While losing daily points is slightly depressing (but in the "it's hurts so good kinda way") it's exciting to me to continue losing and getting closer to my goal. But, finding creative ways to use my points so that I still feel satisfied continues to challenge me. I love this plan and I continue to work this plan because I am able to eat well. Steak and seafood find their way on our plates more often than not. Delicious fresh vegetables are now a welcome addition to the table and we continue to look for new ways to prepare them to keep our tastebuds happy.
Dan has told me (several times recently) that I should probably be eating some of my activity points. I tend to not eat them, not for any particular reason other than I'm not usually hungry. There are some days where I do feel like I could eat the world, and I try to moderate that but on the normal day I just don't feel it and I don't want to consume food just because I have points left.
And since I have no funny story to tell you tonight (honestly I wrote one and then read it and then realized it wasn't funny) I will share some funny photos with you. We needed to take some photos of the two of us and we were getting a little frustrated with the results. So, we had to shake things up ... We also have a whole new respect for our friends who are photographers.

See you all on Thursday for another Thankful Things Thursday!
Congratulations on your loss! That's great! I hardly ever eat my activity points just because I figure at some point in my week I probably calculated incorrectly or had a bite, lick or taste I didn't count. But I think you probably earn way more of them than me!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteAs for the activity points - that's a really good way to think about things and I'm going to tell my husband that because I know there are times that even though I measure (all the time) that sometimes I throw an extra gram or two in here or there and while that's probably not a big deal to do very often it can certainly add up. I like that way of thinking though - thanks for sharing!!
Dan is handsome.
ReplyDeleteI'll let him know you approve. :)
