Weight Watchers....the battle with junk food....

Weakness set in this morning. I rise from my bed. Begin my normal morning routine and it beckons me.....this nagging little voice,temptation...Jennie...come on Jennie....I'm right here under the laundry basket organizer...you know you want to sneak a peak...what can it hurt...come on Jennie....just one peak. I'M LIKE A JUNKIE! I have to step on the scale; I MUST DO IT. As the numbers begin their roulette of doom I start to regret my decision to look. BUT....Woo hoo!!!! To my total surprise, I'm already down 2 pounds!!! hehehehe The little scale voice is gone...for now.

My diet strategy is going well, my Mom on the other hand is still trying to wrap her brain around the concept of the points system and fiber/calorie/fat content in foods. It doesn't help that she manages a convenience store at the university that sales nothing but junk. I mean junk...the absolute only healthy thing that is sold in the store is a small basket of fruit (bananas and apples) that are not restocked on a regular basis and some broth based soups. That's it people. Temptation is every where.

Mom doesn't want to take her points slider to work...she is afraid she is going to lose it. :(

Yesterday, she basically followed her food plan until the 7up Pound Cake! Who knew 7up made a pound cake? She saved the wrapper and brought it home to check the points. She was surprised to learn that there are 6 points in that tiny little slice of heaven. Into the extra weekly points she goes!

Running update.....long run tomorrow, 10 miles! I've been kind of lazy this week. I ran Tuesday for 3 and Wednesday 2.25.  I should have run on Thursday but decided to sleep in a bit. Since the long run is on Saturday I usually don't run on Friday. This weeks total is low but I vow to make it up next week. :D
