don't need them). I am going to continue to monitor my weight weekly, Tuesday morning weigh ins. Most improtantly I am not going to eat if I am not hungry (therefore I may not use all my 30 points each day). I am going to focus a lot of my calorie intake on protien, I have to avoid yogurt (it makes me REALLY gassy) and limit sweets intake to 3 times a week.
GOALS FOR THIS WEEK:
Food:
Monday - 20 points use exercise points (will workout at BOSU tonight)
Tuesday - Sunday - 30 points a day using exercise points and flex points when needed.
Exercise at least 4 times
Water - at least 64 ounces a day. No limiting coffee intake and try not to drink more that 80 ounces a day.
UPDATES FROM LAST WEEK
Sunday:
Had no coffee and drank plenty of water
Rode bikes with my family - for about 30 - 40 min (3 or 4 exercise point)
Food - 30 out of 23 points - consider 7 flex and 3 exercise points

I survived another weekend. I've managed to stay within my points throughout the week so far but I feel like I've cheated a lot. I haven't.
Today, I watched the race with Mike the elf. First outing since he worked for us. It went well and I was actually able to talke about stuff other than the race. Must be some kind of miracle.
Water: 64 oz.
Food: 26 of 28 points. Couldn't get those darn girl scout cookies out of my head
Exercise: none really- did clean some of the house though

Saturday
Seems like you and Dave are quite the active and social couple. I understand going to bed hungry- I did the same. I'm cracking up at your Nutty Nuggets cravings!
Today I walked around the neighborhood with Kathy for an hour. It felt nice to be out and about. I'm ready for decent weather.
Water: over 64 oz. Had to force myself to slow down
Food: 29 of 28 points, 1 exercise point
Exercise: 1 hour walk

Friday & Saturday
So I didn't post either.
Last night we went out to dinner with friends. We seem to be doing that a lot lately. It doesn't help with dieting. I also have NO idea how many points things were becuase, of course we have to go to wierd places to eat. So I got a vegitarian indian dish. Spinaige, potatoe (just a few in there) and rice w/ a cup of soup and a 1/2 piece of flat bread. I found the food item in the WW book - 6 points for one cup - so I gave myself 12, plus 3 for the soup (Dave ate some of it too) and 3 for the flat bread. The sad thing is that about 10:45 I was lying in bed starving and not abl eto slepe because of Dave's snoring - so I got up and gave in to the graving of nutty nuggets. An additional 8 points (milk & NN) - as I was lying in bed I was thinking, what is the point, why am I going to bed hungry - for what reason - who cares. But today I'm back on points (SAT) for the most part. We did go to someone else's house for dinner tonight. No control over the food choices - lentel soup (which isn't that bad) and a peanut asiain noodle thing (delicous) - so anyway here are my calculations:
Friday -
Water & Coffee
walked three miles to pick up my car (4 points)
Food: 39 points (consider 4 flex points and 15 flex points)
Saturday -
Water - no coffee
walked for about an hour in the park w/ Tyler and Dave (4 exercise points)
Food: 31 points (consider 4 exercise points and 7 flex points) - flex points remaining
ALSO - I was reading in one of Krista's cookbooks - it was saying that if you are having a sweet tooth that you should drink sugar free hot chocolate and it's 0 points. So I went to the store and found Swiss Miss hot chocolate - diet verson. 25 calories and 1 fiber, 0 fat. It was OK - but is kind of nice to know that I can have some hot chocolate for 0 points.

So I was cutting up my pineapple this morning and realized that I completely forgot to post last night. I went to Happy Hour with some friends and managed to maintain most control. I had one beer and 2 slices of pizza. I'm not sure how many points to count for the pizza but my general rule is 1/4 of a large pizza is 15 points so that is what I went with. I had one big slice of cheese of a large pizza and one regular size slice of a medium pepperoni. The sad thing is I used all those points and was still hungry!
Water: 64 oz.
